What's new in TextExpander 8.4.5
Improvements
- Inline Search: pressing Enter on a recent item now expands it instead of opening the main window, Shift-Tab behaves correctly, and Inline Search remembers its window size.
- Rich to plain text: switching a snippet to plain text now warns you with an Undo link before formatting is dropped.
- Date/Time Math: the macro dialog now flags an empty required field instead of silently doing nothing.
- Other: snippet groups default to "(Untitled)" when you clear the name, group-settings labels and button tooltips are clearer, and account menu items that open a page now show a loading spinner.
- Accessibility and security improvements
Bug fixes
- Fixed expansion and inline search failing in webview apps like Zoom Workplace Chat, the LinkedIn app, PowerPoint, and EMR tools.
- Improved focus handling in Microsoft apps (PowerPoint, Outlook, and Word) so snippets expand reliably.
- Fixed link-only ("smart link") snippets showing the abbreviation as a hyperlink instead of expanding the URL.
- Restored the Enter key for expanding a snippet from a fill-in pop-up menu.
- Fixed a crash that could occur when opening a link from within the app.
- Fixed Quick Search shortcut keys not working when navigating to Recents.
- Other: corrected the window title when a snippet has no label or abbreviation, and fixed the Repeat feature dropping a fill-in entry that contained email-formatted text.
