Each of the Grabber tools has a preferences setting which can be accessed by double-clicking on the desired tool. The Text Grabber preferences are described below:
Text Grabber Preferences
 
Show Startup Icon: When this item is checked, the scrolling Text Grabber startup icon will be displayed when QuarkXPress is launched.
Fast Scan Mode: When Fast Scan Mode is enabled, Text Grabber uses a different search method to determine the location of text within the marquee area. This Fast Scanning method can be up to 3 times faster than the standard scanning method.
The trade-off is that, under rare circumstances (such as a heavily kerned, overlapping character pair which falls exactly at the edge of the marquee area), the Fast Scanning method may be slightly less accurate in determining character positions than the standard method. It is best to first try Text Grabber with the Fast Scan option enabled. If you have any problems, simply uncheck the Fast Scan option to use the standard scanning method.
The Fast Scan preferences option takes affect immediately, making it very easy for you to test the performance increase that Fast Scan Mode provides.
Save Previous Entries: With this option enabled, each time you click OK the current Text Grabber settings will be stored. The next time you drag out a Text Grabber marquee, those settings will be restored. This feature allows you to change more than one area very quickly by holding down the Command-Control buttons while drawing your Text Grabber marquee.
Enable Hot Keys: This option enables the Text Grabber Undo/Redo hot key (Cmd-Option-Z). Should this hot key sequence present any conflict (perhaps with another XTension), simply uncheck this option and the hot key will be disabled. Note that you will still be able to access the Undo/Redo feature by using the Grabber™ menu available under Quark’s Edit menu.
