that's true, however it's very different as it only supports some apps and can only paste one line of text as far as I know.

Yeah, the functionality built in the OSX won't work in Firefox for example, unfortunately :confused:

Is there a way to copy (or type) formatted text?

thanks, I have a search term I constantly have to type into Chrome and this makes life so much easier!

Any news on this?

Thank you so much for this! SUCH a help!

I just got a new mac, running Monteray. When I try and enter text I get a pop up window. It only records modifiers not regular keys. What am I doing wrong?

Either some app has activated secure input mode on your machine, or BTT does not have the accessibility permissions in System Preferences => Security & Privacy => Privacy => Accessibility.

Possibly try to restart your machine.
