But I reckon this is an inherent pdf problem … apart from that, CopyQ has become a very powerful efficiency booster for my manual terminology extraction. The only thing I find a bit cumbersome so far is the fact that line breaks are copied from pdf documents, like in line 9 to 11 above, so that these items are split to two different cells when pasting them into a table format. When you start working on a new assignment, it is a good idea to start CopyQ, delete all the old items from the history (CTRL+A, delete) and start from scratch. Once you have started it, it becomes “invisible” unless you open it clicking on the CopyQ icon in the tray. You can copy and paste the items at a later stage, one by one or all in one go, for example to an Excel or Word file or any table format terminology management system you may use.ĬopyQ is one of them: it is open source and runs on Windows, Mac and Linux computers, has lots of storage space for both text and images (you can set the maximum number of entries you want) and even lets you edit and sort the clipboard content before pasting it somewhere else. until you delete them), even after reboot. In contrast to the ordinary Windows clipboard, the items are then permanently stored (i.e. And here it is:Ĭlipboard management tools store everything you copy using CTRL+C into a list, your clipboard. I was browsing in preparation (plus my colleague Angelika Eberhardt kept insisting that “there must be a better way to do this”) that I started to look around for a better solution. But the other day I was so fed up with hopping back and forth between my glossary file and the pdfs, webpages etc. When I prepare for a conference, I like to add expressions to a list and then look up equivalents, sort and categorise them later.
