ASCII.jp A thorough explanation of the iPhone application "Copied" that can easily handle a large amount of copy and paste

When collecting information or creating materials, copy and paste is often used between multiple apps. This work is more convenient with a PC that can use a mouse and a large screen display, but using the God app on an iPad makes it quite comfortable. This time, let's thoroughly introduce how to use the clipboard extension application "Copied".

You can easily collect and organize information on the go!

You can record multiple copy histories and draw them freely

Sometimes you use your iPad to create materials on the go. Unlike when writing a manuscript, you will go back and forth while switching between browsers, Excel, Word and text editors. This is a very tedious task.

That's where a clipboard extension app comes into play. Since the history of copied data is recorded, it is convenient to be able to copy continuously. When pasting, you can select from the history and copy continuously. It keeps the back-and-forth between apps to a minimum.

After installing "Copied", let's start by copying text from the browser. When you start "Copied" in that state, the contents of the clipboard are registered. When copying from a browser, it is convenient that not only the text but also the URL of the source is registered.

You can check the copied history from the "Copied" tab. Any item can be copied and reused. A copy button is also provided, but the convenient thing about "Copied" is that you can copy it by sliding the item to the right. You can work smoothly.

Seamless copy and paste on two screens is super convenient

If you want to use "Copied", you want to use the iPad's two-screen display. Either “Split View” or “Slide Over” is OK. For example, if you display the browser and "Copied" separately, you can copy one after another. No need to switch between apps or access widgets. This feature is very useful, so please give it a try.

More unique is drag and drop. You can also register by selecting text or images and dragging and dropping them into "Copied".

When you select and copy a string, it is automatically registered in "Copied".

If you select a character string and press and hold it, it will float, so drop it in "Copied" and it will be registered.

You can also register images by long-pressing and then dragging and dropping.

Next, let's paste it into a document. Basic operation is the same. Slide the copied item to the right or tap the copy button to paste it into a text editor application. Even if you do a copy operation with "Copied", the position of the text editor's cursor is maintained, so you don't have to worry about extra work. Furthermore, if it is troublesome to bring up the menu and tap "Paste", it is also possible to paste by dragging and dropping the same as when copying.

By the way, if you slide the item to the left, in addition to the copy button, a share button, a trash can button, a list button, etc. appear. With the free version, you can record up to 10 copy histories. If you copy more than that, the old ones will disappear, so it's a good idea to delete unnecessary history.

If you slide to the right, it will be copied, so you can paste it where you are typing

Any data can be pasted at the cursor position by dragging and dropping

Slide the item to the left to reveal four menu buttons

Continuous copy registration on 1 screen and simultaneous use of 3 screens are also possible

By tapping "Browser" from the main menu, you can enter the URL and browse the web page with the built-in browser. . In this case, you can continuously copy and register data without switching applications or displaying them at the same time. However, you have to copy the URL and it doesn't have the convenience features of Chrome. You don't need to force yourself to use it.

Tap "Browser" and copy the URL to "Web Address"

With the built-in browser, you can copy one after another

It is also possible to use 3 apps in parallel by using "Split View" and "Slide Over" at the same time. For example, you can use a text editor and browser in "Split View" and call "Copied" in "Slide Over" when needed. It feels a little forced, but it's convenient to be able to continuously copy and paste without switching apps.

"Copied" is displayed with "Slide Over" where the text editor and Safari are split.

You can paste any item and continue working

Some functions are available from the original keyboard. First, open "Keyboard" from "Settings" of iOS and tap "Add new keyboard". Check "Copied" under "Third party keyboards".

After that, if you switch the keyboard from the globe icon to "Copied" on the input screen, the copied data will be displayed side by side like a card. It feels good to be able to input bang bang just by tapping. However, it is difficult to decide which is easier to switch keyboards or call "Copied" with "Slide Over".

"Settings" -> "Keyboard" -> "Add New Keyboard" -> "Third Party Keyboard" -> Check "Copied"

Switch the keyboard to "Copied" from the globe icon

The copied data is displayed, and you can paste it by tapping it.

If you upgrade for 360 yen, the limit on the number of copies will be removed. In addition, you can synchronize with iCloud and use the copied data on other terminals, and you can use the list function. You can try it for free first, and then purchase it if you want to copy more than 10 copies. This price is a bargain because it is a one-time purchase, not a subscription.

Tap the link "Copied+" to open the purchase screen

The above is the manual for "Copied+". Consecutive copy and consecutive paste on two screen display is very convenient. In addition to copying sentences and images, if you copy proper nouns and unique phrases that are not worth registering in a dictionary, you will be able to input them easily. If you feel that copying and pasting work on your iPad is troublesome, this is a god app that you should definitely try.
