MokoPaste Release Notes

1.0.8 fixes an issue where existing history might not appear in search after upgrading, and adds multi-select history actions with better text fidelity, keyboard navigation, and preview reliability.

New Features & Improvements

• Multi-select history: Select multiple entries with Command or Shift, then copy, paste, drag, or delete them together.
• Keyboard navigation: Use Control + N / Control + P to select the next or previous entry.
• Text fidelity: More reliably preserves leading and trailing spaces, with improved URL detection, rich-text fallback, and multi-item text pasting.
• Leading-space hint: Text with leading whitespace keeps one visible space in the history list, making it distinguishable without disrupting the layout.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where existing history might not appear in search after upgrading. MokoPaste now rebuilds the required index automatically without clearing history.
• Fixed a crash that could occur when using a pinch gesture on non-image previews.
• Fixed duplicated or missing content when pasting multiple text entries, including partial content when dragging rich text.
• Fixed an issue where the search window might remain open after an external drag ended.

1.0.7 adds iCloud sync across Macs, improves performance with large clipboard histories, and refines tags, previews, windows, and clipboard reliability.

New Features

• iCloud sync across Macs: Pro users can sync text, links, custom tags, favorites, history limits, and deletion states. Sync is off by default and can be enabled in Settings; images and file contents are never uploaded.
• Color-coded custom tags: Custom tags can now appear as colored dots in the history list and filter bar, with an option to turn them off.
• File content thumbnails: File items now show Quick Look thumbnails, making them easier to identify.
• Safer text preview editing: MokoPaste warns before closing a text preview with unsaved changes. Press Esc twice to save and close quickly.
• More quick actions: Open URL items from the context menu, and automatically move recently copied or pasted items to the top.

Performance & Experience

• Faster search, loading, filtering, and bulk cleanup for large clipboard histories.
• Faster initial and incremental iCloud sync with less duplicate transfer and resource usage.
• Improved custom tag reordering, edge scrolling, renaming, and deletion.
• Improved image, text, and PDF previews, including zooming, copying, focus, and cross-display positioning.
• Smoother search-window wake-up and list refreshes with less flicker, jitter, and delayed content.
• The search field now supports undo and redo, with a more stable caret in long text.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed some plain text copied from macOS System Settings not being captured.
• Fixed pinned search windows occasionally failing to reappear or flickering after switching Spaces or apps.
• Fixed the search window unexpectedly closing when the pointer reached the menu bar in full-screen mode.
• Fixed PDF previews occasionally failing to restore after restarting the app.
• Fixed cross-display preview offsets, stale colors after theme changes, and window jitter on some external displays.
• Fixed existing Pro history-limit settings occasionally reverting to the default after an upgrade.
• Fixed occasional accidental tag creation, leftover controls, and visual flicker in tag management.

1.0.6 focuses on onboarding and everyday interaction stability, adding a guided new-user experience and improving item dragging, image preview zooming, menu bar icons, empty-list hints, and the Settings sidebar.

Highlights

• Added guided onboarding: First-launch onboarding and lightweight search panel hints help new users quickly learn permission setup, shortcut launch, preview, paste, and drag workflows.
• Improved item dragging: When dragging clipboard items out of an unpinned search window, the window now stays stable so the drag flow is not interrupted.
• Added empty-list hint: When the clipboard list is empty, MokoPaste now shows a native empty-state hint with Chinese and English localization.
• Refined menu bar and app icons: Adjusted menu bar icon sizing, vertical alignment, pause badge placement, and app icon proportions for a more stable visual presentation.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed image preview zoom jumps: Improved trackpad zooming and scrolling behavior in image preview, resolving sudden jumps while zooming out and offset shifts after release.
• Fixed Settings sidebar interaction: The Settings sidebar now keeps a stable fixed width and avoids accidental dragging or collapsing.

1.0.5 brings multi-file group previews, Cmd + number quick pasting, cross-monitor dragging improvements, and native PDF preview & search upgrades.

Highlights

• Brand New "File Group" Previews: Added full support for visualizing multiple files copied at once. You can now view individual files directly inside the right preview panel without manually returning to Finder, boosting multi-file handling efficiency.
• Cmd + Number Quick Paste: Press Cmd + 1 to Cmd + 9 in the search window to immediately select and paste the corresponding items, heavily enhancing keyboard workflow.
• Added Native PDF Preview & In-App Search: PDF items now support high-definition native previews, keyword search, highlights, and focus jumping. Highlighting color is automatically coordinated with the system accent color.
• Refined Hints for Keep Open and Pause Recording: Toast alerts for "Keep Open" and "Pause Recording" are now perfectly centered relative to the search bar with optimized safety height padding; they close instantly with the main window for a more natural interaction.
• Simplified Storage Settings: Removed the "Image Storage Format" option. MokoPaste now automatically manages the optimal storage format for image content, keeping the settings panel clean and uncluttered.

Bug Fixes

• Enhanced Multi-Scenario Image Copy Identification: Resolved issues where copying images from browsers or email clients were incorrectly captured as plain links or generic files. Images now reliably enter the clipboard with full image previews.
• Resolved Cross-Monitor Dragging Obstruction: Fixed an issue in multi-monitor setups where clipboard items could not be dragged across screens due to boundary limits, and resolved pixel jitter when dragging between screens of different resolutions.

1.0.4 adds a quick settings entry, Keep Open and tag-switching shortcuts, improves custom tag management, and refines history cleanup, accessibility guidance, and preview layout behavior.

Action Experience

• Search field and drag area: Adjusted the search field layout and expanded the top drag area to reduce accidental search-field clicks while moving the window.
• Quick settings button: Added an options button in the search field for opening settings, toggling Keep Open, or pausing/resuming clipboard monitoring. The button can also be shown or hidden in Settings.
• Auto-paste experience: Improved accessibility permission guidance and status messaging to make auto-paste behavior easier to diagnose and recover.
• Shortcut support: Added shortcut items for Keep Open and tag switching. Defaults include Option + P for Keep Open and Option + Left/Right Arrow for tag switching, with default reset and conflict hints.
• Keep Open feedback: Added clearer border feedback when the window is kept open.

Tag Bar Experience

• Keyboard tag switching: Use Option + Left/Right Arrow to move across bottom search filter tags.
• Custom tag ordering: Custom tags now support drag reordering while the base tags stay fixed.
• Right-click tag management: Custom tags can be renamed or deleted from a right-click menu, and changes are synced to existing clipboard items.
• Last selected tag: Reopening the search window now keeps the last selected tag.

Fixes

• Fixed accidental removal of important tagged content: Clearing history now keeps custom-tagged items to reduce accidental data loss.
• Preview layout fix: Improved image preview and OCR text layouts when the window is resized smaller.

Highlights

• Significant improvements to background reliability and automatic recovery.
• Enhanced stability for background persistence and launch-at-login state.
