  1. Small, fast and convenient. PopClip is a great way to work with text on your Mac. Choose a second spelling language in prefs, to check spelling in two languages at once. Option for Light or Dark appearance. Option to display the Cut, Copy and Paste actions as icons. Option to make PopClip appear above or below the text.
  2. Nov 16, 2012 PopClip is a brilliant utility that mimics the popup that appears when you select text in iOS, but on your Mac. As well as allowing you to copy and paste, it now also allows you to install extension to do all sorts of things with the selected text. ICloud Web Apps are just like the standard apps you find on your Mac and iOS device - but on the web!

PopClip 2021.10 Multilingual macOS 5 mb PopClip puts Cut, Copy and Paste (and more!) at your fingertips, with a popover menu which appears when you select text. PopClip is a minimalist and unobtrusive status bar menu application designed to provide quick access to basic yet very useful text processing capabilities.

Mac::PopClip::Quick - quickly write PopClip extensions in Perl

First write a script:

Then install it as a PopClip Extension

PopClip For Mac is a commercial OS X utility from Pilotmoon Software that creates little popup menus when you highlight text. Please see http://pilotmoon.com/popclip/ for more details.

This module make it easier to write PopClip extensions in Perl. With this module you can turn a simple Perl script into an installable extension with a single command.

The resulting extension does not depend on the Mac::PopClip::Quick module, and can be safely distributed to systems that do not have this module installed.

Examples

In your script you should use Mac::PopClip::Quick.

From the command line you simply need to execute the script with the INSTALL_POPCLIP_EXTENSION environment variable set to a true value.

You can also create an executable suitable for distribution using the

Options can be set by passing them in the use statement:

They'll be passed through to the underlying Mac::PopClip::Quick::Generator class's constructor.

You can use after_action to control what your extension does with the script output, for example pasting it:

Core Options

extension_name

The name of the extension. By default this is the name of the script, minus any file extension (e.g. if your script if called foo.pl then the extension will be called foo by default.)

Mcafee

title

The title. By default, the same as the extension_name.

filename

The filename that the tarball will be created with. Should end with .popclipextz (though we don't force you to.)

By default a temporary filename is used if no value is provided. If the CREATE_POPCLIP_EXTENSION environment variable is set then this will be printed out.

extension_identifier

A unique identifier for your extension. This enables PopClip to identify if an extension it's installing should install as a new extension or replace an older version of the same extension.

By default this will generate something unique for you by using the unique ID of your Mac and the extension name. This is not suitable for distribution (if you change hardware you won't be able to use it anymore) and you should set a value for this attribute before distributing your extension.

Options Controlling PopClip Behavior

required_software_version

The required version of PopClip. By default this is 701.

regex

A string containing the regex that controls when the extension will be triggered. Note that this is not a Perl regex, but rather a string that PopClip can execute as a PCRE.

By default this is undefined, meaning no regex is used.

script_interpreter

The program you want to use to execute your Perl script (it can be handy to set this if you want to use a perl other than the system perl, e.g. a perl you installed with perlbrew)

By default this is /usr/bin/perl, the system perl.

blocked_apps

Array of bundle identifier strings (e.g. com.apple.TextEdit) of applications for which this extension's actions should not appear.

required_apps

Array of bundle identifier strings of applications (e.g. com.apple.TextEdit) that this extension's actions will appear in.

after_action

What the extension should do after it's executed. By default it is a undefined value, indicating that it does nothing. If your script produces output you'll probably want to set this to paste-result. A full range of options that PopClip supports can be found at https://github.com/pilotmoon/PopClip-Extensions#user-content-before-and-after-keys

before_action

What the extension should do before it's executed. By default it is a undefined value, indicating that it does nothing. A full range of options that PopClip supports can be found at https://github.com/pilotmoon/PopClip-Extensions#user-content-before-and-after-keys

Just the one:

popclip_text

Exported by default, this function simply returns the value of %ENV{POPCLIP_TEXT} (but gives better error messages if you mistype it and have use strict turned on.)

Since the Perl source code that is bundled in the generated extension is modified so it no longer loads this module (so that if you distribute your extension then your end users do not have to install this module) the code for this function will be directly inserted into the modified source code.

This function is defined with an empty prototype, meaning you can call it without having to use parentheses.

Popclip Mac Free Trial

This is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as the Perl 5 programming language system itself.

Several features of PopClip aren't yet supported.

Installing this extension leaves a copy of it (unavoidably, because there's no way to tell when PopClip is done with the file) in the temp directory.

If your code has Perl's subroutine signatures feature enabled at the time you import this module then the modified code will not properly define the prototype for the popclip_text function meaning you will be unable to call it without parentheses.
