Cleaning the Scratchpad

[Peace Keeper]

I like the Scratchpad to cut'n'paste things from outside to bbedit to see either raw material or keep something in mind during my work in the termanial.

I understand that bbedit is storing the scratchpad  and so old stuff is also coming up. This is something realised, while the clipboard is staffed. is there a setting "to clean" the scratchpad  every time you quit BBEdit ?

You can have BBEdit run a script by creating a folder ~/Library/Application Support/BBEdit/Shutdown Items and then adding an AppleScript like this to it. Open Script Editor, paste this in, and then save it to the Shutdown Items folder as a .scpt file.

tell application "BBEdit"
set the contents of the scratchpad document to ""
end tell
