Keyboard shortcuts
Every move, one key away.
Clip without reaching for the mouse. Here are Vclip's keys for your computer.
Vclip is for computers, so these are the keys you'll use there.
Clip and save
These work on any page with a video, whenever you're not typing in a box.
- AltI
- Pin the start where the video is. Opens the clip panel if it's closed.
- AltO
- Pin the end where the video is.
- AltS
- Save the clip, in the size you picked.
- AltP
- Screenshot the frame on screen, copied and ready to paste.
In the clip panel
Once the panel is open, a few more keys make it exact.
- ←→
- Nudge a handle by a tenth of a second. Click the start or end handle first.
- Shift←→
- Nudge by a whole second.
- Enter
- Set a time you typed in the Start or End box.
- Esc
- Cancel a clip while it saves, or put back the old time while typing one.
Changing your shortcuts
- Click Vclip's icon in your browser's toolbar, then Change shortcuts.
- Find Vclip, click the pencil next to a shortcut, and press the keys you'd like instead.
Or open your browser's shortcuts page directly. Browsers don't let websites link to it, so copy this into the address bar:
chrome://extensions/shortcuts
In Edge, it's edge://extensions/shortcuts.
If a key is already taken
Your browser gives each shortcut to one extension only. If another extension already has one of Vclip's keys, Vclip listens for that key on the page itself, so it still works whenever you're not typing in a box. Vclip's toolbar button always shows the keys you have.
