# Copy Profiles

**Copy profiles** control what goes on the clipboard: verses, references, separators, and shortcuts.

## List

**Name** and **Shortcut** columns. One profile is the **Default copy profile** (**Default**): the **Copy** button on **Search**, and Ctrl+C on results. Ctrl+Space toggles the focused row. That profile and the last remaining profile cannot be deleted.

## Editor

- **Profile name** and **Default copy profile**
- **Shortcut** (optional) — the first chord requires at least **Ctrl**, **Shift**, or **Alt**, plus a **Key**. **Two-stroke second chord**: copying happens only after the second key, within 2 seconds; the app shows the pending chord. Without a second key, copying is immediate. Conflicts with another profile or a reserved command are rejected.

### Include verse

- **Wrap verse in quotation marks** — the verse is treated as a quotation: quotation marks and surrounding spaces come from the [typographic profile](http://bibleindex.app/en/docs/typographic-profiles).
- **Group consecutive verses** — verses that follow one another in the same chapter become a single block (one set of quotation marks), separated by a space. Otherwise, each verse is a separate block, joined by **Separate verses with**.
- **Replace paragraph breaks with** — line breaks in the source text are replaced by the chosen separator (**None**, **Space**, **New line**, **Double new line**, **Tab**, **Custom…**).
- **Text before verse** / **Text after verse** — text placed at that position on the clipboard (same separator choices).

### Include reference

- **Group consecutive references** — one citation for verses that follow one another (shape defined by the reference profile), instead of one reference per verse.
- **Group all references together** — all citations from the selection are combined once, positioned according to **Insert reference** relative to the copied text as a whole.
- **Insert reference**: 
    - **Before verse** / **After verse** — on the same line as the verse.
    - **Above verse** / **Below verse** — on a separate line.
    - **Between verse and reference** — separator on the same line; only for **Before verse** or **After verse**.
- **Text before reference**, **Text after reference** — same as for the verse, placed on the clipboard at that position.

### Reference profile

Defines the **shape** of the citation (book name, `:` or `,`, range dash, and so on). **From typographic profile** uses the language-linked choice; a named profile overrides it for this copy only. There is no screen in the app to create or edit these profiles.

The **Example** shows the result, with **Typographic profile for preview** chosen for the preview.
