Is there any way to configure Eclipse so that clicking on a variable automatically copies the variable to the clipboard? (and ideally should also work with function names)

E.g. if I click like this:

enter image description here

The clipboard should then contain patients_directories.

  • This would make "paste to replace" impossible. – nitind Jul 10 '14 at 18:43
  • @nitind Not necessarily if you maintain a clipboard history. But yes good to keep in mind, makes it harder. – Franck Dernoncourt Jul 10 '14 at 18:48
  • I don't think there is such a feature, but what's the point to this? – nitind Jul 10 '14 at 19:00
  • @nitind Minimizing keyboard use. I am trying to code as hands-free as possible (moving cursor + clicking is hands-free as I use a hands-free mouse, namely SmartNAV). – Franck Dernoncourt Jul 10 '14 at 20:01
  • Hmm same question is asked [here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7452489/eclipse-selection-autocopy-to-clipboard) – Chandrayya G K Jul 11 '14 at 05:43
  • @ChandrayyaGK Thanks for the link but different question (though I also had this one in mind as back up, as I use this in Chrome): the guy is asking copy selection, while I'm asking copy where you click, without even selecting. – Franck Dernoncourt Jul 11 '14 at 13:48
