Multiple clipboards

[Back]

These macros allow you to use 10 cut/append/paste buffers. Below are the .neditmacro lines, macro files and macro menu entries. You will need a directory structure along the lines of:

$HOME/nedit/macros/

In here, put clipb.nm and make a clips directory. The clips are stored in files so that they are persistent across editing sessions.

In .neditmacro:

#Clipboard Macros

$clipPath="<your home dir>/nedit/macros/clips/"
load_macro_file("<your home dir>/nedit/macros/clipb.nm")

Set the value of $clipPath according to where your directory is.

Finally, the menu entries. Splice this clip file into your .nedit. It puts Cut on Shift+Alt+<num>, Paste on Alt+<num>, Append on Ctrl+Shift+Alt+<num> and show all on Shift+Alt+<SPACE>
Make sure that doesn't clash with anything else you have defined.

Also, you can see the contents of an individual buffer by pressing Alt+F0-F9.
