Persistent clippings can have keyboard shortcuts attached, blurring the line between Pastebot and some features in TextExpander and Keyboard Maestro. The app comes with a set of inspirational quotes. Pastebot also lets you create Pasteboards, which are persistent collections of clippings. The Sequential Paste queue makes it easy to copy many items from one place and then paste them in order somewhere else, as in a form. ![]() I hope that’s improved in a future release. The queue can’t be edited or the order of items pasted out of it changed. For instance, might want to copy the name, mailing address, phone number, and email address of a contact as separate items from an email, Web page, or your contacts list, because you have to enter them as individual items on another form. Then you can paste items from the queue into a new place. Instead of “switch to tab, copy, switch back to tab, find the field, paste,” you can copy everything as separate items to the queue. It’s an answer to the situation you may encounter when you have a set of data in one place you need to copy to another, which comes up for me all the time with Web forms. The Sequential Paste queue requires a little explanation before explaining how it works. You can also set it so that you hold down the invocation keys, set to Command-Shift-V by default, and select an item that’s automatically pasted when you release those keys.Ĭreating a filter is straightforward, and can have multiple steps. Instead of appearing in a fixed location, you can choose to have it always pop up behind the current mouse pointer location. I expect most people will spend most of their using the Quick Paste Menu, the behavior of which can be customized, too. Press the appropriate number key, and the item is copied, the window dismissed, and the item is pasted at the current foreground app’s insertion point or accepted as a pasted item. With the Quick Paste Menu, however, the last ten clippings are assigned a number in ascending order from 1 through 9 and ending with 0 as the 10th. In the main app, you can double click or select and press the right arrow to copy. The Quick Paste Menu lets you paste recent items by number.Ĭlippings in Pastebot can-of course-be copied in a variety of ways from the main app window and the Quick Paste Menu, invoked from the system menubar or with an optional keystroke. It has a full-text search feature if you don’t want to scroll through and scan for the entry you need. Pastebot lets you walk back in time for accidents, but you can also use it this way intentionally. You can furiously press Undo if in an app with many layers, but then you’ve lost your new changes. You copy and paste there-and realize you’ve lost your previous clipboard. You know the problem: you cut (not copy) something from a document intending to paste it elsewhere in a moment, but then a distraction emerges, such as another problem in the same text. I’ve already found it handy just in testing to recover lost pasted items, which happens to me when I’m managing multiple windows and projects at once. But Pastebot for macOS works just fine with the Universal Clipboard available in Sierra and iOS 10 to let you sync something you copy from Pastebot to an iPad or iPhone. An iOS version that interoperates with the macOS Pastebot isn’t out yet. With an iCloud account, you can sync items across all your Macs. Pastebot also includes a Blacklist tab in Preferences so you can exclude the clipboard from apps you specify, like those that manage passwords (ġPassword, LastPass, Keychain, and so forth), and those for which you’ll never want to capture the clipboard, which can include image and video-editing programs. That’s useful if you’re copying large images or datasets within a program. And you can opt to exclude extremely large items by specifying a threshold in megabytes the default is 25. You can choose how deep the backlist goes, from 50 to 500 entries. The Pastebot app previews everything you’ve copied and captured. The clippings also record the source, length, date, and application of origin. You can opt to show the full contents of clippings, too, as a view option, and you can use a Quick Look-style spacebar press to show a larger or full preview. Each clipping is marked by type-text, http, image, RTF, and more-and shown in either a one-line or thumbnail preview. You can access this deep scrapbook from either a system menubar item or the app, where the clippings appear in reverse chronological order. Once installed, Pastebot captures everything that you copy or cut to the system clipboard.
