Setting Up Multiple Cut Paste Keystrokes
Sep 19, 2007
I'm not sure if this is something that is possible with Window's native software. But, hopefully, it is Basically, I am working with an online database. My work requires me to cut/paste different lines of text from my hard drive onto the online database Typically, to cut/paste, I highlight the text, right click > cut > paste. However, this text is erased as soon as I select something else.Is there a way I can set up keystrokes to get around this?For example, Say I need to cut/paste the following:1) "Red" 2) "Rubber" 3) "Ball" Can I set up Windows so that "Red" will be outputted whenever I press a certain key combo (say F1/C) and that "Rubber" will be outputted when I press F2/C?

The cut and paste control keys do not work on my computer [ Control-X cut & Control-V paste]. There is no error message - they just don't work.For example, if I open a document with Notepad and try to move all or part of it into an internet email then nothing happens. No error messages, just nothing. Same with my word processor I'm using OpenOffice Writer for word processing, free version, and got nothing from them on this question.

Occasionally when I'm typing out something in a text box, program, whatever, my cursor will just pause and several keystrokes might be dropped if I'm typing fast. This seems to happen randomly in spurts, like some days it's really bad and other days the problem doesn't occur. However, something related happens frequently in games, where I might press a key to go forward and it'll register as being continually pressed until I press the key once again. Specific keys don't do this, it seems like all of them do!

On a laptop with Win 2000 operating system, while working in Word the keystrokes stopped appearing. Closed Word and started a new document, still the problem exists. Restarted the laptop and now cannot enter the password. The keystrokes do not appear.

Although I have a mouse with my laptop, I sometimes just use the touch pad if I'm not going to be on very long. With the touch pad being, well, touchy, I experimented with keystrokes.I found that the laptop (with XP Home) will shut down if I press "Alt+F4" keys, then the "U" key for shut down. I tried it on my desktop (with XP Pro) and it worked there too.If it doesn't seem to work, click somewhere on the desktop and try again.

Well a few months back, I had a problem in which pressing the DEL key repeatedly, no matter where, would cause my computer to freeze up momentarily. I formatted my computer and the problem was solved. Now, recently, I'm having the exact same problem, however it's not the tilde key. It doesn't matter if it's a text box, or in winamp, or anything. By just pressing this key twice or more times, my computer will freeze for about 5 seconds

This is my first time using hyperterminal. In the "connect to"windows, I entered the name of the remote computer and portnumber. I was able to see the greeting message from the remote computer. But the windows did not respond to the keyboard.Whatever I typed did not show up in the windows and had no effect.How exactly should I communicate with hyperterminal? How do I makeit recognize the keyboard input?

After I enter a series of keystrokes and stop, I get the chimes sound. This
is quite annoying but I can't find a setting to turn it off. The only way to
make it stop is to select "No Sounds" in the Sounds and Audio Devices section
of Control Panel

My VPR Matrix (XP Home) Notebook's screen can ONLY be seen in the sunlight--but even then it is nearly impossible to see! What I want to do is view the computer on my external monitor, so I can transfer some files to another computer--but I can't see to change the settings. Can this be done just using 'keystrokes' or is there some other way?FYI: I bought this computer from BestBuy. It was quite expensive in 2003. recently, I brought it back to have it repaired. The Geek Squad wrote up a work order and charged me a $238.00 non-refundable deposit (as the warranty was no longer in effect). They told me they'd have to send it to California to be repaired.

I just finished a complete reinstall of Windows XP. Before the re-installation, I partitioned the hard drive. I want the basic Windows XP system files and drivers on my "C" drive and then I want to accumulate data files (word processing, spreadsheets, photos, music files, etc.) on the new partition which in this case has been labeled the "G" drive. The difficulty I am having is getting getting the "Documents and Settings" to move over to the "G" drive. So that when I want to load photographs from my camera to the computer it goes for C:Documents and SettingsMy NameMy DocumentsMy Pictures. Instead I would like it to go to G:Documents and SettingsMy NameMy DocumentsMy Pictures. Using Windows Explorer I changed the file name of "My Documents" to 'Windows XP old path My Documents" and then I was going to set up a new path to the "G" drive through Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Computer Managment>Disk Management.
However I noticed that when I clicked on Start in the bottom left hand corner and it puts up that little window that "My Documents" which was listed now had the new title 'Windows XP old path My Documents' which I believe means I haven't gotten to the proper place to change the main configuration for Documents and Settings. Long way of saying how do I change the basic configuration for where Document and Settings are stored to a new location.

I have had this problem in the past, solved by rebooting. Must have been something I have done, Bill would never make a mistake like this one.The problem is that all of a sudden, my keystrokes are desrever i.e. reversed. This results in passwords being entered incorectly, a pain because you cannot see it happening. You realise what is going on when you click on forgotten password and your e-mail address appears backwards when typing it

If I right-click, I have the option to copy, but when I try to right-click and paste, the paste item is not available.. it's greyed out.Ctrl-V doesn't work either. I've just tried pasting simple text from various programs into notepad or word and it doesn't work to paste into anything.

I am running XP Pro with IE8, there is a problem when I attempt to copy and paste, I can put the pointer on where I want to start highlighting and it will not follow the movement of the mouse when attempting to highlight. You can put the pointer on a sentence and hold the mouse while sliding and it will not highlight, or it may start highlighting somewhere in the middle or maybe not at all. I have tried from bottom up and top down, it makes no difference, this is driving me crazy because I use the copy and paste feature quite often. I've never had this happen before, something appears to be conflicting; but I've been running the same programs for a long period of time and never seen this before.

I'm not sure why I am no longer able to cut an image from a website (I use Mozilla Firefox) and paste it to my email (Incredimail). I haven't done it in a while and I don't think I changed any settings. I used to be able to do it and now nothing shows up on my email when I try to paste. I also have Word and the picture doesn't come up either, just an empty box.

Re: disabled 'cut, copy, paste et al' dropdown that might be corrected via the >start>run>regedit(?) routine ;-) Have XP3 and IE8, updated as recently as this morning ;-) And, I definitely lack the necessary skills and familiarity to cope with this site ;-)) If someone has the time and talent to assist in this search I'd be most appreciative !! ;-)) So farewell for now, and I do hope I can manage to return;-))

When I highlight text and click Copy, sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't.I use Yankee Clipper which provides more versatility to the clipbboard. Sometimes when I have copied something the Paste key is greyed out but the text is saved in YC. Other times it is not saved either place. When I delete cookies and temporaries, that sometimes causes the clipboard and sometimes not, and sometimes it will work only once or twice and then quit again.
