Hi Vernon,
> Will Quick Access Clipboard (QAC) be an app/product separate from Quick Clipboard Editor (QCE)? Or will QAC features discussed in your video (like "Groups") eventually be incorporated into a single product named QCE?
They will be two separate but complementary applications with possible integration between the two. QAC will not exista as it is now. The 2nd app couls be named "Quick Clipboard Ruler", or something similar. Let's call it QCR for now.

In the next release (probably today or tomorrow), QCE will never be in Read-only mode (except when showing the invisible characters). There will be two modes: "Synced" and "Editing". This will make the editor much more convenient, not having to click the "Edit Clipboard" button before making any change.
The status will be "Synced" when the editor content is identical to the Clipboard content. In that mode, any change to the Clipboard content will immediately be reflected in QCE. The content will be editable without having to click a button. As soon as the content of the editor differs from the Clipboard (after changing it in the editor or using one of the menu bar commands like "Change case", "Convert", "Sort", etc.), the mode will change to "Editing" and the "Save to Clipboard" will become enabled. Saving the editor to the Clipboard will revert QCE to the "Synced" mode and the "Save to Clipboard" button will be disabled.
