QuickPick and ShortCuts

Having access to thousands of previous clips is only a great thing if you can find the data that you're looking for, more easily than typing it again. Here is where QuickPick and ShortCuts come in.

With QuickPick, you can "filter" the titles in the current collection by merely typing the ? key, followed by some text (not case sensitive) that you expect to find in the title of a clip. As you enter each keystroke, the list is updated to show your "hits" up at the top. Keep typing to narrow down the search. In this example, we've entered "?pick", and have filtered out all clips with "pick" in the title.

Shortcuts are even more powerful. Similar to QuickPick, the shortcut engine searches "nicknames" that you assign to important clips (such as your Visa card info). Here I am pulling my visa details up, by typing ".cc.v" (V for Visa, because I've also got M for MasterCard, and D for Discover, etc..). This data does not even reside in the "inbox" collection that I happened to be working in - ShortCuts work across collections, and even databases (if you use multiple databases).

Both functions are fully integrated with QuickPaste, so in the example shown, you'd simply pick the item that you wanted (CC Number), press ENTER, and the data would be sent to NetCaptor (our favorite web browser). Invoke QuickPaste again, to paste the name, date, etc.. The selection remains "live" until you cancel it with the ESCape key.
