New:

* When running on Tahoe, all the items in the TypeIt4Me menu now have accompanying SF symbol icons. This avoids haphazard indentations and ensures that all the menu items remain horizontally aligned, so they’ll be easier to scan at a glance.

* Improved compatibility with Spotlight and other non-standard floating input windows, e.g. the Quick Capture panel in Drafts.

Fixed:

* The problem of rich formatted text sometimes being invisible on expansion should no longer occur. This was due to the way rich snippets were saved with black/white colour-reversal while the system Dark Mode appearance setting was enabled. It would sometimes produce white text on a white background or black text on a dark background, rendering it illegible. The trade-off we made to address this issue: the editing area for rich snippets now always has a white background, even in Dark Mode.

* The last update introduced a bug that prevented option / prompt cells from opening automatically for editing when added to a snippet. That bug is now TOAST.

* There was a bug that would prevent the TypeIt4Me icon from showing up in the menu bar. It’s history now. Let’s never speak of it again.

* The priority of identical abbreviations with differing snippet content is once again immediately updated after re-ordering sets in the sidebar. There was a bug in the last update that resulted in a re-launch being required for the change to be registered.

* We fixed an issue with undoing snippet changes or deletions that could sometimes cause a crash.

* We’ve also corrected a slew of minor glitches, missing tooltips and localisation goofs.

New:

* Re-compiled and optimised for macOS 26 Tahoe, with UI tweaks to accommodate the new Liquid Glass look Apple introduced in its latest system.

* The delete button in the toolbar above the snippet list column has been replaced with an expanded action menu:
Sort By
Show Duplicates / Show All Snippets
Move to
Copy to
Duplicate
Delete* You can now swipe to delete snippets.

* Better support for nesting snippets (can now insert a snippet from any set, not just the currently selected one).

* Improvements to management of duplicate snippets and automatic disambiguation of unique identifiers.

* Increased text size in the Abbreviation, Label and (plain) Snippet content fields so those of us over the age of 45 won’t have to squint so hard to read it.
Fixed:

* Fixed a bug that could prevent enabling or disabling the iCloud sync option on macOS 26 Tahoe.

* Snippets now correctly expand in uppercase when Caps Lock is on.

* The “Open backups folder” buttons now work correctly on macOS Tahoe.

* We’ve also corrected many other minor glitches, missing tooltips and localisation errors.

* There’s a new setting to stop the main TypeIt4Me window opening on launch.

* “New Predefined Set” has been added to the TypeIt4Me menu, for increased discoverability.

* There are several new predefined date formats to choose from when inserting a dynamic date in a snippet.

* Fixed a bug that would add an unwanted carriage return after expanding a prompt snippet.

* When TypeIt4Me is in the Dock but the main window is not open, a single click on the Dock icon will now open the window; you no longer have to long-press on the icon and select “Show TypeIt4Me” from the menu.

* Fixed a bug that would cause the TypeIt4Me icon to reappear in the Dock despite “Don’t Show App Icon” being selected in Settings.

* When the “Show in Menu Bar” app icon setting is selected, you can now choose whether the TypeIt4Me icon should also show temporarily in the Dock while the main app window is open.

* Fixed a bug that could prevent adding multiple fill-in options / prompts to a rich formatted snippet.

* All options in the View menu for sorting snippets should now work correctly and the chosen sort order for each set will also be reflected in the point-and-click menu.

* Fixed a bug that would sometimes cause the snippet formatting popover menu to close immediately when opened.

* Fixed bugs that would result in the wrong popover preview content being shown when quickly moving the pointer over adjacent fill-in options / prompts in a rich formatted snippet.

* When you delete a snippet while in “Show duplicates” view it no longer erroneously reverts to showing the full snippet list, so you can continue to view, edit and delete duplicates.

* When adding a “Don’t expand in” or “Only expand in" rule to a set, Safari now correctly appears in the list of apps you can apply the rule to.

* Rich snippets with abbreviations that involve holding the shift key or that begin with 2 numbers or more no longer expand in Unwanted Title Case.
