 ===== Trigger Clipboard =====
-The Trigger Clipboard is not a clipboard per se, but a reference to a clipboard, either the System Clipboard, a past clipboard in the Clipboard History, or a Named Clipboard.  It is the clipboard referenced by a [[trigger:Clipboard Filter]] menu selection in the Clipboard Switcher.
+The Trigger Clipboard is not a clipboard per se, instead it is a reference to a selected clipboard. Usually it will be the selected clipboard in the Clipboard History Switcher or Named Clipboard Switcher window that you wish to act on with a [[trigger:Clipboard Filter]]. It will be either a past clipboard in the Clipboard History Switcher, or a Named Clipboard in the Named Clipboard Switcher, or if none of them are selected it will refer to the System Clipboard.
+For example, if you are viewing the Clipboard History Switcher, and select the third last clipboard entry and then choose a Clipboard Filter from the Gear menu, the Trigger Clipboard will refer to the selected clipboard.
