Subject: Windows hotkeys in Ruby

Hi,
as a tutorial to Ruby learning, I'm trying to create a clone of a
Windows program, RndSig, which allows, from the stroke of a "global
hotkey" (I don't know if this expression is fully exact), to take the
content of current text editor in order to choose from it the most
accurate signature.
The signature selection has already been done.
But, now, I want to be able to execute the active part of the script
(launching can occur at session start) from a hotkey, and allow it to
copy the content of the current text area.
Is it possible using Ruby ? I think it will imply some use of the
WIN32API "module" (is it the right word ?), but how ...
From the initial program, the content of the text area was copied to
the clipboard, and then used in the program (don't know if it can be
of any help). And, were you willing to test it, it is available at
http://www.lacave.net/~fred/divers/rndsig.html
Thanks
