--So here I am browsing halfbakery (woohoo it's back! Well done!!) and I've an urge to copy and paste a few URLs to a table. I've been using tin in unix shell to do email chores and it hits me: why can't my browser understand that there's really only one reason why someone would hilight text; i.e. to
copy it! So let's have a mod for browsers (using IE at the moment) that does this very simple thing. Hilight, alt-tab to another window, and paste to that application via right-click!

a) no idea what putty is ('cept the stuff you fill in nail holes with or the silly stuff) |
|
| |
b) I constantly save my place with highlighting. On a long page, if I need to come back later I highlight the sentence I'm on. I'd hate to clear something important from my clipboard so easily. |

Silly Putty that you could press onto the screen and then it comes off with a mirror image of the screen text written on it would be cool. (Then you could press it onto paper for and it's like a printer.) |

BTW, what are we talking about? |
|

Putty is also a pun on the abbreviation "TTY" (for "teletype") which was commonly used to refer to terminals. |

Would save one keystroke per operation. |

A keyboard macro (I don't use any such software so can't recommend any) that issued a ctrl+c then an alt+tab from a single key sequence ought to do a fair enough job of emulating what you want. |
