/*
expected behavior:
1. pressed ONCE
2. cut text
3. store cut text into variable sectionName

actual behavior:
1. pressed TWICE (minimum) before variable reflects changes correctly

working example:
playing a game in full screen. instead of alt+tabbing to the desktop, editing the values in the script, saving and reloading, alt+tabbing back to the game and waiting for it to render,
you can type the section of the ini you want and have the information correctly displayed via a tooltip

1st part of the example:
1. in the game and full screened
2. alt+tab out of the game to the desktop
3. navigate to the script location
4. edit the script values
5. save and reload the script
6. alt+tab back into the game
7. wait for the game to render

2nd part of the example:
1. type corresponding section of the ini file. for instance, since we are in 'a.ini', type: aa
2. highlight the text
3. use keyboard shortcut to cut the text. this puts it into the clipboard which then gets stored into a variable we use to read and write to the ini
4. read the correct and updated information via a tooltip

1a. type: ab
1b. type: ac
etc
whichever section is typed and cut should be reflected in the tooltip, no matter which file is selected at the beginning of the script
