System tray & keyboard shortcuts

Icon States

Clipshot uses five tray states:

Sending	This device is sending clipboard content	animated orange icon
Receiving	This device is receiving clipboard content	animated blue icon
No peers	Sync is enabled but nothing is connected	static red cross
Paused	You paused sync manually	static red icon

The tray icon tooltip is Clipshot - P2P Clipboard Sync.

Tray menu items:

Open Dashboard
Copy Last Synced
Pause Sync / Resume Sync — label changes dynamically
Upgrade to Pro on Lite plans
Quit

Platform behavior:

macOS: the tray menu opens on right-click
Linux and Windows: the tray menu opens on left-click

On macOS, the Dock icon has its own menu:

Open Dashboard
Toggle Sync
separator
Quit

Note: the Dock menu does not include Copy Last Synced or Upgrade to Pro.

Dock Progress Bar

During active transfers, Clipshot shows overall transfer progress on the app window taskbar/dock indicator where the platform supports it.

What it does:

shows combined progress for all active transfers
clears automatically when transfers finish
on macOS, Clipshot also prevents idle sleep while a transfer is running

Keyboard shortcuts

Ctrl+B: Toggle Sync

By default, Ctrl+B pauses or resumes clipboard sync.

You can change this shortcut in Settings → General → Toggle Sync Hotkey.

If the hotkey changes, restart Clipshot.

Header: Pause/Resume button

The top header shows a sync status pill plus an action button.

Status labels you may see:

Ready
Sending
Receiving
No peers
Paused

Button behavior:

when sync is active, the button says Pause
when sync is paused, the button says Resume
when the state is No peers, only the status pill is shown

Clipboard Toggle Hotkey

Default: Ctrl+A — toggles clipboard between image/file content and the sync file path. Useful for pasting images directly into chat apps. Change in Settings → General → Clipboard Toggle Hotkey.
