Pasting message buffer to text input.

[Admiralkio]

So, after setting the clipboard to dictation, i'm unable to actually get it to paste via executing ctrl+v after i have said what i want - why can't i?

That depends... what are you doing to set the dictation buffer to the clipboard?  What you should be doing is putting in a token:

{DICTATION}

The token gets replaced by what is in the dictation buffer.  You can also test what is in the dictation buffer by putting the same {DICTATION} token in the Write To Log action.

I'm using the Set Clipboard function of VoiceAttack and using the {DICTATION} token, but that seems to not be working.

Which version of VoiceAttack are you using?

When you're dictating, do you see a "Append Dictation Buffer" message in the log?

same question here: i can't get Ctrl+V to paste to any program.

i know the dictation buffer is being appended because i used Quick Input and the {DICTATION} text gets typed out.  but i'd rather be able to use the window's Paste clipboard function.

I set {DICTATION} to clipboard, and whenever I have voiceattack press Ctrl+V, it seems to lose focus on the active window, maybe that's part of the issue?

it seems to lose focus on the active window, maybe that's part of the issue?

Check the settings for the following:

• The "Send commands to :" dropdown on VoiceAttack's main window
• The "Send commands to" checkbox and dropdown in the profile options menu
• The "Send this command to" checkbox and dropdown in the "Edit a Command" window"
• The "Perform a Window Function" action with the "Set command to target this window" checkbox checked

Are any of those enabled/not set to "Active Window"?

I search the webs to find out how this function works. after reading this, it worked the first time. Thanks to all involved.
