Hi everyone!
Every time I send text to scrivener, it creates a new clipping. Now, since I’m using it to summarize books and papers, I work on the same document and I usually don’t need new clippings, I rearrange the notes in a second moment. So, is it possible to append the selected text to the current document?
this is not how @nick would do it probably but you can make a popclip snippet to invoke the scrivener system service ‘append to text’.
in my own case, because i am lazy and stupid and i want to use popclip for everything (dear @nick please make a popclip extension to scratch my nose) i have keyboard shortcuts assigned to append unformatted and append formatted services and i use popclip to invoke them like this :
#popclip scrivener options
name: send txt to scrivener
requirements: [text, paste]
actions:
- title: append unformatted # note: actions have a `title`, not a `name`
icon: circle filled U
key combo: command F16
- title: append formatted
icon: circle filled F
key combo: command F18
clunky i know but like i said

Actually that’s exactly how I would do it !
I’ve updated the extension with an option to choose which of its 3 actions you want it to use — “Make New Clipping”, “Append to Text” or “Append to Notes”.
