Copy/Paste behavior in SSMS

I realize that this seems odd, but I want to change the copy paste
behavior in SSMS.
Right now if you have no text selected in SSMS and do a control-c the
entire line is copied, but I want the copy to be null. Basicly I'm
automating some repetive functions and need to move only the selected
text to the clipboard. If no text is selected then want nothing.
Any ideas?
Thanks

|||Using Autohotkey - www.autohotkey.com. Its a scripting language to
automate tasks. Right now I've had problems pulling selected text
using its tools - some editors don't get along with it so I've resorted
to using the clipboard but the SSMS behavior is different that other
tools.
Thanks

|||I'm not famliar with this utility at all. Can you give us an example of the
task you'd like to automate? Maybe we can find you a way to complete your
task using SQLCMD Mode in SSMS.

|||Good Morning Paul.
There isn't one function but a bunch of little ones. Currently I'm
closing off certain characters like { [ ( " so I get {}, [], (), "" (I
work a lot in mdx). But I'd like to be able to reformat highlighted
text. Proper case words or such.
I was surprised about the copy behavior - I'd never noticed it.
Thanks

want to try it out. Much of my work is around MDX however, and the
tools are more limited. For good reason, for every person who does MDX
there must be 1000 (or more) sql programmers.
Thanks for the tip.
