Copy selected text automatically to the clipboard
Is there a way to select just part of a filename and have the selected text copied automatically to the clipboard?
Re: Copy selected text automatically to the clipboard
Well, in order to have only part of a filename selected you would need to enter rename mode by slow dbl-clicking the file, then select the part of the name you want to copy and use Ctrl+C in order to copy this to the clipboard.
For anything more automatic you will have to get into scripting and then use a user button or shortcut to initiate it.

Not possible from inside XY, even scripting (as an automatism) won't work

There are Autohotkey scripts which copies any selection to the clipboard.
Code: Select all
