Keyboard shortcuts

This page is about customising shortcuts. For the full read-only reference of every default key, see Keyboard map.

What you can rebind

ClipSlop has two layers of shortcuts:

1. Four global app actions — Trigger, Process clipboard, Blank editor, Screen OCR. Configure in Settings → Keyboard.
2. Per-prompt global shortcuts — every prompt can have its own Quick Paste and Open & Run binding. Configure in Settings → Prompts.

Global app actions

Open Settings → Keyboard and click any row to rebind. Defaults:

Default	Action
⌃⌘C	Trigger ClipSlop (selected text)
⌃⌘V	Process from clipboard
⌃⌘N	Blank editor
⇧⌘2	Screen capture (OCR)

Press the new combination to record it; press Esc to clear the binding entirely.

Per-prompt shortcuts

Each prompt in the library can have:

• Quick Paste — runs the prompt inline without opening the panel. See Quick Paste.
• Open & Run — opens the panel with the result so you can review or chain. See Open & Run.

Open Settings → Prompts, pick a prompt, scroll to the Shortcuts section, and assign one or both bindings.

Free conventions: ⌃⌘<letter> for Quick Paste, ⌃⌘⌥<letter> for the Open & Run variant of the same prompt. Pairs of bindings keep your muscle memory consistent.

Inside the panel

When the floating panel is open, these are fixed (not rebindable):

Shortcut	Action
⌘E	Edit mode
⌘F	Find in text
⌘S	Save to file
⌘O	Open in TextEdit
⌘D	Cycle display mode
⌘,	Settings
← →	Navigate history
↑ ↓	Scroll text
Space	Page down
Esc	Close / Back
