Hi all,

i like to copy an whole row of my exploration text-datafile which is stored in Notepad++ inside my Vive and on second Monitor.
 there are over 50 rows.(StarSystems)

then  paste that row into the galaxy-map search tab.

additional after that :  go one row down / up in the datafile.

I know that ctrl-c / ctrl-v is copying, but dunno how to do that with an whole row...  -.-

 i am running Elite Dangerous, via HTC Vive, VoiceAttack, TM Warthog,

 OpenVRDesktopDisplayPortal-v1.0.6  https://github.com/Hotrian/OpenVRDesktopDisplayPortal/releases
and  Virtual Button Box Software https://github.com/BManx2000/VirtualButtonBox/wiki 

i want to this same as described here:https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/6foccy/road_to_riches_improved/dj38d2v

many thanks, cheers  :)

pressing shift+down arrow will high-lite a whole row for you to copy and the up/down arrows will traverse the file up and down...is that what you were after?

you can also use right arrow to traverse across and the hit shift+end to high-lite to the end of the row

these are all std keyboard shortcuts that VA can emulate for you

You see, TheThingIs, eventually you'll be allright.

thanks for fast response!

nice, that should work.

but, how can i switch between those 2 programs, 1. elite dangerous, and second is the notepad++ inside the voiceattack profile?

my cursor needs to be then in the notepad++ for copying, and then swap back into the elite dangerous?

when you create a command, there is an option on it to choose where to send the command to so you just choose the correct window

Awesome, that works, until here..

How can i get back then into the CLIENT App (Elite Dangerous), after copying?

Cause its still in the Notepad++

I am going to have to work out what I did in VA to work with Autohotkey to do exactly this....

I lost the custom VA commands when my PC reset itself a while back

in the meantime i´ve fiddled out that below as an dirty workaround until we can get this how it should be:

(yes, i am using EDDI and HCS Astra)

Galaxy Map opens up with that, thats also perfect, because there the paste should go!

Looks like Road to Riches data.
I have been trying to get in touch with a number of road to riches web sites, so that I can create a navigation Voice Attack using their data. So far not one responded.

If I could get to the data in a delimited format, then I could actually create a whole voice attack script to go from one system to another, and tell you what to look at. 

I do not want to recreate the road to riches web sites to grab the data though.
