Clip Board Trick

[*Joru de Thagrus]

Hi people. A while back I read something about a technique that is similar to clip board. It was handy if you wanted to write certain text and you can use it over again with out having to type the whole thing over again. Does anyone know if you can use this for the sigil news paper? Can somebody please put up the link where I can find this program? Thanks people.

Copy paste from Windows clipboard to NWN 2

If you ever had to write the same thing in NWN2 over and over, then you probably have wished at some point that you could just paste from the clipboard, but NWN2 by standard does not have that feature. There is a workaround however, but you need a (free) helper program.

• download PhraseExpress and install (free and unlimited for personal use)
• make a new macro with the command {#insertclipboard} and assign whatever key combination you want to act as a "Paste" inside NWN2, like Windows-Key-V or something.

That's it, you can select and copy with Ctrl-V anything in Notepad or whatever now and then have your char say that ingame by pressing Enter for the text entry and then Windows-Key-V. PhraseExpress simulates keypresses, so no need for NWN2 to even know about the clipboard.

Thanks Mr Otyugh! :D

I don't understand this part:
make a new macro with the command {#insertclipboard} and assign whatever key combination you want to act as a "Paste" inside NWN2, like Windows-Key-V or something

I downloaded the program and made a phrase. However it is not putting what I wrote on to the news paper note pad in NWN2.

Actually getting something to paste from this (or from Skywing's Client Extension, which you can also paste into) into a UI element would require extensive scripting and most likely "listeners", unfortunately.

I see. So it is not compatible then. What a let down

I guess it's the good ol' 10 digit copy-o-tool then!
