Keyboard shortcuts and search
Every global shortcut can be changed or switched off in Settings → Keyboard Shortcuts & Access. If a combination cannot be used, Maclip says so and asks for another.

|---|---|
app:Safari | Clips copied in Safari |
type:code | Clips of one type, such as code |
tag:work | Clips with that tag |
board:Snippets | Clips in that board |
is:pinned | Pinned clips |

Combine them freely: app:Safari type:link invoice. Plain words also match by meaning, so “receipt” can find a clip that says “invoice”. All of it runs on your Mac.
