Hello,
Pinned Clips
Definition
The "Pinned Clips" feature has been implemented to allow to have most used clips (that are placed in different folders) in the same place. This allows you to quickly access them in the main window or in the "Paste Menu". In the "Paste Menu", the pinned clips are placed directly under the latest ones. So, if you pinned several original clips that are placed in the different subfolders, you can see them in the first list of the "Paste Menu" and this will help to avoid browsing different folders to always search for these clips.
Description
To pin a clip, click the "Pin clip" command in its context menu or use the "CTRL+L" hotkeys for the selected clip in the grid of the main window. In addition, you can pin the selected clips by moving them to the "Pinned Clips" folder using the "Drag-and-Drop" operation in the main window.
Since the ClipClip app simulates the work of File Explorer (this was implemented to avoid using any additional databases in the ClipClip app), the pinned clips are implemented like pinned programs or files in Windows OS. This means that the pinned clips are just shortcuts to the clips - the pinned clip and original (target) clip are different items. Therefore, you can rename or delete the pinned clips (shortcuts) in the “Pinned Clips” folder, and this will not affect the original clips.
NOTE: If the original (target) clip or its folder has been renamed, moved, or deleted, the pinned clip (shortcut) will be automatically deleted from the "Pinned Clips" folder.
How this works behind the scenes:
In fact, the pinned clips are real shortcuts to target files that represent clips. These shortcuts are stored on the hard drive in this folder:
C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Local\Vitzo\ClipClip\Favorite Clips
NOTE: If the latest clip is pinned, it will not be deleted automatically when a limit of the latest clips has been reached (check the “Maximum latest clips stored” option in the Configuration window). Although you can pin the latest clips, it is no good idea to do this since the latest clips are recognized as temporary data.
Best Regards,

Thanks for reply
No no, I don't want this method, as it also takes a long time
I made this video to clarify what I want,
I want a shortcut for copy the selected clips, as copying shortcut is Ctrl C, so copying the selected clips may be Ctrl Shift C or something else.
I don't want to use right click and then command (I used right click in video just for clarification). Furthermore, my text is not static to make a pinned clips, I always deal with different papers.
Thanks

Hello,
Thank you for your video.
As I understood, you want to use some key combination instead of the 'Copy selected clips' command (from the context menu) to insert the context of the selected clips into the clipboard to be able to paste it anywhere.
Right?
Yes, there is no such option in 'Hotkeys' settings because these settings have key combinations that are registered in the Windows OS.
In your case, the key combination will be local to the main window, so it should not be registered in Windows OS.
We would use the two keys for this feature. For example, 'CTRL+B' shortcuts. So you select clips with the mouse (or press 'CTRL+A' to select all clips) and after that, you press the 'CTRL+B' shortcuts to copy selected clips.
Is this appropriate for you?
Best Regards,
Vitzo Team.

Thanks for your consideration
Ok, any shortcut for copy selected clips, or you can add shortcut hotkey for this command in next version.
However, after selecting the clips, when I press Ctrl + B, nothing happen in ClipClip (combined clips formation), also in MS Word, just last clip is pasted.
