QuickScrap (QS) can do things to make your life so much easier when using your Macintosh. Have you ever wanted to be able to easily store a piece of information from any document you're reading or editing? Here's how it's done with and without QuickScrap:
Without QuickScrap: With QuickScrap:
- select the information - select the info
- type Command-C to copy - type your QS hotkey
- switch to finder or use the apple menu
- open your other application or scrapbook
- type Command-V to paste in the info
- switch back to the first application
- continue where you left off - continue
With QuickScrap, you can send the data on the clipboard instantly to a scrapbook file, a ScrapIt Pro file or a QuickScrap file (from now on all three file types will be referred to as a scrap file) by pressing a key of your choice (without having to open the Scrapbook or ScrapIt Pro at all)! The QuickScrap file can be used as a multiple clipboard containing as many as 100 items! You can have QuickScrap automatically copy any selection you've made in any document you're working on and send the data directly to a scrap file with one keystroke.
Another handy feature of QuickScrap is that you can set a “Hotkey” to allow you to type a quick note (or edit text on the clipboard) and send it to a scrap file without having to leave the application you're currently in.
You can set another key to open any scrap file, display all the items in a gallery view or alphabetical list view and allow you to select an item and instantly have it pasted into whatever document you're editing.
This program performs functions that will benefit any Mac user and is extremely simple to set up and use. You can now define all those useless function keys on your extended keyboard (along with any other keys) to perform extremely useful tasks!
Some uses for QuickScrap:
• keep a multiple clipboard (10, 25, 50 or 100 items) instead of just the one by using the QuickScrap file
• email address 'glossary'
• easy access to graphic elements
• source for 'dingbat' characters
• autopaste list of standard 'boilerplate' paragraphs
• Grab an item from any scrap file without having to leave the application you're in with a keystroke!

This is shareware, an honor system which allows you to try it before you buy. You have 30 days to try QuickScrap. I've put lots of time and effort into creating this utility. When you register you will receive a registration number (via U.S. mail or e-mail if you have an e-mail address) that will stop the “Please Register” message each time you start QuickScrap. If you use this, please send in the requested registration fee of $15 for each copy (discounts available for 10 or more copies). Thank you for your support.

If you don't usually read manuals, at least read the “Introduction”, “How to Install QuickScrap”, “Setting Up QuickScrap” and the “How to Register” sections to learn how to do things that would not be obvious, thank you.
