Switching Between Modes

Keyboard Shortcut

Press Ctrl+M to toggle between Full and Compact modes.

Morph Transition

Switching between views uses a smooth morph animation:

  • No background flash during transition
  • Animated loader indicates the view is changing
  • Preserves scroll position and selection

Mode Persistence

  • Last used mode is remembered per window
  • Each view mode retains its own settings
  • Switching preserves search query and filter

Type Filter Chips

Both modes support quick filtering by content type:

Filter Description
All Show all clips
Text Plain text clips only
Code Code clips with syntax highlighting
Images Image clips only
Links URL clips only
Files File path clips only

Click a chip to filter. The chip shows a live count of matching clips.
