I guess I'm just not much of a connoisseur. I had a Radio
Shack casette deck on which I happily played Jethro Tull
until my parents started yelling.

Today I download old movies with the likes of Gary Cooper
or Cary Grant, in 640x480, and stream them to a 32" 720p
TV. They look great to me. Though I think the library DVD
versions probably render the B/W films better. With a good
movie I just forget to notice.

Using alt-space + E to activate the Window edit menu = clever

(I wrote an Autohotkey script that loads on startup to do the CTRL-V function on the command line when
called)

Occasionally, i have one fail on me.
I get something akin to "ERROR - unsupported URL, yada-yada"
I have a feeling that the owner does a redirect or re-creation (of the URL) that YTL-DP can't handle
(but that is just conjecture on my part). It is often on a Paid Access file.

I must look into this 3dyd.....

Ctrl-V for paste doesn't work in the command window under 7, so I'd got
used to using the above method. (The Alt-Space menu has been there since
at least Windows 3.1, but few know about it these days!) I was
continuing to use it under W10 (where it still works) on someone else's
machine, though discovered that ^V _does_ work in the command window
under 10.

It does with

I don't know what exactly you are doing, but if it's about pasting in
a Command Prompt window, that's also possible with a right-click. I.e.
copy some text from somewhere and paste it with a right-click.

For that to work, you have to set 'QuickEdit Mode' in the Properties
of the Command Prompt window (and make it stick).

Windows 10 has indeed a setting to enable Ctrl+Shift+V (note Shift)
pasting, but right-click pasting has been there since Vista and perhaps
XP.

N.B. Copying in QuickEdit Mode works by highlighting (I use the
'mouse' for that) and then pressing the 'enter' key.

I had that mode set, and sure enough, right-click does work! I'll try to
remember that. Though may try the autohotkey method too, as if I'm using
the keyboard anyway, I don't want to switch to the "mouse".

Yes. I do use that sometimes, but find it very non-intuitive!

Thanks. I downloaded and ran it, and copied the script from your earlier
post into a .ahk in my Startup folder. (Rather than restart, )I just
clicked on it, and got

It looks like the script you are trying to run requires
AutoHotkey v1, which is not installed.
If the version has been misidentified, please add a #Requires
directive to your script file.

Script: cntrlv_cmd.ahk
Rule: v1-dir v1-hk v1-send

which is all Greek to me.

Yes, depending on the situation, I use the keyboard or keyboard+mouse.

For example both my newsreader (tin) and editor (vim) are keyboard
driven, so when reading/posting news, I mostly use the keyboard, not the
mouse. The only mousing is for selecting/'highlighting' some text, but
even that can often be done with the keyboard.

It's more of a cyrillic language to me. I must have lucked out and gotten the right software mix so
that it worked.

I suppose you have rebooted so that it is now running........

My task manager shows AutoHotKey.exe running

Also, 3dyd worked out of the box. I did some informal testing this morning and believe I will stick
with ytl-dp for the most part.

Mine doesn't, presumably because of the above error (I'm assuming if the

Just trying again - it failed with a twitter page, but this time
succeeded with a YouTube one! Didn't put it where I wanted, and I can't
see anywhere to set that (only where to put temporary files). It has
created a 17M file whereas last time (presumably I used yt-dlp) was an
11M file (from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnLnwWjrIyk&t=23s); the
audio and video resolutions are the same, so I can't tell what I'm
getting for the extra 6M. I think I too will stick with y, but useful to
know 3 does work sometimes: I'll keep it to try when y doesn't. Or maybe
for very big files, as I think y may operate fewer streams at once.

At startup i load 2 .ahk files, but the native taskmngr application shows two instances of
autohotkey.exe running as processes -- not the scripts. (I also use the startup folder.)
Autohotkey.exe is where it was originally installed in C:\PROGRAM FILES

I also had size differences on youtube downloads between 3dyd and yt-dlp

"Accessing pornographic content or such content that infringes any right in any other way is forbidden.
In case a third party right is already violated by downloading the content, the user bears complete
responsibility for this as he started the processing of the data in question."

must have a site blacklist in the .exe because it just refused a url for xhamster.com and still having
said url on the clipboard, i stuck it into yt-dlp which happily began downloading it until i canceled
with ctrl-c. 3dyd said: "no video found on xhamster.com" or something similar.

(Yes, it seemed the obvious place for it.) I guess if it had run without
the error, I _would_ have AHK.exe as a running process. I guess I could
go back to the AHK website and get version 1, but I think I'll just
stick with alt-space E P - I do that by muscle memory now.

Mine's in C:\Program Files\AutoHotkey\v2\AutoHotkey.exe - where I
presume it installed itself.

Interesting!

I've left 3dyd installed as a reserve downloader.

We draw your attention to clause 8 therein!

Interesting! [That will cause some people to go to the .exe and examine
it for a list of interesting sites! (-: (Though it's probably encoded.)]

nice term for what I call "instilled instinct" and I most often apply that term to driving: braking or
obstacle avoidance. That is, a description of something that bypasses conscious thought and decision
making and simply "happens" when presented with the stimulus.

Interesting. It works just as you said. I was previously unaware of that.

cmd-window --> properties --> Options -->
check box next to "Quikedit Mode"

Yes, and a lot of driving with a manual gearbox (transmission) too. I
didn't invent the term: it's one I've seen a lot in the context of
computer stuff, for things that one has done for a long time. Walking is
another one (if you actually try to describe walking, you'll fall over).
