What's New: Bulk Actions for Multi-Select
Kurippa has had multi-select for a while: enter multi-select mode, mark a few clipboard items, and act on them together. But “together” only ever meant one thing — merge. Selecting a handful of items and pressing Enter jumped you straight into the separator picker to combine them into a single paste.
Merge is useful, but it’s rarely the only thing you want to do with a group of items. The latest build fixes that.
Enter now opens an action menu
With 2 or more items selected, pressing Enter opens a small menu instead of assuming you meant merge. It offers three actions:
- Merge and paste — the flow you already know: pick a separator, and the selected items combine into one paste.
- Pin all — pins every selected item at once, so a whole group jumps to the top and sticks around.
- Move to folder — sends the entire selection into a folder. Choose an existing folder, or pick “New folder…” to create one and move the whole set into it in a single step.
Selecting exactly one item is unchanged — Enter still pastes it immediately. The menu only appears once you have a real group to act on.
Keyboard-first, of course
The menu is built to be driven without touching the mouse — the same feel as the pinned-header confirmation menu:
- ↑ ↓ — move between the three actions
- Enter — run the highlighted action
- M — merge · P — pin all · F — move to folder (direct mnemonics, no need to arrow over first)
- Esc — cancel and close
And if you do reach for the trackpad, hovering over an action highlights it, so the mouse and keyboard never disagree about what’s selected.
A note on tiers
Pin all works on the free tier — pinning has always been free in Kurippa, and that doesn’t change for a group. Merge and paste and Move to folder are part of the paid version, same as their single-item counterparts.
It’s a small menu, but it turns multi-select from a merge shortcut into a real bulk-management tool: gather the items once, then merge, pin, or file them away — whichever you actually meant.
