Quick Search with Clipboard data?

Post by shamsudeen »

hi, i work in a dual monitor setup, left side screen has one window opened with some files, i copy the files name and search on the left side screen xyplorer window, so copy file name from left side screen and go to xyplorer and press F3 Quick Search and paste the copied file name and enter, this is what i am doing. this takes some seconds and taking 3 clicks. .

so i need this to be like when i press the F3 it should automatically paste the clipboard data and start find it without any more click. ?
is that possible ?
Thank you all for community.

Without the GUI? Via scripting. Within the GUI? Only with automation tools like AutoHotkey (requires coding as well).

Search for <clp> to search for whatever text is currently in the clipboard.
