My Notepad Style Project

[H Baric]

Hi Eric, thanks for your help, it works perfectly :)

Well, this is what I ended up using (in the stack script)
Can you see if there is any problem writing it like this?
I'm still VERY new to scripting :D:

on commandKeyDown pKey

   if pKey = "v" then

      if the clipboard is "text" then

      put the clipboardData[text] into field "Edit"

      end if

   else pass commandKeyDown

end commandKeyDown


Yes, and er now to work out how to  handle the replacing etc. Ack. So many 
things to think about isn't there hehe... :D

Bonjour Heather,

Welcome to the list :-)

First you have to check the clipboard contents to accept text only:
if the clipboard is "text" then...
Then use the clipboardData["text"] that is unformatted text:
put the clipboardData["text"] into fld < Edit field>

To handle the paste shortcut:

on commandKeyDown pKey
   if pKey = "v" then...
   else pass commandKeyDown
end commandKeyDown

You can use the pasteKey message also but it will work in a
standalone only.
Last but not least, you'll have to struggle with the selectedChunk to
paste at the right place or replace some selected text.
Good luck :-)
