Put drop-down lists to regular edit fields in virtually any application!

I have found a really cool utility that adds drop-down lists to regular edit fields in virtually any program installed in your computer.

Edit Buddy

Edit Buddy is a small fully configurable program that saves you time and hassle by adding drop-down lists to regular input fields in all programs throughout your system.  These lists can remember history of input and also can be pre-configured to contain certain data.  The sample dialog box above represents "Find" feature of regular Windows® Notepad.  Edit Buddy can also attach itself to all standard "Open" and "Save" dialog boxes to store the list of most recently used folders and/or files.

What Kind of Intelligence Do You Have?
Your Dominant Intelligence is Spatial Intelligence
You've got a good sense of space and how the world around you looks. You can close your eyes and "see" images. You have innate artistic talent. An eye for color and shapes, you're also a natural designer. Since you think in pictures, visual aids and demonstartions help you learn best. You would make a good navigator, sculptor, visual artist, inventor, architect, interior designer, or engineer.

Pasting plain text from clipboard

Let me share a very small and nice utility for purpose of pasting text from clipboard. When you copy any content from web page (or from word document, help file etc), window OS also keep all formats of the copied content in the clipboard and when you paste into the word or in VS.NET editor, you land up with unwanted formatting with the copied content. This utility will simply paste text from clipboard without getting all of the formatting from the original source.

Utility: PureText 2.0

 

No needs to paste copied content into the NotePad and then copy the pasted content from NotePad and again paste into the target application.

 

Simply copy any content from the web page and use hot-key to paste text into the target application (word/excel/VS.NET etc). Default hotkey for pasting plain text is Window+V which can be configured from "Options" dialog box of the PureText utility.
