One way would be to use a send in time loop. Check to see if the data in the clipboard array is different, if so, act. Some untested quick and dirty code follows.
command checkClipboard if sLastClipA is empty then put the clipboarddata into sLastClipA -- do something with the data in sLastClipA else repeat for each key tKey in the clipboarddata -- check the data in the keys here, against the keys you saved in sLastClipA -- if there is a change, do something with the data in the clipboarddata end if put the clipboarddata into sLastClipA send "checkClipboard" to me in 100 millisec end checkClipboard On Tue, May 26, 2015 at 10:36 AM, Magicgate Software - Skip Kimpel < s...@magicgate.com> wrote: > Is there a way to have LC sitting in the background (not hidden, just not > in focus) and keep track of items put in the clipboard?
