General
The clipboard catcher is similar to the ScratchPad. While the ScratchPad catches text chunks which are specifically copied there from inside WikidPad, the clipboard catcher collects every piece of text copied (or cut) to the Windows clipboard from every application and appends it to a wiki page of your choice.
Top
Clipboard catcher at page
In this mode, the clipboard catcher appends copied text to the page for which it was activated, even if you go to another page while it is active.
Go to the wiki page where the clipboard snippets should be appended to. Activate "Clipboard Catcher at Page" in menu "Wiki Words". If you open the menu again, you can see that "Clipboard Catcher at:" is checked now and the page name is appended to the menu item.
Top
Clipboard catcher at cursor
In this mode, the snippets are inserted at current cursor position as if they were typed in manually. Cursor position and page won't be remembered. If you change the cursor position, snippets will be inserted at the new one. Activate "Clipboard Catcher at Cursor" in menu "Wiki Words".

Options
Application settings: Editor, clipboard catcher
This page is only visible on Windows.
• Prepend before clipboard snippet
Control what the Clipboard Catcher should prepend before each caught snippet. This option supports time formats (as these shown in "Set Date Format" dialog in "Editor" menu)
• Append after clipboard snippet
Control what the Clipboard Catcher should append after each caught snippet. This option supports time formats (as these shown in "Set Date Format" dialog in "Editor" menu). The same escapes can be used as in the replace field of the "Find and Replace" dialog in regular expression mode.
• Avoid doubled snippets
If the same text is pasted multiple times consecutively to the clipboard, it is pasted only the first time. Some applications execute a single paste command as multiple pastes to the clipboard which would lead to multiple inserts without this option.
• User notification
Choose if you want to hear a sound when a clipboard snippet is inserted.
• Sound file
Choose the sound file to play (if you have chosen to be notified by sound above). If the field is empty, a default sound is played.
