**Describe the bug**  
After updating BetterTouch to the latest version. When I use Transform & Replace Selection with chat GPT function it does not copy the output to clipboard. Instead the output of chatGPT can be pasted by right-click paste function or by using cmd+v. once again, it does not copy the output of chatGPT directly to the clipboard like in previous versions.

I'm not sure I understand, if you can press cmd+v it means it is in the clipboard.

Apologies for the misunderstanding. What I meant is that when I use the chatGPT function its does not copy to the clipboard of BetterTouchTool.

To clarify better: I use the BetterTouch clipboard which I assigned **4 finger taps** to open the clipboard and **cmd+!** (keyboard shortcut to use chatGPT). In previous updates I would select a text I want and press **cmd+!** to use chat GPT, when I do this it automatically copies the text I selected and after a few moments of the **brain logo ticks in blue** the response of chatGPT is as well copied to the BetterTouch clipboard. After the update, chatGPT output **after the brain blue tick** does not get copied into BetterTouch clipboard, only the selected text is copied at the beginning is copied (no response of chatGPT is copied to the clipboard. However, I am still able to copy it through cmd+v (it is not present in BetterTouch clipboard)

Previously this was unintentional behavior, however I think it’s a good to have an option to copy the response to the clipboard. I’ll add an option for this with the next version on Monday
