Getting Started ​

Core Workflow ​

PasteQ is designed to minimize mouse interaction and the need to memorize hotkeys, letting you focus on your current task.

Summoning and Hiding ​

  • Global Hotkey: Press Option + c (default) to summon PasteQ's main window from anywhere.
  • Auto-hide: PasteQ automatically hides when you complete an action or switch to another window. You can also press the global hotkey again to hide it.

Tip: You can customize the global hotkey in the app's settings to fit your preferences.

Browsing and Searching ​

  • Arrow Keys: Use ↑ and ↓ to browse through your clipboard history.
  • Filter by Category:
    • Use Command + ← and Command + → to select different record categories (e.g., text, images, links).
  • Search: Simply start typing to search your clipboard history in real-time.

Copying and Pasting ​

  • Direct Paste: Select a record and press Enter. PasteQ will automatically hide and paste the record into your current active window (this can be toggled in settings).

More Operations ​

Due to space limitations, not all features are listed here.

  • Automatic Hotkey Hints: The bottom bar automatically shows the currently available actions and their hotkeys.
  • Settings: In the Settings, you can explore more feature toggles.

Managing Your Clipboard ​

Pinning and Grouping ​

For frequently used information like code snippets, email addresses, or common phrases, you can pin them for quick access.

  • Pin: Select a record and press Command + P to pin it to the Pin group.
  • Group Management: You can also add your own custom-named groups and manage them (create/edit/delete) in the settings.

Privacy and Security ​

We understand the importance of data security, and PasteQ provides robust protection for your privacy.

  • Private Content Recognition: The app can automatically recognize potential private information (like phone numbers, emails, etc.) in your clipboard content offline and encrypt it.
  • Local Encryption: All encrypted clipboard data is stored in an encrypted format on your local disk, ensuring the security of your local data.
  • iCloud Sync: You can choose to enable iCloud Sync to securely sync your data across your Mac devices.
