Just a short update. I've found a few items that might work.
AutoHotkey - Why haven't I ever used this before? I'm using DragKing and MoveInactiveWin from http://www.donationcoder.com/Software/Skrommel/index.html (You can download as exe or as AutoHotkey scripts. MoveInactiveWin fixes Alt+Drag without even activating the window. As a bonus, it doesn't try to maximize the window if you alt+drag it to one of win7's hotspots like the top of the screen. DragKing gives copy-on-select and middle-click-paste, although if something catches the middle mouse it might not paste. Wlipper is like Klipper for Windows. http://sourceforge.net/projects/wlipper/ It's not perfect but I think it will do. Alternatively you can install KDE for Windows, and use Klipper, but I found the menu to stick and not go away unless I actually clicked it and then clicked outside of it. I might try it again.

With extended desktop that spans monitors, there is no hotspot in the middle, so you can't use the mouse to halfscreen 2 programs on each. Win+Left/Right work. In fact, you can walk a window past the divider into the next monitor with that. -- Don Delp 618.616.2993 http://nesman.net/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NLUG" group.
