The Paste as New Clip button is available on the collection toolbar when the ClipHistory tab or an AceText Collection tab is active. You can also find this button on the AceText Tower.
Click the Paste as New Clip button or press Shift+Ctrl+V to create a new clip from the text on the Windows clipboard, regardless of which application copied the text to the clipboard. If you used Cut Clip to Clipboard or Copy Clip to Clipboard in AceText to place several clips and/or folders on the clipboard then all of them are pasted.
Note that the keyboard shortcut Shift+Ctrl+V pastes the text as a new clip, while the regular paste shortcut Ctrl+V pastes the text into the control that has keyboard focus. If you are editing a clip’s label, for example, Ctrl+V pastes (the first line of) the text on the clipboard into the label.
If the text being pasted was copied to the window by an application or window that you configured in the Applications Preferences or Windows Preferences then the pasted text uses the syntax coloring scheme you configured for that application or window. If you disabled both the Clipboard tab and automatic capture to the ClipHistory for that application or window, then the text is pasted as a secret clip.
