![]() ![]() I recommend using Google Chrome at the host browser if you want to use PopClip with Google Docs. Sometimes PopClip will fail to appear, and other times copying and pasting text will behave oddly. PopClip works only erratically with Google Docs in Safari. (It may work on the first page but not after the first two or three pages.) This is due to an accessibility bug in Preview which I have reported to Apple. When viewing PDFs in Preview in High Sierra (10.13) and Mojave (10.14), PopClip will not work. IF PopClip is not working in PDF Expert, please try the following procedure:Ģ) Before you release mouse button, press Caps Lock. ![]() OnLive may crash if you use it while PopClip is running.įor a small number of users, clicking folders in Launchpad while PopClip is running may result in the folder not opening properly. PopClip may be slow to appear, or may not appear. Whilst PopClip does work with Microsoft Word 2011, it can sometimes behave erratically. Workaround: Disable LaunchBar's ClipMerge feature. This results in a 'click' sound when selecting text with PopClip in some apps. PopClip sometimes triggers LaunchBar's ClipMerge feature. Workaround: Disable Alfred's Clipboard Merging feature (uncheck 'Fast append selected text'). This results in a 'purr' sound when selecting text with PopClip in some apps. PopClip sometimes triggers Alfred's Clipboard Merging feature. Update using the 'Update Google Chrome' button in top right of toolbar. For example, when you select a string of words, the popup menu will show actions that you’d perform on words (e.g., search in Google, cut/copy, word count).Symptom: Chrome opens up a new blank window when activating PopClip features.įix: Chrome has a bug where it does this if there is an update waiting. This means that they are triggered when it makes sense for them to be available. Extensions are quick and easy to install/uninstall and they’re smart. Users and developers have created useful PopClip add-ons to popular third-party apps like Evernote, OmniFocus, and Skype, and it seems that a few new ones appear every month. In addition to the default set, there are currently over 100 extensions available, putting the actions you need-from image search to unit conversion-at your fingertips. It is the extra actions available through the PopClip extension library that make PopClip much more powerful and, for this user, essential. While the ability perform the actions shown in the screenshots above is nice, it frankly wouldn’t make it a must-have utility for most users. And importantly, PopClip is so well integrated and feels so native that you’d swear it was part of the operating system. Since I spend much of my time at the computer dealing with text (writing, editing, copying, pasting, formatting, searching for terms, etc.), any piece of software that can reduce friction as I manipulate text is a plus. Unlike some of Apple’s own iOS-ification which seems more cosmetic than truly useful, PopClip scratches a productivity itch right where I need it-with text handling. ![]() Nevertheless, the consensus seems to be that some degree of OS convergence is inevitable.
