Ws1a23: The Multi Monitors Edition, Part 1.

summary: the whole display system is now revamped and automatedly tested. The Input and the Background Fadeout should now show on the correct monitor, on the right place, whether you use two or a thousand, without or without monitors having their separate Spaces. But you never know. Please report if you find issues. The multi monitors support for The Targets is coming in Part 2.

fix

• The Input now shows up at the right position in multiple screens setups
• The Background fade out will now fade the right monitor in multiple screens setups

new

• add support for Skype

Ws1a22: The Small Edition.

summary: a quick one this time as i'm still working on 1) a full multiple monitors support 2) a way to show the matches for each UI Element. once those two are done the beta will most probably be starting.

fix

• fix the position of The Input on multiple monitors for when the "Displays have separate Spaces" macOS Setting is ON

new

• add support for Sunsama

Ws1a21: The Copy Edition.

summary: copy the visible text of your Primary Target (or the descriptive text for icons, images, etc.) with ⌘C, or copy the metadata (URL for links, value for checkboxes, tabs, radiobuttons etc.) instead by adding a modifier key to ⌘C. plus some improvements here and there.

improve

• Wooshy will stop targeting the App Menus if the menu bar is not visible
• Wooshy will target the Dock elements again if the Dock is set to auto-hide but you show it by going close to it with your mouse (🥊️🥊️🥊️)
• right click has been tweaked so that it should work properly now even in the few apps where it may also have generated a left click

new

• option in the Preferences to prevent scrolling when you're Wooshing (rather than making the Targets disappear)
• you can copy the descriptive text of your Primary Target with ⌘C
• you can copy the metadata of your Primary Target by adding ⌃, ⌥, or ⇧ to ⌘C

Ws1a20: The Good Thing About Being an Alpha Edition Edition.

summary: removing the Search Case option. it ends up being more confusing than anything else, as Wooshy is also searching through UI Elements metadata that you cannot see. cherry on the cake, what you actually see on webpages and Electron apps may actually not be reachable through the macOS Accessibility APIs, so the way Wooshy still matches is through the metadata. many times the case between what you see and what is in the metadata is different. so that makes the whole UX of this Search Case pretty bad. so bye bye.

summary 2: fixes and new goodies and improvements and a new pink. see below.

fix

• the first Primary Target was not being read by VoiceOver if you had VoiceOver ON. it is now 🥳️

improve

• improve VoiceOver announcement for almost all UI Element types available on macOS
• stop targeting the Dock if it is not visibile as the clicking is widely inconsistent

new

• two Distributed Notifications—WooshyInputDidAppear and WooshyInputDidDisappear—that you can catch now in tools like BTT, Hammerspoon etc to build your own custom workflows!
• add new Aaron Pastel Pink color for the Targets

Ws1a19: The Case Edition.

summary: are you sensitive, insensitive, or smart?

new

• add a setting in the Search Preferences to tweak the case sensitivity of your search

Ws1a18: The Real VoiceOver Edition, Part 1.

summary: if you have VoiceOver ON, Wooshy will now announce the Primary Target 🥳️ so if you're blind, i hope you can read this. this is just the beginning. every UI Element role has to be somehow "curated". support will increase with the next releases.

new

• make Primary Target announcement through VoiceOver (thank you Apple)
• add support for Arc
• add support for Todoist

Ws1a17: The Single-Minded Edition.

new

Ws1a14: Another QOL Edition.
