Hello, Is there a(n easy) way to use text data from the Clipboard on MacOS? I couldn't find anything about it. Thanks in advance.

I don't know MaxGUI at all but I'll see if I can use this... Thanks a lot! Is it possible to use it to copy>paste text from any external app?

The clipboard is handled by the OS and just accessed from any app that requests it. So copy anywhere, paste anywhere (as long as the content types match... hard to paste text into a movie without something in the middle...)

OK thanks. Now all I have to do is to learn how to use that. (EDIT : it's working very good)

In windows, there are clipBoard APIs so that a program can MONITOR when there is a change to the clipBoard. Is this true for MAX and LINUX ? Thanks...vmars316
