The Clippings menu () accesses clippings. Each menu item represents a file (or folder) in the Clippings folder.

A file will appear as a menu item. A folder will appear as a hierarchical menu, and the files inside it will be its menu items. The name of a file (or folder) is the name that will appear in the menu, except that certain names or part-names are hidden and used for determining the order of the menu, as follows:

• If a name starts with the prefix ##), where ## is a two-digit number (00-99), these digits are used to determine the position of this item in the menu and the prefix does not appear in the menu item’s name.

• A name ##)-*** will appear as a menu separator, again with its order determined by the two-digit number ##.

Here are the actions you can perform with the menu items in the Clippings menu:

• Choose a menu item to insert that clipping into the current script window.
• Hold down the Option key while choosing a menu item to open that clipping for editing.
• Hold down the Shift key while choosing a menu item to reveal the clipping file in the Finder.
