I need often to copy a clip from PhraseExpress clips history to the OS clipboard.

The most easy way which I was able to find needs the series of as much as SIX steps:

Ctrl+Shift+V => Down XN => App => Down => Down => Enter.

It is clearly too long for a such often used operation.

Is there an option to do the same thing with an one-step hotkey combination?
As it seems to be logical...

Check out the the macro function http://macro.phraseexpress.com#insertclipboard, that allows you to insert a n-th clipboard history item.

Example: {#insertclipboard -item 3} would insert the 3rd item of the clipboard history.

Use this macro in a phrase and apply a hotkey to that phrase.

  • Thank you for advice, but it's not exactly what I actually meant. The way you recommends would need creating an **individual hotkey (shortcut) for each of the last clips in the history list**, that means 10/20/100 clips.DIFFERENT hotkeys for the first 10/20/100 clips Also it will no allow to copy other than the first 10/20/100 clips. But I'd wish to get the single universal hotkey which will let me copy to the OS clipboard any clip, **which is currently selected in the list**. – leopoldus Dec 04 '16 at 17:01

  • > We recommend to post your question in our macro questions forum at forum.phraseexpress.com As much as I know, your forum is for registered users only, but I use currently free edition of PhraseExpress. BTW, do you mean, that my question/request is not clear enough even although my last additional comments? – leopoldus Dec 11 '16 at 12:59
