Creating and Editing Text Clippings

creating a text clipping

You can quickly create a new text clipping by clicking an empty bin. Doing so opens a dialog that enables you to type the text of the clipping.

You can edit an existing clipping by holding down the Command key while clicking on its bin.

Please note that only the plain text content of text clippings can currently be edited in iClip—any formatting that the clipping had will be lost after editing it.

Copying Text from All Clipping Bins

You can conveniently copy the text from all the clipping bins in the current clipping set to the Clipboard. To do so, choose Copy Text from All Clipping Bins from the Edit menu. Each copied clipping will be on a separate line. A handy shortcut for doing this is to press the Shift and Option keys while clicking any enabled Clipping Out button.

Please note that only the plain text content of each clipping will be copied—any formatting that the clippings have will be ignored. Also, the text will only be copied to the Clipboard and not automatically pasted to the current application, even if Current Application Copy/Paste is enabled.

Pasting Text to Multiple Clipping Bins

Similar to copying text from all clipping bins, you can also paste a block of text from the Clipboard to multiple clipping bins. To do so, choose Paste Text to Multiple Clipping Bins from the Edit menu. Each individual line of the text will be put into a separate clipping bin starting with the next bin after the last occupied bin. Clipping bins will be added to the current clipping set if there aren’t enough to hold all the clippings.

You can also paste text to multiple clipping bins by pressing the Shift and Option keys while clicking any enabled Clipping In button. Using this method, the clipping bins will be filled starting with the bin that the clicked Clipping In button is associated with. The contents of that clipping bin and any after it may potentially be replaced by using this method.

Please note that only the plain text content of the clipping will be pasted—any formatting that the clipping has will be ignored. Also, the text will only be pasted from the Clipboard and not automatically copied from the current application, even if Current Application Copy/Paste is enabled.
