JDownloader: Paste the link automatically from the clipboard

In JDownloader, a function can be activated with just one click, which can automatically insert links from the clipboard. How this works and where the feature can be useful is explained in this practical tip.

JDownloader: Read links from clipboard automatically

In order for your JDownloader to insert links automatically, you only need to make a small setting. Otherwise you would have to click "Links" -> "Add Links" -> "Add URL". To save a little time, do the following:

1. Click on "Settings" and select the Toolbar Manager in the tree structure on the left.
2. Check the "Clipboard Observation" in the Toolbar Manager. Now you can easily switch the function on or off with a click in your toolbar (see screenshot). Otherwise JDownloader would read every link you copy.
3. Now it is enough, for example, to copy a link from a file hoster using "CTRL + C" and you can start the download in JDownloader.
