Is there any way to sign a message with an address using electrum? I want to quit using the satoshi client completely.

Is there a way to copy the signed message to the clipboard fast? It's annoying to select it.

Not that I know of, as of the current release, but I could provide a quick/unofficial patch that automatically copies the signed message to the clipboard, if you're interested.

That would be great!

Here you go! This is a simple mod of the wallet.py file that automatically copies signatures to the clipboard.

To use it, make sure you are running Windows build 1.01e of Electrum,

go to this directory: %AppData%\Electrum_SysFiles\1.01-e\C_\ElectrumPY\lib
and replace the original wallet.py file in there with the one below:

(for your info, the only source code changes are lines 477-478 and importing the Qt library - feel free to manually review the file if you're familiar with Python)

Just found a real easy way to do this. You can append "| clip" to a command and windows 7/vista will copy the output to clipboard.

I just used autohotkey to enter "electrum signmessage bitcoinaddress", paste the message, and then autohotkey "| clip" and the signed message is copied to clipboard.
