Pin the text snippets you paste every day on a Mac
Some text gets pasted again and again: your address, a reply you send ten times a week, a hex color, a command, a link to your calendar. Typing it out or hunting for the last place you used it adds up. Here are two ways to keep those snippets ready.
Built in: Text Replacement
Open System Settings, then Keyboard, then Text Replacement. Add a short trigger such as "addr" and the full text it should expand to. Type the trigger in most Mac apps and it expands. It is good for short, single-line snippets you can remember a trigger for. It does not handle images or files, and some apps ignore it.
Pinned items in your clipboard history
If you use a clipboard manager, the things you paste often are already in it; the problem is that they scroll off as you copy new things. Pinning fixes that. In Copyslate, open the history with ⌥V, select an item and press ⌘P, or right-click it and choose Pin. Pinned items sit in their own group at the bottom of the panel, are never removed by the automatic clean-up, and survive "Clear History".
Pins can be text, links, images or files, and they are searchable like everything else: type a word, press Return, then ⌘V. Pins are free for 7 days, then part of a one-time purchase; clipboard history itself stays free.
Questions
Can I pin an image or a file, not just text?
In Copyslate, yes. Anything in the clipboard history can be pinned.
Do pinned items get cleared with the rest of the history?
No. "Clear History" in Copyslate keeps pins, and the automatic clean-up never removes them.
Where do pinned items appear?
In their own group at the bottom of the ⌥V panel, below recent items.
