Would it be possible to write macro to do this?
That is copy each line of some highlighted text in order to the pinned items up to a max of 10 items.
For example consider if the text below
PinnedItem11111
PinnedItem22222
PinnedItem33333
PinnedItem44444
PinnedItem55555
If the text above is highlighted and macro started then the first 5 pinned items would be assigned in order.
Remaining items (6-10) would ideally be set to blank.
Stupendous software!
To clarify, do you want it to clear all of your Local Pinned Items, or do you have more than 10 local pinned, and you only want the script to replace the top 10 items, and leave everything else alone?

Hi Kieth
I assumed that there are only 10 pinned slots available.
I would like all pinned items cleared
Thank you
Ok, great! I've added this to the repository: "Copy Selected Text to Local Pinned Items (clears existing Pinned Items)"
Hope that helps!

Wonderful help really appreciate it...
If you copy the text with Ctrl + C first, then press the hotkey, does it work?

Sorry again for delay yes indeed if the text is copied to clipbaord first then it works.
One thing each entry accept for the last entry has a carriage retuurn added to the pinned clipboard item.
It would be great if that CR would be gotten rid of?
Feel very forward making these requests...and I dont assume they will just be done because I ask.
Huge productivity shift for me with this software...
If you disable the "Auto-paste on clipboard selection" on the Clipboard Manager tab and manually paste using Ctrl+V does this help with the carriage return issue?

Unable to reproduce at the moment.
Not sure what you mean by hitting Ctrl-v.
I know what that does but not sure I guess the context of when I might do that.

If I work out how to reproduce it will post a video for you....
Sorry for the delay! I've made a change to the script that should fix this issue. Could you try re-downloading it from the repository?

Keith - ClipboardFusion is a gift that keeps on giving.
I dont think it is hard to understand how this tool and this macro improves my productivity. Am continually changing contexts at work and now I can switch and use keystrokes with an efficiency I could only dream of a few years ago.
It has been massive.
Thank you. Wonderful!
Thanks for the kind words, glad to hear it!

Hi CBF
After several years of happy use I am wondering if an enhancement is possible.
This works perfectly accept if I have highlighted and copied a column of cells in excel. Would it be possible to enhance the script so that it can do this?
If I paste the said cells to notepad then invoke the script it works fine.
Much appreciate any help with this wonderful macro
When you copy the cells from Excel, do they show up in the ClipboardFusion History list? Excel is ignored by default. You can remove it from the ignore list on the Settings > Ignore Programs tab, but Excel does really wonky stuff with the clipboard, which is why we ignore it by default, so it you may run into issues with it.
