Text Transforms

One-click text operations on clip content — uppercase, sort, join lines, and more.

The toolbar below the clip editor has 8 text transforms. They apply to your selection, or to the entire clip if nothing is selected. All transforms are undoable with Ctrl+Z.

How to use it

  1. Select a clip in the clip list.
  2. In the preview pane, select text (or leave nothing selected for whole-clip).
  3. Click a transform button in the toolbar below the editor.

Available transforms

Transform Shortcut What it does
Title Case Ctrl+T Capitalizes the first letter of each word
UPPERCASE Ctrl+U Converts all text to uppercase
lowercase Ctrl+L Converts all text to lowercase
Trim — Removes leading and trailing whitespace from each line
Strip — Removes all leading whitespace from each line
Join Lines Ctrl+J Joins all lines into one, separated by spaces
Sort Lines — Sorts lines alphabetically (ascending by default)
Reverse Lines — Reverses the order of lines

Sort options

Clicking Sort opens a dialog with:

  • Direction: Ascending / Descending
  • Start column (sort from character position N)
  • Case-insensitive, Numeric, Remove Duplicates options

Tips & gotchas

  • Transforms modify the clip’s content in the database. Undo with Ctrl+Z.
  • Transforms are only available for text-based clips (TXT, CODE, SCR) — not image clips.
  • Join Lines removes all line breaks and connects with a single space.
