Troubleshooting

Paste is not working

Almost always a missing accessibility permission — here is the fix.

If pressing Return in the tray copies a snip but does not paste it into your app, SnipTray is missing accessibility permission.

  1. 1 Open System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility.
  2. 2 Make sure SnipTray is present and its toggle is on.
  3. 3 If it was already on, toggle it off and on again, then relaunch SnipTray.

Tip

The snip is still on your clipboard, so you can always paste manually with ⌘V while you sort out the permission.
