ConPaste - by Carolyn Scheppner, CATS
ConPaste is a 2.0 commodity that allows you to paste clipped
text into anything.
Paste into string gadgets. Paste into any text application.
When you press a user-defined key combination, ConPaste will
take any FTXT found in clipboard unit 0, convert the text
back into input events, and send the input events into the
input stream. The output will go to the active window or
string gadget.
The built-in default key combination for pasting with ConPaste is now
RightAmiga-j (previously RightAmiga-i which was not a great combination
since that is supposed to bring up Info). You can define a different
combination with the KEY= tooltype by supplying a commodities-type key
description such as:
KEY=RCOMMAND j (RightAmiga-j)
KEY=LALT p (LeftAlt-p)
KEY=f1 (function key f1)
NOTE: You must first clip the console text to the clipboard via
the normal 2.0 drag select and RightAmiga-C, or by using a text
editor which supports clipping or copying of text to the clipboard.
You can also use SYS:Utilities/More to display and clip text from
any plain ASCII text file.
Revisions:
37.17 should be more compatible with international keyboards.
It copies the system default keymap, and nullifies the
numeric pad mappings in its own keymap, then uses this
keymap when calling MapANSI. This prevents translations
to numeric pad raw key values in a manner that should be
compatible with all keyboards. Since many applications
(such as VT100 emulators) set their own special mappings
for numeric pad keys, it is not desirable to convert
any FTXT ASCII values to the raw numeric pad key value.
This new scheme should cause them to be converted to the
normal keyboard raw events which can create that character.
37.18 Optimized AddIEvents code by adding down and up event pair together.
37.25 Added a Delay(5) on linefeeds plus now have Conpaste reduce its
own task priority by 1 just while converting and shoving
the characters back into the input stream. This allows adequate
processing time for the receiving task and window to deal
with the characters. Now much larger blocks of text can be pasted
into slow programs or programs with small input buffers.
