Can you recommend a free clip manager that has hotkey support?

I do tons of email responses outside of Gmail and I'd love to have a tool that will free me from having to copy and paste from tons of files.

I'd love to just copy and paste once into the manager and associate a hotkey to each paste. When I get different types of email, I can respond by selecting the right hotkey.

Does this miraculous productivity boosting software exist in a free form?

Thanks in advance

Help a brotha out

Are you a GFY Genius? YES (my mother says so)
A productivity Genius? YES (my friends says so)

but i dont understand what you are trying to do , what is free clip manager ? (is it clipboard manager? copy many items and paste single item from list)

if you have to reply to many emails with fixed reply, lets say choose from 6 replies. depending on the body of the email .

something like that ?

mmm, using mail templates? mmm, mac has some cool clipboard managers too, not sure if they fit exactly with your needs, it's soooo specific what you need

That is probably trivial using a bash script in a LINUX terminal I would just assign short keyword values to responses.

For a GUI in Windows or Mac, free no less, good fucking luck.

QuickTextPaste does exactly that

Only if you know how to use a bash script on a LINUX console/terminal ssh ...

Keep in mind how many linux console commands exist for windows so it might possible to make it work.
Check this site: Cygwin

That's not really my problem is it.
This should be done on a server, written to a template, with sendmail to respond to 'tons'.
I just happen to have a few scripts that will echo the right reply to a key word or phrase input when combined with a few tweaks to them.

I am not going to try to put a square peg in a round hole, for free no less ...

Thank you, Kind Sir!:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

Actually, i had program which was doing exactly what you asking back then when i was using windows. Tho unable to remember what was name, i only know it had "hotkeys" in name. But it was quite powerful, as you could put various kind of operations to execute on hotkeys, basically there was no limitation.

Like I say, it's a trivial program to write -- I just don't do Windows now for 7 years.

I just reformat line endings $unix2dos and use open source file formats that all operating systems to be able read for what goes out externally.

Personally, I think it is easier to use a 2-5 letter keyword rather than a random key--easier to remember and associate the word with the reply.

That is actually a great idea. If it isn't being done you should look into getting it made for yourself and offering it as a free tool. I bet you could get quite a bit of people using it.

Maybe, you could monetize the idea and make it Adware. Remove all ads by buying the full version app for $3.99 :)
