Paste faster

Once the basics work, these Mac features save the most time. Try one at a time.

⌘1 to ⌘9

Open the Side Window and hold ⌘. Numbers appear on the first nine clips. Press ⌘ and a number to paste that clip. More

Quick Mode

One shortcut does it all: open the Side Window, step through clips, release to paste. Turn it on in Settings ▸ Quick Mode, then hold the modifier keys of your Toggle side window shortcut and tap the last key to move down the list. More

Hot Edge

Move the mouse to the edge of the screen to open the Side Window, no keys needed. Set it up in Settings ▸ Hot Edge. More

Plain text

Press ⇧ Enter to paste without formatting. To always strip formatting, use Settings ▸ Plain Text. More

Queue

Copy several things, then paste them in order, one per paste. Good for filling forms. Open it from the Side Window menu or set a shortcut for Show Queue. More

Transform

Clean up text as you paste: change case, trim whitespace, remove tracking parameters from links, or write your own JavaScript. Set it up in Settings ▸ Transform. More
