Both the Shortcut key and macro approaches don't quite give what I need. I intend a persistent process maintaining state (including all copy-buffer contents) continuously. I could have a shortcut-launched program read in and write out the data at every invocation, but that would be a very resource-intensive way to do it.
For example, there is a free post-it note program (not in perl, unfortunately for me) that catches Alt-Shift-N to create a new post-it note; it runs as a persistent process and catches Alt-Shift-N no matter what program has the focus. Isn't it possible to do something like that in Perl? Even the name for this kind of operation in Windows would be useful. Thanks, gb __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
