How can I add text in another app to Caboodle via a keyboard shortcut?
Caboodle has a couple of handy commands in the Services menu for all apps that support it. A command to add text selected in another app to Caboodle as a new entry, and another to do the reverse.
Follow these simple steps to add a keyboard equivalent of your choice to the Add Entry with Selection command:
- Open the Keyboard & Mouse system preferences.
- Go to the Keyboard Shortcuts tab.
- Click the "+" below the list.
- Select Application: All Applications.
- Type Menu Title Add Entry with Selection (exact wording and case is important).
- Press Keyboard Shortcut Cmd-Option-Ctrl-C (or a shortcut of your choosing).
- Click Add.
- Launch a new application that supports Services.
- Select some text, press Cmd-Option-Ctrl-C, and it appears as a new entry in Caboodle.
Note: the new keyboard shortcut won't show up in applications that are already running until after you quit and re-launch them.
