Steps

  1. Step 1

    Grab what you need

    ⌃⌥S

    Take the grab as usual. It joins the list the paster shows.

  2. Step 2

    Click where it should go

    A terminal, an agent’s prompt, an issue, a doc.

  3. Step 3

    Open the paster

    ⌃⌥V

    Up to nine items beside the pointer: recent grabs first, then recent words.

  4. Step 4

    Paste it in the form you want

    ⇧1

    A number pastes that item as is. Hold ⇧ for its file path, for terminals and agents. Hold ⌥ for Markdown, like ![grab 3](path).

Tips

  • ↵ pastes the first item.
  • Words pasted with ⇧ become a note file, and you get its path.

Questions

Where are grabs saved?
On your Mac, in fab’s folder, one folder per take. ⇧ gives you the exact path.
