History & branching
Every transformation in a session is saved as a step. The floating panel exposes the full chain — you can walk it, branch from any point, or edit results manually.
Navigation keys
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
| ↓ | Go back one step (older) |
| ↑ | Go forward one step (newer) |
| ⌘E | Edit the current result inline (saved as a step) |
| ⌘S | Save the current result to a file |
| ⌘O | Open the current result in TextEdit |
| ⌘C | Copy the current result |
Branching
Press a prompt key from any step — the new result becomes a sibling, not a replacement. Your previous chain stays intact, and you can press ↓ back to it later.
This is useful when you want to compare two rewrites of the same input, or try a different translation language without losing the first one.
Edit mode
Press ⌘E to edit any result manually. Your edit becomes its own history step, so you can keep chaining from your edited version or revert to the original.
What is not saved
History is kept in-session only — close the panel and the chain is gone. ClipSlop deliberately doesn't persist transformation history to disk. This is a privacy choice: your prompts and results never leave your machine except to call your configured AI provider.
