Ok. Thats good to know about the click. But your preset activates with one click no matter what the minimum hold time for the click is. Its almost as the hold time just prolonges the time it takes for the menu to show up.
weird, it is working fine here. Do you see the hud showing also regardless of how short you click?
The click delay just delays it. If i put 5 seconds the menu shows 5 seconds after tapping. But if I choose a modifier key instead it works as it should, and the delay works.
ah wait, a tap doesn't really have a duration (as it triggers when removing the finger from the trackpad). I think this only works with clicks. How would you expect it to work with taps?
Is there a way to have two options.
One for spell check -highlight text and if it's like this WAKL fix it to WALK- basically spell checker.(Popclip has this and it even suggests similar words)
And another for SHORTEN url - high light a url and shorten the link.
-Also can I invokeTSM by double single tapping? why? you may ask. well sometimes I want to paste current clipboard.
-Lastly, can I have two raws(Horizontally)? one on top and one on the bottom?
Shortening a link would probably be easy but you'll always need some link shortener service. There are hundreds of them, do you have any specific in mind?
I have not yet included spell checking possibilities into BTT. Should be relatively simple using macOS spell checker API, maybe I'll look into it soon.
What exactly do you mean by invoke via double-single-tapping? In general you can use any trigger BTT offers to show the floating menu.
If you want multiple rows, you need to specify the size of the menu yourself, "fit content" will currently always try to fit everything into one row.
I liked @wellwell's idea for a long press menu, the current version of the example preset now includes one (best use with BTT 5.160):

SHRTN URL: I'm thinking is.gd works great on Pop...
SPL Checker: yes that would be great, would love to have that, I believe Pop... uses MacOS API too
Invoke: Yes I'm reading@ Wellwell's idea, even better. Have used Pop... for years didn't know you can long press. but yes this option is better * Would also like option for address bar availability to show, just like @ wellwel has asked
Multiple raws: Lets forget about this now, I may come back for it later and explain it better
here is a simple trigger that shortens the selected url and copies it to your clipboard:

Thank you Andreas I dl the floating menu but i don't see it anywhere. that weird.
you need to drag that one into your existing text-selection menu, also it will only show up if a link is highlighted
I did and I don't see it hmmm. I double click on it in finder and it just brings BBT in front and thats it. I also tried to directly drag it to text selection menu and it doesnt show up
also the latest BBT version why does it show two raws now. it wasn't like this before.
ah that is due to a new feature "maximum width":
You can change that value to a bigger one to make it one line again.
Could you post a screenshot of your menu items in the BTT UI? Is it in there? (if not, try dragging it in again)
Thank you again. Third time dragged it and now I see it.
lastly, can I auto paste the url after it has been shortened? I could add a trigger command+V or it has to be with the java script you added?
I added a command + V trigger for auto paste after shorten it, it works fine, hope thats ok
that's fine! (you could do it also via java script, but cmd+v is perfectly fine)
So im trying to get a menu thats different depending on apps. But cant get it to work.
Trying to exclude text apps from TextSelection menu conditional group. But no matter if add name or bundle id it wont deactivate for that app? Shouldnt the activation group override the triggers advanced conditions inside the group? Or do I need to change the advanced conditions on all trigger in the group?
I have "Is not: Notes" and "App Name: Notes" is active?
What am I missing?
the problem is your topmost condition is set to βanyβ. Change it to all
Hi, is there a way to get that long-press menu imported as a preset by itself? I've modified and tinkered with the original text selection menu preset from the day the feature dropped and merged it with my master preset, but when I try and import this updated one to get the long-press menu, it deletes my master preset. I just want to be able to quickly add the long-press menu into my existing setup. Thanks in advance.
@_z_eb I have exported it into a separate preset:
no-text-selection-v1.0.bttpreset (75.9 KB)
Thanks so much! In the meantime I figured out my own version from scratch which has been really useful, but will definitely look into yours to get the spacing sorted. Loving these text selection floating menus!
check out what I made.

Highlight any text to preview the color and convert it to other color formats.
Please tell me if you find any bugs.
