1.5 : The Clipboard Panel
The clipboard panel (Fig. 1.5.1) shows the current contents of Tracktion’s clipboard. Whenever copy
or cut operations are performed on items within Tracktion, they will be added to, or replace the existing
contents of the clipboard.
Tracktion’s clipboard can contain multiple items. This means that in addition to the standard editing
options typically associated with clipboards, such as copy, cut, and paste, you can use the clipboard to
efciently move large amounts of content between projects, and as a way of rapidly constructing basic
frameworks for songs.
A standard copy or cut operation will always replace the contents of the clipboard with the selected
item. If you wish to add multiple items to the clipboard, you should instead drag them in to the clipboard
panel.
Note: When the edit page is selected, you can view the clipboard contents by clicking the clipboard
button, and selecting the show clipboard contents option. The contents of the clipboard will be shown
in the quick nd panel on the left side of the screen. You can also use the keyboard shortcut: CTRL +
ALT + C (CMD + CTRL + C for Mac users).
If you right-click on an item in the clipboard panel, you will be presented with a pop-up menu (Fig.
1.5.2) containing the following options:
Remove Item From Clipboard: Use this option to remove a single item from the list.
Clear Clipboard: All clipboard contents will be cleared.
