Features & Improvements

  • Modifier-held selection triggers: Trigger popup actions conditionally by holding modifier keys (⌘, ⌥, ⇧, ⌃, or fn) while making text selections, allowing quick contextual actions without cluttering normal text selection.
  • Standalone AI actions on popup bar: Place custom AI actions directly on the main popup bar alongside standard actions for instant one-click access.
  • Command Palette toggle: Choose whether to display the command palette (⌘) button at the end of the popup bar under Customize → Behavior, while retaining the keyboard shortcut (⌥⌘C).
  • Screen text capture (OCR): Draw a region on screen to capture text using ScreenCaptureKit; the selected text feeds directly into the popup action bar.
  • Direct extension bundle installation: Support drag-and-drop and double-click installation of .openclipext bundles directly.
  • Contextual pill placement: Choose automatic, left, or right placement for the contextual pill, defaulting to Auto.
  • Rule matching by process name and path: Target apps without bundle identifiers using their process name or executable path.
  • Customize polish: Inline renaming, AI preset deletion, and drag-and-drop polish in the action editor.
  • UI & accessibility polish: Larger popup bar metrics with 15 pt labels, refined hover highlights, contextual action and command palette controls in Settings, polished button styling, and unified menu bar status layout.

Fixes & Stability

  • Hardened selection and clipboard delivery across macOS apps with correlated diagnostics.
  • Improved popup eligibility in other apps' fullscreen Spaces. A popup detected outside the active Space now gets one fresh-panel recovery attempt while its source app remains frontmost.
  • Restored AI group visibility and preset round trips so group membership behaves consistently.
  • Reliable screen-capture crosshair cursor over the selection overlay.
  • Updated OpenSelection to 2.15.3 to bound Accessibility inspection and menu traversal workers during stalled app responses.
  • Retained trace-linked placement and recovery diagnostics while reducing routine selection log noise.
  • Enhanced search palette layout, context indicators, and row interactions.
