ok, i just did a search on hotkeys so i wouldn't have to do this but.. well.. heck i dunno, i'm slow or something ;p
at any rate..
here's what i wanna do: i want to asign a hotkey to copy the contents of a text field onto the clipboard and paste it wherever the cursor is (in a different app, of course)
could someone tell me how to do that? i really hate asking but i've drove myself to the point of insanity trying to figure it put =( [gimme a quick example with just one text field and one shortcut key, i think i can figure it out from there, thanks]

p.s.
if you have nothing better to do, look at my lil ubb smiley collection ( http://thedam.com/cwm/smile ), too bad images are turned off here =P
