Application-specific issues
Application Name | Notes |
Google Chrome | Symptom: Chrome opens up a new blank window when activating PopClip features. Fix: Chrome has a bug where it does this if there is an update waiting. Update using the 'Update Google Chrome' button in top right of toolbar. |
Alfred | PopClip sometimes triggers Alfred's Clipboard Merging feature. This results in a 'purr' sound when selecting text with PopClip in some apps. Workaround: Disable Alfred's Clipboard Merging feature (uncheck 'Fast append selected text'). |
LaunchBar | PopClip sometimes triggers LaunchBar's ClipMerge feature. This results in a 'click' sound when selecting text with PopClip in some apps. Workaround: Disable LaunchBar's ClipMerge feature. |
Microsoft Word 2011 | Whilst PopClip does work with Microsoft Word 2011, it can sometimes behave erratically. PopClip may be slow to appear, or may not appear. |
OnLive | OnLive may crash if you use it while PopClip is running. |
OS X Launchpad | For a small number of users, clicking folders in Launchpad while PopClip is running may result in the folder not opening properly. |
PDF Expert | IF PopClip is not working in PDF Expert, please try the following procedure: 1) Begin selecting text in PDF Expert. 2) Before you release mouse button, press Caps Lock. 3) 'Learn' will appear; click! It should work after this. If not, let me know. |
Preview | When viewing PDFs in Preview in High Sierra (10.13) and Mojave (10.14), PopClip will not work. This is fixed in macOS 10.15 Catalina. |
Safari - Google Docs | PopClip works only erratically with Google Docs in Safari. Sometimes PopClip will fail to appear, and other times copying and pasting text will behave oddly. It may also cause Safari to emit a beep. I recommend using Google Chrome at the host browser if you want to use PopClip with Google Docs. |
Sublime Text | PopClip works generally well, but will interrupt the 'triple click and drag' technique to select multiple lines. Also, with certain packages installed, PopClip will not work. The packages I know of are 'Path Tools' and 'Arduino-like IDE'. |
Firefox | PopClip will fail with certain Firefox extension installed. Ones know to cause problems are: Tiny Menu, Menu Wizard. However there may be more. |
