It seems to work fine here, however the launcher so far has only been tested on macOS 26 (and if necessary might become a >= macOS 26 feature due to all the modern SwiftUI stuff involved)
I'll check whether I can reproduce this on macOS 15, if it is easy to fix I'll support it on older versions as well.
Thanks! I havenât noticed any other UI problems with it yet, but Iâve only been using it for about 20 minutes. 
Overall it looks great!
In the File Browser, is it possible to have an option so that video/audio, etc. donât auto play when the preview pane is open?
not yet, I'll add that and make it the default.
6.449 (uploading) adds a simple autoplay checkbox that is disabled by default now (maybe I'll change the look in future versions).
I have also added some more explicit view sizing for the clipboard manager as I saw a note about macOS 15 being more strict about that. Maybe this already helps with the preview.
Thanks! That was quick!
The clipboard preview is fixed.
The unchecked checkbox seems like a good default for autoplay. Is there a keyboard shortcut to play it without opening Quick Look?
Also for the File Browser: is there an option to remember the last open folder and selected item? I might avoid inadvertently leaving tons of open Finder windowsâŚ
Could you explain what this would do?
6.450 should make the launcher much snappier to show (apart from the first show, BTT does not yet warm-up the launcher before the first show, so that still takes a bit)
call a trigger via the launcher. but it could also be a link for Shottr for example.
here is an example named trigger that would allow you to do this, but I don't understand yet how you would use it. You know you can easily add any of BTT's triggers to your launcher?
deeplink_example.bttpreset (1.0 KB)
The example has keyword "deep" assigned, so in your example you'd need to type
deep btt://trigger_named/?trigger_name=Move Mouse to Screen Center
You can add any trigger to your launcher using the launcher config:
This is fixed in BTT: 6.454 now.
Just learning about this new feature for the first time, and although I havenât even tried it out yet for myself, I just wanted to sayâŚ
WOW!
I know, right? BTT is truly the emacs of macos, it does everything! I expect Andreas to add a web browser any day now. And itâll be the best web browser!
Two things I miss from Spotlight:
- Results from the installed dictionaries (via the dictionary app)
- Unit and currency conversions (via calculator and internet lookup?)
Is there a way to add or enable these? Would it require a plugin? Or could they be passed through to Spotlight in some way?
@somelinguist I have added support for currency conversion to 6.457.
Abut the dictionary stuff, how does that work in Spotlight? Does it appear right in the search results when you type something? (I think I might have disabled this feature at least nothing seems to show here :-))
The conversion requests are going through a version of https://frankfurter.dev hosted by me, so no data is logged. The currency data is updated on server side every few hours.
One major feature still missing in the BTT launcher is learning the userâs preferences on ordering. Alfred calls this keyword latching. So if I type âbttâ into alfred and select the bettertouchtool app, the next time I type btt, BetterTouchTool will be right at the top of the list pre-selected. IMO this is a big deal and a large part of what makes launchers pleasant to use.
@grig, yep I'm currently testing this. It will be available in the next build.
@Andreas_Hegenberg How can I remove empty folders I made while testing the launcher?
