📋 Clipboard Slots (Universal Copy/Paste)

⚙️ Installation

These are a userScript (userScript.js) and a userStyle (aa.user.styl) that can work together or independently.

• userScript.js: Use with Tampermonkey
• aa.user.styl: Use with Stylus

1. Install the Browser Extensions

• Install Tampermonkey.
• Install Stylus.

2. Add the Scripts

• Install the userScript.js via GreasyFork
• Install the Stylus Theme via Stylus

✅ Make sure your Control Room language is set to English for selector compatibility.

---

🚀 Usage

1. Open Automation Anywhere.
2. Press Alt + P to open the palette.
3. Start typing a command or help to see options.
4. Hit Enter to execute.
5. Optionally, right-click Tampermonkey → choose a clipboard slot to copy or paste.

🧠 Why are there two files?

This project is split into:

• A userScript that runs JavaScript features via Tampermonkey.
• A userStyle that changes CSS and UI styles via Stylus.

Keeping them separate makes installation modular and leverages the best tool for each job without bloating a single script.
