Enhanced E Editor - ClipText

Sponsored Link:

The ClipText facility gives you a handy place to store clippings of text that are used often. Like the Plugin directory, any TXT files that are found in the ClipText directory are added to the menu for easy retrieval with the menu choice or the Alt+1 through Alt+0 hot key combinations.

Whenever you call a text clipping from the ClipText facility, it will be pasted into the editor at the current cursor position. If the cursor is at the start of the existing text, the clipping will be pasted in before the existing text. If the cursor is at the end, the clipping will be too. If the cursor is in the middle of a word, the imported ClipText will split the word in two and place itself there.

You can put any kind of text files in the directory for recall including thank you notes, reminders, assorted signature files or maybe it's just a long word that you don't want top look up every time you type it. Your Clippings are limited only by your imagination.

The title of each of your ClipText menu items is the same as the name of your file. In the case of the sample files, the menu items are _ReadMe1, _ReadMe2 and _ReadMe3 for the files called _ReadMe1.txt _ReadMe2.txt and _ReadMe3.txt.

The menu is filled alphabetically so AppleComments.txt will appear before BicycleRiderWelcome.txt. We have used an underscore as the first character of the samples so they will always be one of the last ones to make it onto the menu as you add your own files.

Everything in the ClipText file is imported into the editor so if you don't want a carraige return on the end of a sentence that you are calling from the ClipText facility, don't put one in the ClipText file and it won't show up when it's pasted into the editor.
