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. |
