File to caret

Drop a file into writable icons

This page up to date on: 13 Jan 2025

!FileCaret is a mini application for RISC OS < 5.2 which loads onto the iconbar. Any file you drop on it is assumed to be text and will be sent to the current caret position. It is very useful where the clipboard doesn't work, e.g., for users of Prophet who wish to import a single address. (For Prophet's multi-line writeable icons, ensure line endings are CR/LF beforehand). FileCaret is also able to write text to a Fresco web page text field (where the Clipboard does not work).

Users of RISC OS 5.2 and above (which give the input focus to filer windows) need to use Typer by Martin Bazely. Drag a text file to its iconbar icon and then click it once the input focus is where you want it.
