... And 5.734 adds a new prefix "content:", when used only the content of the pasteboard item will be searched
Thank you. I still think there are a lot cases where this could lead to the same unwanted behavior, since there any infinite different app names.
Thank you, this I think might solve my issues even if it is not straightforward.
The "content:" prefix does not filter-out the screenshots from apps which have the searched string in the name and again it is matching partial names, e.g.:
I'm searching for the last item, but again items from Teams are in the list.
unfortunately I can not fix that with the current architecture because the image description is part of the content. Maybe at some point!
Hi Andreas,
I found another app generating duplicate items - MS Excel.
Hey @Andreas_Hegenberg , were you able to check on that? Backspace is still deleting items.
Is there anyway to control the transparency of the Clipboard Manager window frame? It seems to be much more transparent than sidebars in other apps (Finder, Mail, etc).
I’m not sure if this something recent, or if the CM window almost always just showed up over top of things that didn’t make a difference before for me, but this morning I’ve been noticing a ton of color and shapes show through it that makes it hard to read.
For example, compare how much more comes through the active BTT CM window vs the active Mail sidebar:
I’m still on macOS 15.7.1, not on 26 yet.
there has not been a change to the window style (it also has not been adapted to Tahoe yet which I plan to do at some point).
However there is a hidden setting you can use to make it use a slightly different background style:
defaults write com.hegenberg.BetterTouchTool BTTClipboardReduceTransparency -bool YES
Thanks! The hidden setting improves things a lot for me.
The window must have just normally appeared for in front of other things that didn’t show through as much. It wasn’t nearly as noticeable when the content/screen/windows behind it were more uniform or just text, etc.
Thanks again.
Great! Always nice if a setting I randomly added years ago can help somebody ![]()
