Select captures

  1. ⌘-click captures to add or remove them, or Shift-click to select a range.

  2. Or drag a box from empty space, or press ⌘A to select everything in view.

  3. Arrow keys move the selection. Shift-arrows extend it.

  4. Press Esc or click empty space to clear.

  1. Long-press a capture and tap Select.

  2. Tap others to add them. Select all is at the top.

  3. Tap Done to finish.

Act on them

  1. With two or more selected, use the bar at the foot of the library: Pin selected, Add to space, Edit tags, Copy and Trash.

  2. For more, click the count, such as 3 selected. Create stack and Invert selection are there. You can also right-click a selected capture.

  1. Tap Pin, Space, Tag or Stack on the bulk bar.

  2. Tap More for the rest, including Delete. Delete asks first and moves them to the Trash for 30 days.

On Mac, a single selected capture shows no bar. Use its right-click menu, the inspector or the keys.

Keys on Mac

  • P pins or unpins.
  • S adds to a space.
  • T edits tags.
  • L opens Remind… See Later and reminders.
  • C or ⌘C copies.
  • Delete or ⌘⌫ moves them to the Trash. ⌘Z undoes it.

Letter keys act on the selected captures, not the card under the pointer. Select first.

Questions

I pressed P with the pointer over a card and nothing happened.

Select the card first. On Mac, letter keys act on the selection, not the card under the pointer.

How do I select everything but a few?

Select those few, then choose Invert selection from the count menu on the selection bar.

Where is Create stack?

On Mac, in the count menu on the selection bar, or the right-click menu. On iPhone and iPad, tap Stack on the bulk bar.
