CopyToClipboard
Kriss
share it with the world.
I wanted a way to copy data stored in a tiddler, to the clipboard.
(this is for Firefox; IE is much simpler).
First create a tiddler called CopyToClipboard. This one contains:
<html><a href="javascript:;" onclick="
netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege('UniversalXPConnect');
var id='@mozilla.org/widget/clipboardhelper;1';
var
clip=Components.classes[id].getService(Components.interfaces.nsIClipboardHelper);
clip.copyString('$1');
return false;"> (c) </a></html>
Now, you can copy any string [[value]] to the clipboard by clicking
the '(c)'
when you add <<tiddler CopyToClipboard with:[["+value+"]] >> to a
tiddler.
I use the DataTiddlerPlugin for example to store passwords and serials
and the like.
In the code of the DataTiddlerPlugin-tiddler search for the part where
it defines the display of the datatable.
Search for config.macros.showData.renderDataAsTable
There replaced the line starting with text+= with this one:
text += "| "+i+"|"+value+" <<tiddler CopyToClipboard with:[["+value
+"]] >"+"> |\n";
The <<showdata>> macro will now display a '(c)' for every line of
data.

With any browser (in fact any application) under Windows, select the hyperlink and press Ctrl-C.
How it actually renders in your target location when you paste it (Ctrl-V) will depend on how that application handles URLs.
If I'm misunderstanding your question, please clarify with more specifics about your context.

I know ctrl c ctrl v. I have need of being able to click on a link and have a hyperlink copy to the clipboard so it can be pasted. The action of selecting it in tiddlywiki is just not clean. Right now I have to select it and copy it and then paste it into Word and then reselect it and copy it again or I end up with a bunch of garbage. I use IE7.

right-click-->copy shortcut

Right click copy only copies the path and not the pretty link. I still can't get the monarch to assign in the clipboard without first coping to word. When you select and copy from tiddlywiki it brings with it some unwanted characters, line feeds and formatting.

full url, including the http:// ... )
as for a pretty-link (where you mask the url by displaying some
other text, right? [[text|url]] ) you would copy the entire "text|
url" combination.
as far as I know, you can only copy one string to the clipboard. so
if you want to copy "text" as well as "url" (as two separate values)
this is not going to work. Or you will need to combine both in a
single string.

Just so you know, right click and copy only copies the path, not the pretty link. I am still working on this. I know it is possible.
