New Clip

The New Clip button is available on the collection toolbar when the ClipHistory tab or an AceText Collection tab is active.

Click the New Clip button or press F4 on the keyboard to create a new, blank clip. This moves keyboard focus to the edit box for the clip’s contents. You can enter the clip’s text immediately. If you’d rather start with entering the clip’s label, there is an option in the Operation Preferences to focus the Label box instead.

If you add the new clip when a clip is selected then the new is added below the selected clip, inside the folder that contains it. If the parent folder is not sorted and you want the new clip to above the selected clip, click the Move Up after adding the clip.

If you add the new clip when a folder is selected then the new clip is added inside the selected folder. If you want the added clip to be a sibling of the selected folder, click the Move Up after adding the clip. If the parent folder is not sorted and you want the added folder to be a sibling below the selected folder, first move the clip above the folder. Then select the folder again and click the Move Up button to move it above the clip.
