How to paste shortcut to file by keystroke or command?

[MIRKOSOFT]

Hi!

I have new mouse with more buttons.
In mode 1 I added to two buttons functions Copy and Paste.
I want to use else one button to Paste shortcut to file.
This function is in Explorer and I don’t know keystroke, if any has…

Is it possible to do by command or any keystroke?

Thank you for all.

Key stroke for paste
[ICODE]Ctrl+v[/ICODE]
Key stroke for copy
[ICODE]Ctrl+c[/ICODE]

No, this is normal, everybody knows these keystrokes Ctrl XCV…
In File Explorer is button to Paste Shortcut (maybe incorrect translation from Slovak language9.
Working this:
Clipboard: C:\Program\test.exe
normal paste copies test.exe to new location
paste shortcut created link to test.exe in new location like: test.lnk
Is it now understandable?

You can press
[ICODE]Ctrl + Shift[/ICODE]
to create a shortcut while dragging. That will create an .Ink file. Is this what you want? If not you can do
[ICODE]Shift + F10[/ICODE]
and that’ll pull up the right-click menu and you can manually click “Create Shortcut”

No, for correction:
Each file in clipboard has also path where is stored.
I need to create command or any keystroke (without drag&drop) to paste for this threa - link to file.
Why command ?
I’m using for remapping keyboard and mouse AHK scripting, I need to create anything like this:

Of course drag&drop with holding left Alt creates lnk.
I need it without drag&drop.

I want to use else one button to Paste shortcut to file.

Why not Right click on the file and select Create Shortcut?

[MIRKOSOFT]

Simply why not…
I want to paste shortcut to other location than location of file…
In Windows 10 file Explorer is button for this here:

And it looks it has no keystroke.
If you can help how to performthat action I’ll be happy.

Hi,
For something like that, that will require scripting. That way, it does what YOU want. There is no keyboard command to paste a shortcut without triggering a D&D (Drag & Drop) or requiring another click. That requires scripting.

OK, I try to create AHK script and if it will be successful I post it here and share with AHK community

Here’s script which created GEV in AHK community:

clipboard := clipboard  ; convert clipboard to plain text (= copy the path of the copied file)
Sleep, 300
SplitPath, clipboard,,,, name_no_ext
IfWinActive, ahk_class Progman   ; desktop
    FileCreateShortcut, %clipboard%, %A_Desktop%\%name_no_ext%.lnk
else
IfWinActive, ahk_class CabinetWClass   ; explorer
{
    ; get current explorer path:
    for window in ComObjCreate("Shell.Application").Windows
    try Fullpath := % window.Document.Folder.Self.Path
        FileCreateShortcut, %clipboard%, %Fullpath%\%name_no_ext%.lnk
}

I mean can help anybody in this forum too. It’s simple Paste shortcut script.
Thank you all for everything.
