Quick Paste

Select text → ⌃⌘G → grammar fixed in place

Quick Paste is the fastest way to use ClipSlop. Assign a global hotkey to any prompt, and ClipSlop runs entirely in the background:

  1. Captures the currently selected text.
  2. Sends it through the prompt.
  3. Pastes the result back, replacing the selection.

You never leave your app.

Default Quick Paste shortcuts

A handful of prompts ship with a default global hotkey:

ShortcutPrompt
⌃⌘/// Your prompt
⌃⌘GFix Grammar
⌃⌘FReformat
⌃⌘TTranslate → English

Configure your own in Settings → Prompts — every prompt can have a Quick Paste binding.

How it works under the hood

ClipSlop simulates ⌘C to read your selection, runs the prompt against your configured AI provider, then simulates ⌘V to paste the result. The clipboard is restored to whatever was on it before the hotkey fired — Quick Paste leaves no trace beyond the replaced selection.

Want to bind a custom prompt?

Open Settings → Prompts, pick or create a prompt, and assign a Global shortcut · Quick Paste. The shortcut works system-wide as long as ClipSlop has Accessibility permission.
