Recipes

Clipboard actions

Copy, paste, and transform data between Nimbus and any application with zero friction. Every recipe is a single keystroke away.

Copy selection as plain text

Strip formatting instantly. Highlight any block, hit Ctrl+Shift+C, and paste into email, Slack, or a terminal.

{ "action": "copy-plain", "source": "selection" }

Paste and auto-format

Nimbus detects JSON, CSV, or TSV on paste and renders a structured preview. Press Ctrl+Shift+V to trigger the smart parser.

{ "action": "paste-structured", "formats": ["json","csv","tsv"] }

Append to scratchpad

Build a running log without leaving your flow. Every Ctrl+Shift+A appends the current selection to a persistent scratchpad buffer.

{ "action": "append-scratchpad", "mode": "newline" }

Clipboard history ring

Nimbus keeps the last 20 clipboard entries in a ring buffer. Cycle with Ctrl+Shift+[ and Ctrl+Shift+]. Entries persist across restarts.

All clipboard recipes respect OS-level privacy controls. Nimbus never reads clipboard contents until you explicitly invoke an action.
