# Clip Clap: Figma Plugin for Copying and Pasting Text
Clip Clap is a Figma plugin created to quickly copy and paste text within your designs. It is a drop-in replacement for [figma-copy-and-paste-text](https://github.com/kudakurage/figma-copy-and-paste-text) which is a great plugin, but is broken.
## Features
- Copy Text: Select text layers and copy their content to Figma's clipboard.
- Paste Text: Paste copied text into selected text layers, preserving formatting and styles.
## Installation
Open the Clip Clap plugin from the [Figma Community](https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1473395006391227968/clip-clap).
## Usage
1. Copying Text:
- Select the text layers you wish to copy.
- Run the Copy Text command from the Clip Clap plugin.
- The text content is now copied to your clipboard.
2. Pasting Text:
- Select the text layers where you want to paste the copied content.
- Run the Paste Text command from the Clip Clap plugin.
- The copied text will be pasted into the selected layers, maintaining the original formatting.
## Recommended Keyboard Shortcuts
For a more efficient workflow, consider setting up custom keyboard shortcuts for copying (⌥⇧⌘C) and pasting (⌥⇧⌘V):
### On macOS:
- Go to System Preferences › Keyboard › Shortcuts › App Shortcuts.
- Click the + button to add a new shortcut.
- For Copy Text:
- Application: Figma
- Menu Title: Plugins › Clip Clap › Copy Text
- Shortcut: ⌥⇧⌘C (Option + Shift + Command + C)
- For Paste Text:
- Application: Figma
- Menu Title: Plugins › Clip Clap › Paste Text
- Shortcut: ⌥⇧⌘V (Option + Shift + Command + V)
### On Windows:
- Go to Settings › Devices › Keyboard › Advanced keyboard settings.
- Add new shortcuts for the Clip Clap plugin commands as desired.

Note: Clip Clap was developed as a fixed version of [figma-copy-and-paste-text](https://github.com/kudakurage/figma-copy-and-paste-text)-plugin. Big thanks to [@kudakurage](https://github.com/kudakurage) for the original plugin!
