Copy to System

[Knecht, David]

Is there a way to make Copy to System the default for command-C (Mac) instead of copy to the internal clipboard?    Dave

Hi Dave,

in principle, yes; you can override the ImageJ shortcuts via an installed macro.
Have a macro in your StartupMacros

  macro 'Copy Shortcut [c]' {
    run("Copy to System");
  }

The downside: pasting an ImageJ image or part thereof into another ImageJ image won't work with the shortcut any more.

Hi Micheal- Thanks for the macro.  I did not realize that if it copied to the system it would work internally as well.  I guess I could always do New from System Clipboard for an internal copy and then paste.  I do that a whole lot less frequently than I copy and paste to the system.  Why is the ImageJ clipboard segregated?  Why not have a command or option key command that runs that instead  command V copy to internal?  I tried the shortcuts but they don't seem to recognize command or control keys.  Dave

We find that the Copy to System command works for a while and then stops working until we logout/login the system.  We're using Windows-- same behavior using old XP through new 64 bit 7.  Does anyone know an ImageJ or Windows trick to make Copy to System work again?

Thanks!
