External Tools: new argument to use clipboard content

[Stefan]

I want to suggest an new argument for the External Tools setup:

$(ClipBoard)

This command would take the current clipboard content
and insert that into the tools command line.

Example
Command: .toolstool.exe
Argument: $(ClipBoard) $(FilenameEx)

If i had copied ” -arg xyz” to the clipboard
and would execute this tool the command line is build like
p:athtoEmEditortoolstool.exe -arg xyz p:athtofile.ext

Hi Stefan,

I will think about this in future versions.

Thanks!

Thank you for the feedback, Yutaka!

Will this be added to the next release?

EmEditor Professional v13 beta (12.9.0) released!

$(AppDir), $(AppDrive), and $(Clipboard) parameters
were added to the External Tool Properties.

Thank you Yutaka.

Tested an it works as indented.

Any change the ${} equivalent form
will be added to the Snippets Plugin too?
