This morning1 I submitted PopClip 2019.9.1 to the Mac App Store for review, and also made it available to download from my website.

The update cleans up the two problems I described in my previous post.

More ways to activate Paste

It turns out lots of you like to do this by double-clicking. But you can also long press.

There are now three ways to make PopClip appear when you want to paste in an empty text field:

  1. Long press (hold the mouse button for 0.5 seconds);
  2. Shift-click (click while holding down the Shift (⇧) key);
  3. Double-click.

Methods 1 and 2 will also summon PopClip at an insertion point between characters.

AppleScript works again

The AppleScript interface is back up and running. I’m sorry for the interruption.

Also…

While I was at it, I added basic support for Microsoft Edge browser, and did something about PopClip’s over-eagerness to show up in Microsoft Excel.

I still have a list glitches with particular apps to sort out, but that’s it for now. Keep letting me know your thoughts about PopClip.2
