LaunchBar

LaunchBar 6.9.5 adds compatibility with @1Password 7 obdev.at/products/launc…

@mxgrn Thanks, I’ve filed a feature request.

@launchbar Can we have the Google favicons displayed in the bookmarks search instead of the globe placeholder?

@typegirl Sorry, I’m afraid I don’t understand the problem. What are you trying to accomplish?

@launchbar hi ☺️ any know issues with the macOS Big Sur 11.7.6 (version)? I cannot get the insert to work at all. Like even just clicking on the snippet.

@kevinrj You are right – there’s is a bug. Will be fixed in the next version. Thanks for pointing this out!

@launchbar It seems that if I copy the file name to the clipboard with Launch Bar and then try to paste it in the terminal with command-v it pastes the file path and name twice e.g. ~/stuff/file.txt~/stuff/file.txt What am I doing wrong?

We’ve released LaunchBar 6.17 with improved support for macOS Shortcuts today. obdev.at/launchbar/rele…

@AlastairClimate @ecormany Select some file in LaunchBar, press Tab, select some folder, hit Return. Then you can choose from a bunch of file operations, including all sorts of links and aliases.

@ecormany @launchbar how do you do it?!~

just realized that i can make symbolic links right from @launchbar. was staring me in the face all this time. mind blown.

@mxgrn Yes, you are right, with Dvorak, Control-L conflicts with vi-style navigation shortcuts, which are based on the QWERTY layout. But you can turn them off in Settings → Shortcuts → Alternative Arrow Keys, by choosing “None”.

@launchbar Ah, great, then it might be a Dvorak issue, as it perfectly works in QWERTY, indeed. I hope you can easily reproduce it: switch to Dvorak, then ctrl-n (the L key on QWERTY) behaves as the right arrow. Thanks for looking into this!

In case you haven’t yet not noticed - you can now also reach us on Mastodon. @launchbar" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">mastodon.obdev.at/@launchbar Would be nice to meet you over there!

@com @ptujec You probably mean that LaunchBar’s list oriented output (showing one line at the time) isn’t well suited for presenting multi-line results, right?

@mxgrn LaunchBar supports Control-N/P already for decades.

@launchbar It's become a standard, to be able to hit "ctrl-n/p" to go through the search result list. Most launchers do it now (checked Alfred, Raycast). Do you plan adding that? Btw, thanks for the best fuzzy search implementation out there! The others aren't even close.

@toadle Yes.

@launchbar Any chance that we might get an update that changes Launchbar's appearance based on dark/light mode of macOS? ift.tt/12H4GgX

@ZevEisenberg That’s odd indeed. It’s just an ordinary URL. Same results if you open it via Terminal: open -u "music.apple.com/search?term=be…"

@launchbar I used your Apple Music search template to search for a song, and it brought me here 🤔

ScreenCastsOnline @sconline has released another video tutorial covering LaunchBar. A preview of this tutorial is available here: screencastsonline.com/tutorials/util…

@ptujec Glad you like the cursor! Open in Editor is a nice idea. We’ll add that.

LaunchBar 6.15 has been released today, adding support for Shortcuts on macOS Monterey and much more. obdev.at/launchbar/rele…

@ptujec 😂

macOS Shortcuts are on their way…

@jayashmen @wklj To solve this, LaunchBar provides a LIFO approach. You copy, copy, copy in reverse order, then paste, paste, paste (using the "Paste and remove from history" shortcut).

@wklj @launchbar i'd love to see a rework of the clipboard management functions... i just want it to work like... copy, copy, copy, paste, paste, paste. (buffer them all in, and let me paste out in FIFO)

@jayashmen @wklj The problem with FIFO is – how do you define "first"? If there are 300 items in your history you definitely don’t want to start pasting the one that was added "first".

@telepati You mean squishing the poor little icon into a quadratic cage to make it less distinguishable from other icons? Not very fond of this idea. eclecticlight.co/2021/01/12/big…

@launchbar Hope you can update app icon either.

Alongside a set of beautifully redesigned icons!

@Mike Sorry to hear that. Runs perfectly fine here on Monterey 12.0.1. Please contact us at obdev.at/support/contac… with details. Thanks!
