Kinda like the memory buttons you get on calculators but much easier to use (or maybe its just me that has trouble with that M+ M- stuff). A few buttons above the function keys on the keyboard have the ablitity to store text, images etc to multiple clipboards. So when you want to paste the information
you just hit the appropriate button. This will make form filling in much easier. Like when you have to write your e-mail address lots of times you could just hit the button that you have copied that to. Very handy me thinks.

It assigns each key on your keyboard a separate clipboard and allows you to copy/paste several text pieces at a time using only one hot key. [jd4067, Oct 17 2004]

[midvale99], you are a spoilt, ungrateful wretch. Just learn the damn key sequences, OK ? |
|
| |
leave him alone you big old bully |
|
| |
That's a good idea! (I'm looking at the special built-in "One-touch internet access" buttons on my keyboard now and thinking about how stupid they are, and how much more useful your idea would be) |
|
| |
Not that I know how to do it, but it seems that this would not be too difficult. Great Idea! |
|
| |
How difficult is CTRL-C, CTRL-X and CTRL-V? |
|
| |
What you really appear to be after are keyboard macros (i.e., you can assign strings such as your e-mail address and other keyboard sequences to some key). This is thoroughly Baked. |
|
| |
Microsoft also supplies a multiple copy/paste function with Office, though you appear to want the feature in a broser. |
|
| |
Go to any shareware site and search on "clipboard" and you will find a number of utilities that allow you to have multiple clipboard contents available on the fly. These will work with any app that uses the OS clipboard. So most of this is baked. |
|
| |
But for things other than text? I have "cc" as a shortcut for copyclip and "tc" as copypaste. I could in fact edit the crap out of a menu to make cc1, cc2, tc1, tc2, etc. work for what midvale99 is talking about.
I was considering the ability to copy something in a project multiple times until I am done with the project where I would need it no more.
The more you can make shortcuts using only fingers on the left hand, the faster you will be as you don't have to take your hand off the mouse. |

Some messenger programs like yahoo and also DOS has this sort of feture. just hit a button and it goes backwards showing all the text you typed in. Also, becuase of this problem of copying multiple text, I have a program I'm still working on (extra features) that works. Its basicly an advanced copy board. |

//One-touch internet access// |
|
| |
These buttons are designed for people that think they need one-touch internet access - those who have never used the internet before. |
|
| |
There are two buttons on the regular keyboard that are the bain of my life [Ins] and [Caps Lock]. To a lesser extent, the F1 key as well. In recent office versions, the F1 key launched the hated Office Assistant of the Help file, which takes an unnaturally long time to open and close. |
|
| |
I wish I could have stiff buttons for these keys. They should just take a little _extra_ effort to press. Before I post this as an idea, is it baked? |
|
| |
Internet explorer has an autofill funtion that takes care of
the online form filling out aspect. Just have to set it up
in preferences. |
|
| |
// ... [Ins] and [Caps Lock] // |
|
| |
Yes. I swear that there is some keyboard combination or sequence on the *left-hand* side of my keyboard that automatically activates the [INS] key. And I keep hitting that combination without knowing what it is.
Next thing I know, blump! I've erased half of an existing sentence. |
|
| |
But, since I never need the INS key anyway, a bit of rubber cement or Scotch tape should do the trick. |
|
| |
Try 'Hot keyboad pro', it can paste/replace, even mouse/keyboard recording is possibe, and all key combinations (shift,ctrl, alt, windowskey, or all cominations, also extra hotkey's on you keyboard). |
|
| |
I use it for helpdesk/callcenter call-loging. Complete forms with one button. |
