Textclips Manager
With the help of the Textclips Manager, many options are available to edit the elements of the Textclip sidebar and thus also to edit texts more efficiently. The following options are available with the Textclips Manager:
- edit existing Textclips
- add new Textclips
- delete Textclips
- sort Textclips
- rename existing Textclips
Open Textclips Manager
There are two ways to open the Textclips Manager:
- via the menu bar using a Window > Textclips Manager
- via the Textclips sidebar by clicking the button at the bottom
Add a new Textclip
To add a new Textclip to the list, the + button must be clicked. The new entry is automatically selected so that a name for the new entry can be assigned immediately. How to edit the Textclip further is explained under Edit Textclips on this page.
Remove Textclips
To do this, the clip to be removed must be selected in the list and can be removed by clicking the - button .
Edit text clip
After selecting the Textclip to be edited, the following values can be set:
- Textclip content
- This appears in the text when the Textclip is clicked in the Textclips sidebar or a tab action is used.
- Apply to blocks
- Activating this option applies Textclips to blocks, which means that each individual line of a selected text is assigned this text clip.
- Add marker button
- This button inserts a marker in the form of {*}. When using the text clip, this marker is replaced by the replacement marker and automatically selected (more on the Markers).
- Replacement marker
- This is the replacement value for the marker using the Add marker button. Any text can be used, however this must be enclosed in {* *}. (more about the Markers).
- Tab action command
- Any text without spaces can be used, which should trigger a tab action by pressing the tab key. For example, if the keyword link is used, the tab action is triggered by writing link followed by pressing the tab key.
Sort Textclips
The order of the Textclips can be changed by simply dragging and dropping the Textclip to the desired position.
Renaming Textclips
To rename a Textclip, the specific clip must be selected in the list by double-clicking it. This selects and prepares the Textclip for renaming.
