Hello, I have a problem that I've been trying for hours and I just can't get anywhere. Surely it is quite simple in principle with QAP:

I want to copy the name of a large file (without extension) and use it to create a text file of this name with the extension ".txt". For this I make myself a snippet and enter the functions {F2}{^C}{Return}.
But unfortunately, the file name already marked after entering F2 is not copied to the clipboard. What am I doing wrong?

After that I would still create a new file with Shift-F4 {+F4}, insert it with CTRL-V {^V}, jump to the end {End} and enter ".txt". Then finish with {Return}.

Thanks for the help!

I solved the problem with the following text:
{F2}^c{Enter}+{F4}^v.txt{Enter}

Hi Yellowstone,

I'm glad that you found the solution.

Sorry that I have not seen it before. I'll move your post to the "Support" section.
