Pasting multiple items
You can select multiple pasteboard items and paste them all back at once.
- Open CutBox with Cmd + Shift + V
- Search/Select some items with the mouse / keyboard
- The order you select items is preserved
- Preview will show you the paste output as you change item selection
- Press Enter to paste what you can see in preview
Let's say you had these words in your CutBox history as separate items, copy them one by one to try this out for yourself.
Items in CutBox History |
---|
Hello |
World |
Foo |
Bar |
We'll select them in this order: Foo, Bar, Hello, World.
Press Enter and CutBox will paste:
Foo
Bar
Hello
World
Join and wrapping features for multiple items.
In Advanced preferences you can set the join mode to New Line or Text
Choose Text mode and set the join string to ,
so that our multiple items are pasted like this:
Foo, Bar, Hello, World
Enable wrapping in preferences to surround the items with a start and end string. For example let's paste our items like this:
("Foo", "Bar", "Hello", "World")
Set wrapping start string to: ("
and end strings to: ")
(with Wrapping enabled)
If you want to use special text and new lines, use the \n
newline character.
Join and wrap have key commands to toggle their state.
- Toggle join mode: Cmd -
- Toggle wrapping mode: Cmd [
Using join and wrap can paste items in a lot of different ways, it's pretty useful if you're working with lists of items.
If you exhaust the potential of join & wrap, you can always paste through Javascript or shell commands. (see: Javascript support in CutBox)
