AutoClipX

AutoClipX

Introduction

Copy and paste… with your mouse!

Featuring AutoPaste, AutoWin and AutoSave

AutoClipX automatically copies content you select by dragging your mouse to the Windows clipboard, while pasting is accomplished by simply clicking a mouse button (the middle button by default). You can also ACX to automatically copy content selected with Ctrl + A and with Shift plus a Left Mouse Button click, enabling quick copying of large portions of content.

AutoClipX is meant to be as transparent as possible so you can continue working normally, yet offers many very powerful features and lots of configuration options.

Automatic copying is regulated several ways to prevent unwanted copying and pasting in applications you want to ignore, or work with exclusively, including by cursor type, window blacklisting or whitelisting, window control blacklisting, and through the use of hot-keys.

AutoClipX is not application aware and should work with any program window that supports copying and pasting using Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V.

AutoClipX will allow copying and pasting only for the cursor types you have enabled. Only the I-Beam cursor is enabled for both copying and pasting by default, but you can also enable other cursor types to add additional functionality.

Many programs allow you to highlight a word, line or paragraph with multiple left mouse clicks instead of having to drag the cursor. AutoClipX can automatically copy content selected in this way, but only while the cursor is an I-Beam (restricted for safety).

If you are running another application which utilizes the Windows clipboard, such as a clipboard manager, you may need to disable it if AutoClipX fails to work properly.

The old way:
  1. Select stuff to copy
  2. Right click to display a context menu
  3. Click “Copy”
  4. Switch to the window you want to paste to
  5. Click to set the caret position
  6. Right click to display a context menu
  7. Click “Paste”
  8. Switch back to the window you were working with
 Or… 
  1. Select stuff to copy
  2. Press CTRL + C
  3. Switch to the window you want to paste to
  4. Click to set the caret position
  5. Press CTRL + V
  6. Switch back to the window you were working with
The AutoClipX way:
  1. Select stuff to copy
  2. Click a mouse button to paste… unless you have AutoPaste enabled, in which case you can forget this step as well!
