What Paste + | does

Use it in chat, document, and rich-text fields where Return may submit but Shift-Return inserts another line.

How to use it

  1. Copy the content you want to insert.
  2. Open ActionClip's paste widget in an empty editable field.
  3. Choose Paste + |. ActionClip pastes, then sends Shift-Return.

Example

Clipboard

First line

Sequence

Paste “First line” → insert Shift-Return line break

Settings

Open the action's settings from:

ActionClip Settings → Actions → Paste + | → gear
ActionClip Display settings with Icon with Label, Icon only, and Label only options
Paste + | uses these three Display styles in the floating widget.

Display

Choose how this action appears in the floating widget. This changes only its presentation, not what it does.

  • Icon with Label
  • Icon only
  • Label only

Changes are saved automatically.

You can also replace this action's icon from ActionClip → Actions. See change an action icon.

When ActionClip suggests it

Paste + | appears only in paste mode.

Enabled actions remain available in your Actions list even when Smart Suggestions do not promote them for the current selection.

Requirements and privacy

  • Works locally and does not require Online Actions.
  • The destination must accept paste and Shift-Return input.
  • The exact visual line-break behavior is controlled by the destination app.
