macOS version: Shortcuts for Commands requires manually copy to clipboard beforehand, unlike the general shortcut.

[PMeinert]

Shortcuts assigned to a specific command require you to manually copy the text into the clipboard beforehand. That is unlike the general shortcut, where selecting the text to work on is enough.

Hi, sorry for the late response. Please check v5.3 and see if the issue is fixed.

Hi, After a quick test, it is sadly not working correctly. It seems to output the result from the previous run, where I selected a command from the popup. Llama-server does get triggered, so my guess is that it’s an input problem. Meaning it doesn’t operate on the marked text, but the content already in the clipboard from earlier. It also does not restore the original clipboard content. Not an error, but something I corrected in another app extension, is to make sure the output has a line break at the end if the input has. That is because a paragraph selected by triple-click will include a line break at the end, but the LLM will strip it from the output.

Thanks for the detailed report. I've released version 5.4 which should fix the race condition and implements your trailing newline suggestion. Shortcuts should now work identically to the general popup and properly restore your clipboard.

Could you test it and let me know if this resolves the issues?

It seems to work now, except it still does not restore the original clipboard content.

Thanks, now I get what you meant.
Right now the app uses simulated ⌘C and ⌘V, which replaces the clipboard, so the original content gets lost.
I’m going to switch to a better approach using macOS Accessibility to read the selected text directly and restore a proper clipboard snapshot. I’ll work on this for the next update.
Glad to hear the shortcuts are at least working now!
