Clipper

Unakite provides a light-weight clipping tool for you to quickly grab almost any information as you browse the web.

Collect Snippets

Before reading the following information, please take a look at this detailed description of snippets, options, and criteria.

As mentioned at the beginning, there are two light-weight ways in Unakite for you to collect information snippets into the task you're working on. After enabling Unakite on a certain domain, you could access the clipping tool by:

Highlighting Text

When you encounter some text you'd like to clip, simply use your cursor to select (highlight) it and click the clip button that says "Save to U" to collect.

Drawing a Bounding Box

Sometimes it's easier to just draw a box around the area you would like to clip. Fortunately, Unakite supports just that! Simply hold the Option (on macOS) or Alt (on Windows and Linux) key along with holding down the mouse button, and draw a bounding box around the area of interest, and click the clip button to collect it.

Collect Options & Criteria Through the Clipper

The clipping tool is designed to minimize your cognitive effort when collecting information, namely you'll be able to save a snippet with only one click of the clip button without thinking about whether it's a potential option or criterion in the first place. However, if you know for sure that the snippet you're about to collect is an option or a criterion, you can mouse over the clip button to reveal three additional buttons:

Clicking the (snippet button) will save the snippet like in the previous case.

Clicking the (option button) will save the snippet as an option and automatically put it in the current comparison table as a new row header.

Similarly, clicking the (criterion button) will save the snippet as an criterion and automatically put it in the current comparison table as a new column header.
