Lesson 6: QuickPick

QuickPick filters clips by typing text that appears in the title. With 500 clips in your InBox, finding one with "Enron" in the title is instant—just type!

Exercise: Using QuickPick​

Using the clips from Lesson 4 in ClipMate Classic:

  1. Click the drop-down arrow to expose the ClipList
  2. Type: ?john

As you type:

  • The ? triggers QuickPick mode (blue bar appears)
  • By the time you type "jo", matching clips move to the top

How It Works​

  • Your typing appears in the status bar with a "hand" icon
  • Backspace removes characters
  • Escape exits QuickPick mode
  • Erasing all characters also exits QuickPick

QuickPick Features​

Search Behavior
  • Not case sensitive — "John" and "john" match the same
  • Searches titles only — Not the clip body
  • Matches anywhere — Not just the beginning of titles

New Clips During QuickPick​

Any clips captured while filtering appear below the blue bar. They're at the top of the collection but not part of the filtered results.

Tips​

QuickPick is great for:

  • Finding clips quickly without full search
  • Navigating large collections
  • Rapid clip selection
