Non-destructive temp clipboard cut

[GrahamB]

I know the topic title is a mouthful, lol. But here's what I mean: it's an alternative clipboard cut function that remembers the current clipboard text, but lets me cut some selected new text for a temporary paste somewhere else. Once pasted with Ctrl+V, then original text goes back into the clipboard again. So it's good for when you don't want to lose the clipboard text but do need to make a temporary cut and paste with other text. I've got it bound to Shift+Ctrl+X and it works flawlessly. You can easily adapt this to work with copying as well (just duplicate the action, change step 2 to be the copy step, and bind a hotkey to something like Shift+Ctrl+C).

Code Select Expand

(Start)
HOW TO USE: Copy from Start to End, and then paste into an action.
REFERENCE : See an example of pasting at alomware.com/paste.png
0001 String: Assign from clipboard text ""
0002 Keyboard: Cut ""
0003 Wait: For keypresses or mouse clicks "{ctrl}v"
0004 Clipboard: Assign text "string$"
(End)

A very cool tip, Graham!
