ClipBook is desiged to be a keyboard-centric application. It means that you can work with it using only your keyboard. There is no need to use your mouse at all.

With a set of predefined keyboard shortcuts, you can show/hide your clipboard history, navigate through the clipboard history items, select the required history item, edit its content, delete or paste it to the active application.

Here is a list of the default keyboard shortcuts in ClipBook:

Open ClipBook	`⇧⌘V`
Close ClipBook	`⇧⌘V` `⌘W` `Esc`
Select next history item	`↑`
Select previous history item	`↓`
