Alt Tab & Paste about slimtrade HOT 6 CLOSED

This feature exists, it just uses a hotkey. Set a hotkey in the options, copy a whisper, then press the hotkey to alt tab into POE and paste the message.

Some people have suggested making this completely automated. While I would like to do this, it is quite a bit more complicated and prone to error, so I used the hotkey to make sure the feature was ready for Delirium launch. I would like to revisit this later on.

The technical reason is that Java doesn't allow you to listen for when the contents of the clipboard change directly, but instead when the DataFlavor of the clipboard changes. This means it requires a lot of extra code, and any bugs with this code may interfere with the clipboard's normal functionality. Using a hotkey avoids having to use this listening system all together.

Okay, thank you for the quick reply. Perhaps I will visit SlimTrade in the future. Really good app regardless.

I'll comment and close this issue once the new system is added so that people can subscribe to it if they want to know when the change is made. Edited the original post with a concise response.

Could it be set up like in POE-Trades-Companion, wherein you Ctrl-click the whisper button and the rest happens automatically?

Since ctrl + click is used in game to transfer items I'd need to add logic to differentiate transferring items and quick pasting trades, which would most likely rely on the clipboard listener. So in theory yes, but not until the new system is added.

Added fully automated quick pasting in v0.2.5. The option still exists to use a hotkey.
