1 Introduction.

Cliptools is an NVDA add-on that allows you to manage your clipboard in various ways. A lot is planned for this add-on, and I’m always looking for suggestions!

1.1 Current features.

Currently, cliptools can do the following:

• Clear the clipboard of all it’s content
• Edit the text currently on your clipboard.

1.2 Keys

• NVDA + E: Edit the text that’s currently on your clipboard. To abort, press the cancel button. When done, press the OK button.
• NVDA + Shift + C: Clear the text currently on your clipboard. If your clipboard is already empty, you are told.

2 Configuration

• Beep when certain events are preformed: Beeps when clearing the clipboard. If it’s already cleared, the beep you hear is lower pitched.

3 Building

I hope to add SCons integration some time in the future, but for now

3.1 Building the add-on

Simply compress to a zip, and rename to .nvda-addon. You might also want to delete all the .git stuff before doing so, to keep the file size down.

3.2 Building documentation

To build the docs, you will need Pandoc installed.

Open a command prompt, and type

cd doc
cd en
pandoc -d options.yaml
