Cliptboard Content Editor

Author: Fauzan January

Read in Indonesian

This NVDA add-on lets you edit the current clipboard text in a simple dialog before pasting it elsewhere. It also provides quick actions to show information, find text, and replace text.

What's New?

• Added Save As feature (Ctrl+Shift+S) to the editor, allowing content to be saved as .txt or other file types.
• Added a setting to enable or disable addon sounds.
• Added comprehensive sound feedback to Information, Restore Backup, and Replace All features for consistent audio cues.
• Fixed the "Read in [Language]" links in the documentation to correctly open the HTML files instead of showing file not found errors or opening raw source files.
• The editor buttons are now strictly ordered for better navigation: Information (Alt+I) -> Find -> Replace -> Save -> Save As -> Cancel.

Features

• Edit the current clipboard text in a multiline editor.
• Find text with a dedicated Find dialog.
• Replace text within the editor.
• Show information (characters, words, lines) about clipboard text.
• Save clipboard content to a file.
• Optional clipboard backup (protect mode) with restore.
• Customizable sound settings.
• Global shortcuts for Information.

How to use

1. Press NVDA+E to open the editor.
2. Edit the text as needed.
3. Use the buttons or shortcuts for Information, Find, Replace, Save (Ctrl+S), or Cancel (Esc).
4. Press Save (Ctrl+S) to update the clipboard with the edited content.

Shortcuts

Global shortcuts (work anywhere in NVDA):

• NVDA+E - Open the clipboard editor.

If the clipboard is empty, Information will announce "clipboard is empty".

Protect mode (clipboard backup)

When protect mode is enabled, the add-on stores a history of clipboard content before saving. You can restore the previous clipboard content using NVDA+Z. The number of saved backups is controlled by "Number of backup levels".
