  I was looking for a way to copy things from the internet or anywhere with just one click for a long time and with this program I have succeeded.
  
  
  1. Snippet Name: Copy to txt
  {&SetKeyDelay:20}^c{&100}{+}
  
  Where is the plus sign is the one used to activate the next application. (You can use the key you want)
  
  
  2 New 
  Type: Application
  Name: cmd
  Application:cmd
  
  Adv. Settings, Parameters:
  /c powershell -Command "$clipContent = Get-Clipboard; $clipContent += \"`r`n\"; Add-Content -Path 'D:\IMPORTANTE.txt' -Value $clipContent -Encoding utf8"
  
  Options
  - hide this favorite
  - add key shortcut  +
  
  
  Each thing that is indicated by right-clicking and accessing the application, everything will be copied to the path that is given. (+)

  Hi ifrainabel,
  
  Interesting use of snippets. A few comments or suggestions:
  
  1) For those following these steps, make sure you set "Macro mode" in snippet's advanced settings.
  
  2) Instead of setting a variable to hold the clipboard content, you could use the QAP placeholder "{Clipboard}". Parameter would be:
  
  /c powershell -Command Add-Content -Path 'C:\IMPORTANTE.txt' -Value \"{Clipboard}`r`n\" -Encoding utf8"
  
  3) Instead of calling the 2nd favorite with a hotkey, it would be simpler to place your two favorites in a group. Items in a group are executed sequentially.
  
  
  
  In the snippet, you would remove "{&100}{+}". In fact, entering only "^c" would work. And there would be no need to set the 2nd favorite hidden.
  
  My goal here was not to lecture you but only to introduce you to other possibilities of QAP. You tip is great :-)
  
  Jean
