Where do you find the Clipboard History item?

billyfoxtrot-

I believe you have to enable the "Shelf Module" in addition to the "Clipboard Module".

You also have to go to 'Clipboard' in the Preferences and enable 'Capture History' for however many items you want to keep.

Well, maybe I'm crazy. I'm not finding it. I've got Capture History marked, I've restarted QS...still can't seem to get it working. I'm typing Clipboard into the first area, but the only thing I get is 'type clipboard'. Argh.

You need to install both the Shelf and Clipboard plugins, then enable the Quicksilver > QSPresetShelves catalog entry -- that's where the Clipboard History lives. After all, what would a killer Quicksilver feature be without three layers of obfuscation to make it feel even more like buried treasure...

@ billyfoxtrot

I had the same problem. You need to go to the catalog and refresh QSPresetShelves. It should update and show two items. Now you can invoke the main window and type in "Clipboard History."

It's even a bit worse: after enabling shelf and clipboard plugins, and activating clipboard history in QS's Plugins/Clipboard Preferences, you need to actually copy something to the clipboard. Then you can do the catalog scan of QSPresetShelves, and Clipboard History will be available for triggers.

ah so.

The clipboard trick is pretty useful.

I understand why they don't have all the plugins enabled by default, but they should at least make a list of *the really cool ones* and what to enable to get those actions.

Thanks to all the comments here I got it working.
