When you think informer, you think Huggy Bear, now don't you?
I had a bad experience on a low-end Western Digital. So, expect an occasional updates on how this drive holds up. Still, with storage, it’s OK to fail upwards - it’s still probably the best drive I’ve ever had, and it has a one-year warranty.
I read questions about the quality of the electronic components. Some people have had it die on them very quickly. The Seagate ST310005EXA101-RK honsetly doesn’t have stellar reviews. I run a backup every night, but I don’t even want to think about the process of backing up my desktop to an external drive anymore for a long time. More seriously, the new drive is meant to allow me to comfortably just set Time Machine up to do its thing. To be able to get it for $60 at a Target clearance sale is, indeed, an indication we live in wondrous times. If you want faster access, you can set a system-wide keyboard shortcut for Snippets in the Shortcuts menu of the Preferences.So, a terabyte is, on some fundamental level, fantastic and futuristic to me. You’ll find your Snippets below your clipboard items.
You can add as many folders full of bits of text as you like. From form emails you need to send regularly to the outline of a report you regularly write, this has all sorts of uses. Of course, you could put pieces of text you find yourself repeating a lot, instead of just emoji. I store these in the Snippets menu, which you can find in the Preferences. I have lots of Very Important Emoji that i need to use on a regular basis. Compile Frequently Pasted Things In Snippets For example, you could make Command+click trigger pasting something as plain text, if you like. You can also set specific gestures for specific actions. To trigger the option menu, simply launch ClipMenu, then click on something using the gesture you picked (by default, holding Control and clicking.) A menu will pop up, showing all of the options you’ve selected: You can also pick what does and does not show up in the Action menu. From here you can set a mouse and keyboard gesture to launch the Action Menu. To learn how this works, head to the “Action” tab in the Preferences window. You can also paste what was formatted text as plain text, which comes in handy a lot. The first thing I’d like to point out is “Actions,” which allows you to do things like PASTE TEXT IN ALL CAPS, or (more likely) paste text that’s already in all caps in lowercase.

But that’s not all this application can do, so let’s go over a few key features.
Use the arrow keys to quickly browse your collection, or press the number keys to make a selection even faster (press “1” for the first option, “2” for the second, and so on.)Īnd there you have it! You now have an ongoing archive of the things you’ve copied.
Once you do you can bring up a menu full of your clippings while using any program. Here you can set any shortcut you like I personally use Command+Option+V, but you can use something different if you like. If you’d prefer a keyboard shortcut, click “Preferences” then head to the “Shortcuts” section. Of course, moving your mouse to the menu bar can get in the way of your workflow. Click anything here and it will paste automatically. When you first launch the program you won’t see many things here, but as you copy more you’ll see your collection grow.
