/clipboard - mIRC Discussion Forums

Not really much of an idea, but an ability to clear the clipboard contents via /clipboard, e.g. /clipboard -d

You can already do this.

/clipboard

This is really a matter of using your head btw. What you do is put $null in the clipboard without appending it, so what does this mean? It results in making the clipboard hold "nothing", which is the same as clearing the clipboard.

That doesn't fully delete it though, if you go into 'clipbrd' you'll be able to click the 'X' button prompting you to delete.

The only, very minor, difference is that after /clipboard, the Paste item in the rightclick menu (eg in an editbox) is still enabled, so technically the /clipboard doesn't seem to be empty, it just contains a zero-length string. Not sure if it's worth changing that.

So? You asked a way to clear the contents of the clipboard, by using /clipboard they are cleared. Who cares if it still shows an X, does it matter for anything?

For those people who think it's so dreadful that it still shows that Paste option enabled, they can use this until Khaled adds it:

Code:

alias clearcb {
  var %t
  .comopen ie.doc htmlfile
  %t = $com(ie.doc,parentwindow,2,dispatch* ie.win)
  %t = $com(ie.win,clipboarddata,2,dispatch* ie.cb)
  %t = $com(ie.cb,cleardata,1)
  :error
  tokenize 32 ie.doc ie.win ie.cb
  scon -r if ($com( $* )) .comclose $*
}

From versions.txt for 6.17:

139.Calling /clipboard with no text now empties the clipboard instead
of assigning it an empty string.
