Problem

First of all, thank you for making this great app! Quite frequently, maccy popup shows up while the cursor is hovering on a maccy entry, then that entry got selected, when I press enter, that entry is pasted, which is unintended.

Solution

Have an option to disable hovering to select, in this case, an entry can only be selected via keyboard.

please share the details of running defaults read org.p0deje.Maccy in Terminal.app

This happens for me too, regularly. I second OP's request 😊 Great app though; absolute life saver!!

@p0deje Is it released in 2.2.0? Still reproducible in 2.2.0 though, please reopen.
Notice "exodus" is selected which it shouldn't, the cursor isn't moved, but that entry got selected:

@wenfangdu I cannot reproduce this error, see how the first item remains selected when I popup

@p0deje Strange, what macOS version are you on? I'm on macOS 15.1.1, it's not 100% reproducible, maybe 25% chance, you can try different ways to reproduce, e.g. different app, different popup position, different cursor position, with/without clicking, etc.

With all due respect, this issue asks for an option to disable the hovering to select entirely, this could fix it once and for all. The closing commit didn't add such option, hence, this issue should be reopened.

Not sure if this is the same issue, but here is a video of something similar:

I'm on sonoma 14.5 though

I'm on macOS 15.2, will try to reproduce more.

I don't plan to include an option to disable hovering at all. This would ruin a native user experience where Maccy behaves as the context menu, so you could select items with arrow keys and/or a mouse. If there is an issue when cursors hijacks selection with enter, it's just a bug that needs to be fixed.

[p0deje]

@wenfangdu Please try 2.2.1, it should be a bit better. If still an issue, please provide steps how to reproduce it reliably.

[wenfangdu]

@p0deje Yes, it's a bit better, but unfortunately still reproducible:

[wenfangdu]

@p0deje I've edited the issue title, please reopen until it gets fixed 🙏.

[p0deje]

@wenfangdu please share your settings by running the following in Terminal.app

defaults read org.p0deje.Maccy

[wenfangdu]

@p0deje You've asked before though.

$ defaults read org.p0deje.Maccy

[p0deje]

@wenfangdu This is really strange and bothers me because I cannot confirm an integrity of your Maccy version. Have you ever changed any settings in Maccy?
