Glue Separator

Choose what goes between clips when you glue them together.

By default, Glue joins clips with a line break. The separator flyout lets you switch to a tab, space, divider line, or any custom text — and your choice is remembered for next time.

How to use it

  1. Select 2 or more text clips.
  2. Click the ▾ arrow next to the Glue button in the toolbar.
  3. Pick a separator:
    • None — clips are joined directly with no gap
    • Newline — line break between clips (default)
    • Tab — tab character (useful for Excel or TSV output)
    • Space — single space
    • — — a divider line surrounded by line breaks
    • Custom — type any text; \n and \t are interpreted as actual line breaks and tabs
  4. Click the Glue button to join — the separator you just picked is used.

Your separator choice is saved and reused next time you open the flyout.

Tips & gotchas

  • The ▾ button is only active when 2+ text clips are selected.
  • The flyout closes automatically after you pick a separator or click away.
  • Image clips are ignored during glue regardless of separator.
  • The status bar shows which separator was used after a glue.
