Choose paste options
- Open ActionClip → Settings → Paste widget.
- Choose Configure… beside Paste options.
- Enable the paste actions you want. The demo in the Paste widget section updates to match your choices.
Paste, Paste + Return, Paste + New Line, and Paste Plain remain separate options. Snippet management sits directly below the demo, outside the Configure popup.
Create and manage snippets
- Enable the Snippets checkbox.
- Choose Manage Snippets… → New Snippet.
- Enter the snippet text and an optional title, then choose Save.
In the manager, use each snippet's checkbox to show or hide it, the pencil to edit it, or the trash button to delete it. The parent Snippets row has no delete button. Snippets are indented below it.
To save selected text, use Add to Snippets in the action widget. The editor opens with the selected text already filled in and an empty, optional title. Choose Save or Cancel.
Insert a snippet
Place the insertion point in a supported editable field and open the Paste widget. Choose Snippets, then the saved entry. Each entry shows its title and a short text preview, without a repeated icon. A small divider separates Snippets from preceding paste actions. With more than five enabled snippets, the dropdown includes search; use the arrow keys and Return to select a match, or Escape to close it.
Storage and privacy
Snippets stay on this Mac. ActionClip inserts their literal text, including whitespace and line breaks, without evaluating it as an action template. Insertion uses the existing clipboard-preserving paste flow and respects paused apps and websites.
Put your most-used snippets first
Settings shows the saved count beside Manage Snippets. In the manager, drag the handle on the right of a row to change its position. The list scrolls near the edge while dragging. The order saves automatically and is used by the Paste widget after relaunch. Choose Done to return to Settings.
