@Andreas_Hegenberg Thanks. That was also the issue I mentioned above.
4.989 (uploading) should improve the sizing & state saving logic. The checkboxes for the sidebars are gone, instead it remembers the last used state per configuration

Confirmed this is fixed in 4.989
添加新片段的弹出框在黑暗模式下显示有问题，文字和背景都显示为白色，
The pop-up box for adding a new fragment has a display problem in dark mode. The text and background are both displayed as white.
that is already fixed
The new clipboard / snippet manager is cool stuff, Andreas!
I still find one problem: I have set up shortcut A, which opens/closes a window with two columns
And shortcut B, which opens/closes all three columns elsewhere on the screen.
This basically works. But only individually. Shortcut B triggered several times in succession always shows the correct three-column window. But shortcut B triggered after shortcut A shows the window in the correct position but the leftmost column is hidden.
Could you check whether it behaves as expected on 4.991 ? (uploading now)
I couldn't reproduce the issue here but I feel there were small timing issues. Maybe that is resolved now. This version should also store the "pinned" state per configuration.
Yes, 4.991 has solved the problem, thank you very much.
Now that BTT has a fully-featured snippet manager, the only thing missing is the final development into a small notes app. 
I don't know if you want that, or if it's even possible. But if the editor had similar possibilities as TextEdit to edit text, that would of course be great.
I would also like it if I could create a new note (empty) in a snippet folder.
Yes maybe better editing options will be added in the next versions. I'll need to rethink the editing part when in snippet groups, but it should be doable!
4.992 also adds a new action "Paste Snippet By UUID" (I'll make this easier in the future)

Categories for saved snippets is nr 1 on my wishlist.
I recently discovered an app called xHistory that saves all the terminal commands you have used. I dont know how complex that would be to implement. But theres so many commands for different CLI's, and macos. Its really nice to be able to search xHistory to see which command you used before. And its so easy do misstakes on terminal commands.
Im always trying to get BTT to do as many functions as possible. You quickly end up with a huge amount of productivity apps in the menubar. Dropover, Popclip, Keyboardmaestro etc.
But dropover and popclip is two apps that you should check out for more complex copy/paste actions. Not thinking your going to add everything that they have. But with your productivity rate you probably have added all functions from those in a couple of years. hehe
Edit: Also another thought might be support for CSV importing snippets? Would probably make it a lot faster to edit and group snippets. And you could also share for ex a CSV snippet list for terminal commands.
quick question, can you clarify what categories for snippets would be and how they would differ from the snippet groups that are already integrated?
The next alpha later today will allow to filter by app, then you can create a saved search for terminal.
I checked it again. But did not see that you could do that. Its a bit unclear. I thought the snippets "+" just created a snippet. And there is no way to add a snippet. But i saw now that you can drag a copied item to the snippet category.
So i guess that works fine. Maybe you should have a right click option of "add to snippet category/folder" in the main list. It might be easier to understand the options then. Just a thought.
My snippet categoris/folders would mainly be:
Terminal commands,
Email replies,
Personal info when autofill doesnt work or when needed to be typed out (mail adresses, adresses, phonenumbers etc)
Preformatted entries to put in different note apps might be convient to store there. Packinglists, small projects, invoicing. So you can just paste it and start filling in the notes.
我不知道如何多选记录，进行合并复制到剪切板。现在我多选后回车，执行的是粘贴的操作，且现在选中多个按回车粘贴，会触发多个enter输入，导致在在对应应用中触发enter的动作。我只是想合并粘贴只相当于cmd+V。刚刚我又发现一个bug，我选中多个条目进行回车粘贴时，粘贴的内容时不对的
AI English：
I don't know how to multi-select records and perform merged copying to the clipboard. Now when I multi-select and press Enter, it executes the paste operation. And currently, when multiple items are selected and Enter is pressed for pasting, it will trigger multiple Enter inputs, resulting in triggering the Enter action in the corresponding application. I just want merged pasting to be equivalent to cmd+V. Just now I found another bug. When I select multiple entries and press Enter for pasting, the pasted content is incorrect.
我希望search支持一些稍微复杂的条件搜索，比如 ：与 、 或、甚至是正则表达式搜索。 其实我是想分类成比如：文本、图片、文件、office、代码。
而目前我只能使用单个的关键字，比如我想筛选所有的文件不知道怎么搜索。现在只能通过单个的文件后缀搜索并保存为搜索条件。比如我要搜索所有的链接内容，我输入了关键字：http，但是我只希望搜索到以http开头的真正的链接，而不包含文本中间的链接。
AI Translate：
I hope search supports some slightly more complex conditional searches, such as "and", "or", and even regular expression searches. In fact, I want to classify things into categories such as text, pictures, files, office documents, and code. At present, I can only use a single keyword. For example, when I want to filter all files, I don't know how to search. Currently, I can only search by a single file suffix and save it as a search condition. For example, when I want to search for all link content, I entered the keyword "http", but I only hope to find real links starting with "http" and not those in the middle of the text.
unfortunately merging stuff is very complicated. It would only work for basic text, but I can add an option for that.
You can also drag multiple items out of the clipboard manager, then the system will handle it via the standard functions and BTT does not need to interfere.
In case you don't need the new lines / enter presses you can call this terminal command (quit BTT first):
defaults write com.hegenberg.BetterTouchTool BTTDisableNewlinePaste YES
I think that on version 4.9951 (2024121903), you can temporarily "break" the ... visibility of the items and the preview panel if you very quickly toggle multiple times the clipboard, you will end up with something like:
The solution is to click on "All Items" (clicking on any of the Snippets/Saved searches) does not fix it.
Andreas, are you still planning to implement "Move to top" on copy?
@xidiot yes I also noticed, this will be fixed in the next alpha.
Yes I'll add that move to top option soon.
4.9954 (uploading) adds the fist improvement to transformers.
- you can now specify the input and output type:
Example, use plain text html as input:
<b>hello</b> world
Then transform it with output type HTML and paste into richt text supporting app. It would be transformed to:
hello world
- the tansformer can now retrieve all selected items as an array and decide how to merge them yourself:
For example
async (clipboardContentArray) => {
return clipboardContentArray.join("\n---\n");
}
will produce output like this:
a
---
b
---
c
Next step I'll add the grouping of transformers into submenus.
