You can also use Control+Option to perform a Paste and also Remove the clip from the list. ▶ Modifiers: Use Control to copy instead of paste, Option to add the item to the Saved Clips list, Shift+Control to paste as plain text, and Shift+Option to remove an item from the list. To paste an item from the list, make sure you are actively entering text into an app and the text cursor is at the position you want. Text that apps label as passwords won’t be added to the list. Only plain text and rich text will be added to the list. To add an item to the list, just copy it as normal, usually with Edit, Copy or Command+C in apps you are using.

Because I'm always nervous that ClipMenu will break, I hope this review will motivate Cop圜lip developers to step up and 'copy' the versatility of ClipMenu because a capable clipboard manager is an essential operating feature for me (and I think anyone that bothers to use it a while will surely then be spoiled).A No-Nonsense Guide To How To Use ClipToolsĬlipTools is a Menu Bar app that will appear on the right side of your Menu Bar as a little toolbox icon. ![]() ![]() Finally, that amazing little app hasn't been updated since 2014 but still works flawlessly up thru at least Catalina (I haven't upgraded to Big Sur but expect it will continue working well). ![]() I have Copy Clip and you don't! Me stupid? What took YOU so long to finally get here?Ĭop圜lip functions fine as a basic clipboard manager BUT it still doesn't work as well as the similar free ClipMenu app which has very useful "Snippets", "Shortcuts" and "Actions" (all very useful but the user doesn't have to bother because they don't complicate the interface or basic usability) plus configuration of almost everything imaginable, from the menu bar icon choice to what types of files may be clipped to the quantity of clipped items stored to subfolders on the menu etc etc. And for those who are thinking, "How stupidi of that guy to not have a back up of those 29 pages!!", consder the following.

I was simply astounded when I was asked to do a review for Copy Clip! The invitation took me back to a time "pre- CC" when I didn't have the ability to see any history of my clipboard, let alone the power to go back and paste a clipboard item that I copied to the clipboard but have copied 79 items since. ![]()
