Hello BetterTouchTool Community,
I have a recurring issue and hope there is a solution for it.
Since I am required to use Windows for my main job, I switched to macOS for personal use and my second job about a year ago. On Windows, pasted files (CTRL + V) are visually highlighted until another action is performed. On macOS (CMD + V), this behavior does not seem to exist.
My question:
Is there a way to replicate this function using BetterTouchTool or another third-party app on macOS? I have already tried several scripts, but none have worked successfully.
The problem:
For example, my music folder contains 300 songs with different creation and modification dates (2015–2025). If I add 10 more songs, some of which might have older creation dates (e.g., 2022), the script does not recognize them as "new" and does not highlight them visually.
However, when I select 10 files and move them manually via drag and drop, they are visually highlighted in the system accent color (which I have set to red). Ideally, I would like the same behavior for copied and pasted files (CMD + C → CMD + V).
Is there possibly an Apple script that can be triggered via BetterTouchTool to achieve this functionality? If not, as mentioned earlier, I would appreciate recommendations for any third-party apps that can replicate this Windows behavior on macOS.
Thank you for your help!
Best regards,
Jaki
