Collect several items in the Stack

⌥⌘S opens the queue. Everything you copy while it is open lands there.

The Stack is a queue you fill once and unload one item at a time. It is the answer to "copy five things, paste them into five fields".

  1. Press ⌥⌘S. The panel opens beside your work.
  2. Copy the things you need, in the order you will use them. While the Stack is open, every ⌘C lands in it.
  3. Click into the first field and press ⌘V. The first item is pasted and crossed off.
  4. Keep pressing ⌘V down the form.

The header counts what is left. Click any row to restart the queue from there; drag rows to reorder them; press ✕ on a row to drop it.

Getting things in

  • ⌘C while the Stack is open, in the default mode.
  • Drag files, images or text onto the panel, at the position you drop them.
  • Screenshots land in the Stack automatically while it is open.
  • ⌃⌥⌘C copies the selection, splits it by lines and adds each line as its own item.

Getting things out

  • ⌘V pastes the next item and consumes it.
  • Drag a row out into another app. Dragging does not consume it.
  • ⌥⌘S again minimises the panel to a small pile, and once more closes it.

The Stack holds plain text by design. A heading copied from a document arrives as words, not as a heading.
