Monitor Clipboard Text Bible References

With clipboard monitoring feature enabled, UBA users can quickly open bible reference(s) on desktop and webtop versions.

Enable Clipboard Monitoring Feature

Clipboard Monitoring feature is disabled by default. Users need to enable it manually.

You can enable Clipboard Monitoring feature either:

via material menu, UniqueBible > Clipboard Monitoring > Enable (available on desktop versions on Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, and cross-platform webtop version)

or via System Tray menu, Monitor Clipboard Text Bible References > Enable (available available on desktop versions on Windows, macOS and Linux desktop which supports system tray)

Remarks: Clipboard Monitoring feature does not require System Tray. Therefore, Linux desktop users or webtop users can use clipboard monitoring feature without enabling system tray.
