Tutorial Description

In this episode I cover the basics of Copy and Paste.

Starting withthe basic built in keyboard commands, to an easy way to copy and paste using the Mouse or Trackpad with PopClip, finishing off with a look at one of the best clipboard managers I've seen for a long time - Copied.

Copied allows you to copy, transform and paste clippings in both OS X and iOS. Create lists of clippings and save them, sync them across all your devices, use the Today widget or use the special Copied keyboard on iOS - Copied really is a fantastic application.

One issue I ran into was the copy link as markdown with Ulysses since it uses brackets to signify a link so it actually doesn't store the link in the title. Any workarounds on this?

Hi Brian, On the Mac it's easy - just use a Smart Paste into Ulysses. Just âŒ˜â‡§V in Ulysses and you'll be presented with a popup to paste in different formats including Markdown. I haven't found a solution pasting in iOS but I've logged a call with Ulysses support.

No one seems to have mentioned ClipMenu. I've been using it for years, and it's brilliant. Not quite so wide-ranging as Copied, but a real dependable workhorse. Like Don, I use Alfred quite a lot and tried their version of all this, but I find ClipMenu a better, integrated, and straightforward choice. And, as far as I recall, free.

Rules in Copied: You create a rule and select SAFARI ater clicking on the "+" . But in my case, whe I select "+" I have a different result ad don;'t access to Finder : i have the options to
-Add application rule
-add Host Name Rule
-Add regular expression rule
And none take me to Finder
How can I select an application and create a rule?
Thank you so much!
