Practical guides to everyday Mac tasks, from clipboard and screenshot work to developer tools, calendars, and custom AI.
How to Translate Selected Text on Mac with a Shortcut
To translate selected text on Mac, highlight a passage and use the translation action in the app's context menu when available. For a keyboard workflow, configure Frset's Translate Selection shortcut, select copyable text in another app, and invoke the shortcut to open the source and translation together.
Scrolling Screenshots on Mac: Capture Web Pages and App Windows
To take a scrolling screenshot on Mac, choose the method for the content you need. A browser's full-page screenshot can capture a long web page. For a chat, document, or list inside an app, use a scrolling capture tool that combines overlapping views of the selected area.
How to Exclude Apps from Clipboard History on Mac
To stop selected apps from entering Frset's clipboard history, add them to Ignore App in settings. This limits future recording from matching source apps. It does not erase older entries, remove the current system clipboard content, or change how another clipboard tool records copies.
Find Frset Screenshots by the Words Inside Them
To find a screenshot by words inside it in Frset, enable Screenshot search, capture an eligible screenshot with Frset, and search after recognition finishes. The feature is disabled by default. It creates a searchable text index for supported Frset screenshots; it is not a search engine for every image file on your Mac.
How to Copy and Paste Multiple Items on Mac
To copy several passages before pasting on Mac, use a clipboard history tool to keep each copy. To insert those passages together, choose a tool with multi-selection and combined text copying. In Frset, selected text items are joined with line breaks, so you can collect links or short excerpts and paste them into one note or message.
Translate Text on Your Mac Screen—even When You Can’t Select It
To translate words on a Mac screen, first check whether you can select them. Selectable text can use macOS's translation menu. For an image, scanned page, app dialog, or paused video frame, use Live Text on a saved image or a screen translation tool that recognizes the words before translating them.
How to Copy Text from an Image or Screenshot on Mac
To copy text from an image on Mac, open it in Preview and try selecting the words with Live Text. If the words are inside an app, slide, or paused video and cannot be selected directly, screenshot OCR can recognize a chosen area and turn its visible text into an editable result.
Clipboard History on Mac: View, Search, and Reuse Past Copies
To view clipboard history on a Mac running macOS Tahoe 26 or later, open Spotlight with Command-Space, then press Command-4. On earlier macOS versions, a clipboard manager can record copies for later use. Either way, history must have been recording when you copied the item: installing an app now cannot restore an earlier, overwritten copy.
