Clipboard Actions

Copy PMIDs with Ctrl+C (e.g., from multiple Excel Worksheet cells), then use Pub-Xel to open PDFs or inspect them.

You can copy from Excel, Word, PubMed, or anywhere you see PMIDs or PubMed links.


Open Files

Role: Open PDFs that match the IDs you copied.

Copy IDs → click Open Files or press Alt+Shift+K.

Pub-Xel looks in your Main library (and secondary folders if you set them) for PMID.pdf files (e.g., 33301246.pdf).


Inspect Files

Role: Open a window to review your IDs, see PubMed info, open or export PDFs, or make a new worksheet.

Copy IDs → click Inspect Files or press Alt+Shift+J.

See Inspect Window.


View PubMed (hotkey)

Role: Open PubMed in your browser for copied PMIDs.

Press Alt+Shift+P.


Copying files directly from File Explorer is also supported.
