Hi everyone,

Here's the stack to fix part of the problems with the control-c command (or
Control for PCs) that do not working at times. Seems to work much better
already once installed - but I feel biased saying that ;)

The good news is that the plug in works nicely and does it all automatically
without any intervention. The control commands supported are the select all,
all clipboard commands incl. undo and a smart save stack command because
it's good to have handy. 

It's packaged as a nice, compact, fruity tasting and handy toolbar you can
move anywhere to copy paste stuff around with a single click. Part of my
NitrousRack PRO Editor tools coming sometime in the near future. Sorry for
the lame icons, I'll try to find something better or more OS neutral soon.

If you have already a menubar in your stack, the commands do not get
intercepted despite this stack's script being in the frontscript (it
intercepts the commandkeydown). 

This is built in the IDE. I dont know if it is a good thing or bad. However
it prevents the HotKeyN2O from interfering with the topstack's built-in edit
or save commands. So I guess it is good. If you create a default menubar in
your stack with empty clipboard handling scripts (and with the hotkey c
already defined in the menu), the command-c will not work.

When the menu dont work you can still click on the handy toolbar and avoid a
long trip to the menu bar. 

Many more possibilities like handling other menu commands, adding missing
commands, do macros, support the F1-F4 clipboard keys, etc... All this
coming if you ask for it. 

This stack is freeware and open source.

It doesn't work to copy controls via the plug-in buttons yet, only text
field . Im working on it! I just discovered the focusedobject command which
is quite handy but creates lots of ifs and thens and else wares...

Enjoy!
