This one isn't bound to a keypress, it runs in the background and watches for clipboard changes. It collates screen captures from a mainframe terminal, and stitches them side-by-side. I normally do a
de-dupe blank columns afterwards. You have to give it a marker (I use __END__) to know when to finish and write the text back to the clipboard.
