Delete the first letter?

[Itman]

Is it possible to configure AHK and to assign a hotkey for a special paste? So that the first letter of the copied text will be deleted? I work with Russian and Hebrew texts.
Thank you.

I've never worked with Hebrew or Russian text, but I tested the following script in English and it works fine:

Code: Select all

!^v::
If (Clipboard<>"")
{
  Clipboard:=SubStr(Clipboard,2)
  SendInput ^v
}
Return

I made the hotkey for the special paste Alt+Ctrl+v, but make it whatever you want. Regards, Joe

Hi, thank you for the answer. It does not work for me, also in English not.

It works perfectly here. Please post the exact script that you're using.

What version of AHK do you have? What version of Windows?

I changed it to a different hotkey and now it works. Thank you for that!

You're welcome. I'm glad to hear that it works now. Regards, Joe
