ClipboardFusion Help

Right-clicking the ClipboardFusion system tray icon will show this menu, allowing you to access the Settings, toggle the Trigger command, run Triggers on the current clipboard text, and more.

The Trigger Command Setting sub-menu allows you to disable and enable automatic Trigger processing on copied text.

The Clipboard Syncing sub-menu allows you to enable or disable syncing, sync the current clipboard text, toggle automatic sync on ever copy, or open your ClipboardFusion account page.

The Language sub-menu allows you to choose which language the ClipboardFusion UI should be in.

The Clipboard Manager is where you'll spend most of your time. The five tabs in the Clipboard Manager from left to right are Local History, Local Pinned, Online Recent, Online Pinned, and Macros. You can disable or re-enable any of the tabs by right-clicking on any tab in the Clipboard Manager window. You can also right-click on any entry in the lists to perform actions like running Macros on them, pinning them, removing them, and more.

When right-clicking an item on any of the Clipboard Manager tabs, you'll get a context menu with various options for working with the items. Some menu items are only available for items on specific tabs.

If you right-click any of the tabs in the Clipboard Manager (or in any blank space if all tabs are disabled), you can choose to enable and disable the tabs. Clicking an item in the list will toggle it between enabled and disabled.

The History tab is where you'll see all of your recently copied items. The newest item is at the top, and you can paste any item to the last focused window just buy clicking it in the list. If you want to set a History item on the clipboard without automatically pasting it, you can hold Shift on the keyboard while you click the item. You can then paste it later by pressing Ctrl + V.

The Pinned tab lists all of your items that have been pinned locally. These items are stored locally on your machine and not synced to the ClipboardFusion servers. If you right-click on an item, you can edit it, add it to one of the Online lists, remove it, and more.

The Online Recent tab lists your items that were recently synced to the ClipboardFusion servers. If you right-click an item, you can choose to pin it, edit it, remove it, and more.

The Online Pinned tab in the Clipboard Manager lists your items that have been synced and pinned to the ClipboardFusion servers. You can adjust the number of items shown on the Settings > Clipboard Syncing tab. If you right-click on an item, you can choose to edit the item, unpin the item, remove the item and more.

The Macros tab in the Clipboard Manager allows you to select a Macro to run on the current clipboard text. If you left-click on an item in the Macros tab, it will run that Macro on the current clipboard text. If you right-click an item, you can choose to run a sync, edit the Macro, or remove the Macro.

The Preview Popup will show a small preview of images or HTML colour codes that are currently on the clipboard. The Preview Popup can be disabled on the Settings > Options tab.

You can right-click the Preview Popup window to get a context menu that allows you to save the image file to your local hard drive, or close the Preview Popup.

You can access the ClipboardFusion Settings window by clicking the "gears" icon in the lower-right of the Clipboard Manager window, or by right-clicking the ClipboardFusion system tray icon (on the taskbar, near the clock) and choosing "Settings." The Settings window allows you to tweak features like the Clipboard Manager, Clipboard History, and Clipboard Syncing. You can also create rules on the Triggers tab for modifying text automatically when copying.

This tab in the Settings window allows you to log onto your Binary Fortress account, check for program updates, and modify application settings.

The My Licenses dialog allows you to view and load any license keys that are applicable for this product. If you don't see your purchased license listed, please contact us and we'll help track it down. This dialog can be accessed via the My Licenses button on the Settings > Options tab (when logged in).

On the Settings > Clipboard Manager tab, you can configure the behaviour of the Clipboard Manager window, including whether it stays open all the time, or closes after pasting an item. You can also choose where the Clipboard Manager window will open, the default tab to show when it opens, and more. Note that you can set a key combination for opening the Clipboard Manager on the Settings > HotKeys tab.

On the Settings > Clipboard History tab, you can configure the behaviour of the History tab in the Clipboard Manager. You can choose the number of items to store in the history, the database location (if you prefer to have it somewhere other than the default), set hotkeys for pasting history and pinned items, and more.

On the Settings > Clipboard Syncing tab, you can configure whether ClipboardFusion syncs your copied text online, whether it does it automatically, and how many Online items you want it to keep on the local machine. If you have an account already, you can login in the "My Binary Fortress Account" section. If you don't already have an account, click the Register button to set one up. Note that a ClipboardFusion Pro license is required in order to be able to sync your items to the ClipboardFusion servers.

In the "My Binary Fortress Account" section, you can enter your email address and password to enable easy retrieval of your license key.

Right-clicking the ClipboardFusion system tray icon will bring up a context menu where you can choose to Show the Clipboard Manager, open the Settings window, toggle the Trigger Command Setting, and more. If you don't see the ClipboardFusion system tray icon on the taskbar, try clicking the "up" arrow next to the tray icons to access the hidden icons. From there, you can click and drag the ClipboardFusion icon down to the main area on the taskbar.

The tray icon can take on different appearances and overlays:

• Clipboard not filled in: The Windows clipboard is empty.
• Clipboard filled in: The Windows clipboard has data on it.
• White circle overlay: The ClipboardFusion clipboard listener is paused. ClipboardFusion will not run Triggers or add items to the Clipboard History list.
• Blue circle overlay: ClipboardFusion is currently syncing with the server.
• Green circle on overlay: ClipboardFusion has finished syncing and is up to date with the server.

Trigger rules allow you to perform multiple Actions on clipboard text. The rules can be triggered on a single copy (always), a double-copy (pressing Ctrl + C twice in succession), or except on double-copy (always except when pressing Ctrl + C twice in succession). Triggers can perform Actions like scrubbing formatting, replacing text, running Macros, and more. You can also specify the conditions of which the Trigger rule should be run, to have it run only on specific clipboard text.

The Edit Trigger window allows you to create a defined set of Actions that should be taken on the clipboard text. If you specify conditions in the "Match Conditions" section, the Actions in the Trigger rule will only apply to clipboard text that matches those conditions. This window is accessed via the Edit (when Trigger selected) button on the Triggers (Scrub/Replace) tab in the settings window.

Triggers can perform many actions on the clipboard text, including scrubbing the text (removing whitespace, HTML, etc), replacing text, running Macros, and more.

The Settings > Triggers tab allows you to create Trigger rules that can be automatically or manually processed on clipboard text. With the Trigger Command Settings, you can have the Triggers run automatically every time text is copied, only when a copy is done twice in succession (e.g. pressing Ctrl + C twice, quickly), or only when a copy is not done twice in succession. You can also disable the Trigger Command, so that the Triggers are only processed if you manually run them via the system tray menu or a HotKey.

The Scrub Text action allows ClipboardFusion to automatically remove extra spaces, line breaks, and tabs from the start and end of the clipboard text, and also remove HTML code.

This tab allows you to download and create scripted Macros for performing complex operations on clipboard text. Macros can be created using C# or VB .NET code.

This tab allows you to set key combinations on a number of different functions, including functions for opening each specific tab in the Clipboard Manager window.

On this tab, you can add programs to the list of programs that ClipboardFusion should ignore. If a program is on this list, its text won't show up in the History menu, won't be synced online, and Trigger rules (text scrubbing, text replace, etc) will not run on text that this program puts on the clipboard.

This tab in the Settings window contains a list of all the languages currently installed on your system for use.

This tab in the Settings window displays your current License key, and allows you to update the License Key or revert to the free version.

The code editor window allows you to write function code in C# or VB .net. There are scripting API functions available in VoiceBot, DisplayFusion, and ClipboardFusion. If you start typing "BFS." the auto-complete will pop up a list of scripting functions that you can use. You can also use any regular C# or VB .NET code.
