What’s New BetterTouchTool 2.291

I’m readying this version for public (non-alpha) release, thus here again the changes since the last public version:

• Improved thumb/palm handling
• Greatly improved custom Snap Area performance
• Fixed issue where BTT Touch Bar would show after starting BTT, even if it was hidden before.
• Touch Bar Apple Script widgets should not refresh anymore while the BTT Touch Bar is not visible
• Fixed issue where volume widget wouldn’t go down to zero
• Fixed issue with Touch Bar ESC button ignoring modifier keys
• The predefined action “Paste / Type / Insert Custom Text” should now work correctly with the type option checked (this e.g. allows text entry into secure text-fields)
• Added Predefined Action “Activate/Bring to Front Window Under Cursor”
• Fixed issue with the “Show/Hide Specific Application” Predefined Action.
• Clipboard Manager now allows to paste by typing (e.g. in secure text fields or in apps that do not support pasting)
• Clipboard Manager remembers last windows size
• Clipboard Manager adds new line inbetween when pasting multiple
• Clipboard Manager now allows you to drag items out (Show Clipboard/Pasteboard History)
• Added option to automatically close the Clipboard Manager after it loses focus
• When adding a new application you can now choose from a list of running apps – this allows to e.g. add Java apps that come with a special launcher. Previously it was not possible to add such apps.
• Custom 4 Finger Tap Sequences can now be excluded from thumb/palm handling (in the advanced preferences). This is necessary if you want to use your thumb in such a gesture.
• Added percent option for Touch Bar Battery widget
• Improved Dropbox Sync
• Fixed rare crash when sending synthetic keyboard shortcuts
• Many bugfixes
