Inline Run
Select text → ⌃⌘G → grammar fixed in place
Inline Run is the fastest way to use ClipSlop. Assign a global hotkey to any prompt, and ClipSlop runs entirely in the background:
- Captures the currently selected text.
- Sends it through the prompt.
- Pastes the result back, replacing the selection.
You never leave your app.
Three lines of text, three different Inline Run shortcuts: ⌃⌘G fixes grammar on the first line, ⌃⌘T translates the second line to English, and ⌃⌘/ runs the one-shot prompt typed after // on the third. Every result pastes back in place.
Default Inline Run shortcuts
A handful of prompts ship with a default global hotkey:
| Shortcut | Prompt |
|---|---|
⌃⌘/ | // Your prompt |
⌃⌘G | Fix Grammar |
⌃⌘F | Reformat |
⌃⌘T | Translate → English |
Configure your own in Settings → Prompts — every prompt can have a Inline Run 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 — Inline Run 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 · Inline Run. The shortcut works system-wide as long as ClipSlop has Accessibility permission.
