BTT Clipboard Manager Development & Wishlist

Copy the below text:

Terraform acquires a state lock to protect the state from being written

edit and save the changes - this will create a duplicate. Delete the original item and copy the same text again - the original text is not copied in CM (but it is in macOS's clipboard), instead the item shown in CM will be the edited item and not the original text.

Ah now I understand. The md5 for duplicate prevention was not updated correctly. Should be resolved in 5.271!

Superb, the 2nd issue is now resolved as well. Thank you!

I don't want to be impatient/cheeky, just asking - have you considered the following. In this reply I've added additional info.

yes, the „show clipboard manager“ action can already do this if the clipboard manager is closed, I‘ll soon update it to also work if the clipboard manger is already open

how do I make the window to close automatically once I click outside?

I think this setting will do it:

it needs to be configured like this, I'll soon update the settings UI a bit to make it more clear.

Thank you but it doest seem to work either. All it does is just put it behind the active window.

Hey Andreas, Also not getting the window to close when clicking outside its window based on your settings in v 5.273

Also screenprint isn't shown in clipboard.

make sure the pin icon/button is not activated, that one overrides any other setting related to this

isn't making any difference unfortunately

Weird it really should, this has been working for a long time.

Could you post a screenshot of your settings, then I can try with the same.

as req.:

Hey Andreas, I found out that the default Macos shortcuts don't show up in de clipboardmanager. If I use the BTT action Capture Screenshot (Configurable)
the screenshot shows. Maybe this helps to find the inconsistancy in behaviour.

Something seems weird, I'm using that system shortcut constantly and it's always showing up.
Which version of BTT are you on?

BetterTouchTool Version: 5.273

Just to be sure, you mean one of these two shortcuts?

And in your BetterTouchTool Clipboard Manager this is not pressed? (for the closing issue)

My MacOS defaults are:

But now I know I use the BTT action. By the way, the shortcuts work fine with Rainclip clipboardmanager.

Edit: Closing issue seems solved after BTT restart.

Do you have the Rainclip clipboard manager running in parallel or did you just use it for testing? (Running multiple at the same time can cause conflicts)
