PopClip Tip: Hold Shift to Copy

Here is a quick tip about something very useful that I don’t think many users know about.

Whenever you use an action that replaces text, you can always hold Shift to make PopClip copy that text instead.

This works for all actions and extensions.

What needs to be done to make it work for user created extension? Hoping if we could just copy the text generated by the extension when we have ⇧ pressed. Without ⇧ pressed, it does the usual thing and replaces the text.

Works just the same. Whenever an extension use the paste-result after action or the pasteText() JS method, this will work.

(By the way, the sentence was meant to include user-created extensions. I meant “built in actions” and “extensions”. Have edited. There’s no such thing as a built-in extension – all extensions are user created.)
