Choosing PopClip’s dictionary-definition option launches OS X’s Dictionary app, rather than using OS X’s less-disruptive definition popover (which you normally access by holding the pointer over a word and pressing Control-Command-D) I’d like PopClip to use the latter. There are also a couple options I’d like to see added. And if you select a block of text, then select it (or a smaller block within it) again, the popover doesn’t appear you must first click elsewhere and then reselect the text. For example, the PopClip popover occasionally-though not frequently-fails to appear until selecting text a second time. On the other hand, PopClip does have a few quirks. It’s even more convenient than right-clicking selected text to access similar options from the contextual menu. Although I’m a keyboard jockey, I do sometimes access these various options using the mouse pointer, and I find PopClip to be easier-and quicker-than using traditional menu commands. You can also adjust the size of the popover, and you can disable specific types of commands (search, working with links, definitions, and spelling). If a particular program doesn’t get along with PopClip-or if you’d just rather not see PopClip’s popovers in an app-you can add that program to PopClip’s excluded-apps list. The developer has provided a few useful options for tweaking PopClip. Similarly, if you’ve copied text using PopClip, clicking anywhere in an editable document brings up a Paste popover. If selected text is editable, the popover includes the option to cut if you previously copied text using PopClip, you also get the option to paste the contents of the clipboard.
You can also use PopClip to more-easily cut and paste text.
