You have to click "Save" to make these setting take effect. And you need reboot your device when switch Use mode feature.

You don't have to reboot after switching clipboard history record feature. (since 2.0 alpha 1)




[ Manage Text Lists ]

I'd like to introduce the concept of Text list first.

• First , you can create some Clips, like catalogs. ex : "Address" , "Emails"...etc.
• After created, you can add text items in those clips. When you click text list items you can insert text quickly.
• Here are two types of clips : "Text" and "Alias".  "Text" is just text, you will insert what you see. In "Alias" you can defined a "name" for your text. For example you set "My email" as name for "12345@gmail.com". When text list dialog show up, you can see "My email" but click it will insert "12345@gmail.com".

You can add, sort, rename (by long click) all clips. Click a clip can manage its texts.
( Left picture)

And when manage clip's texts, you can also add, sort, modify (by click), delete (by long click), clear list and remove this clip.




[ Tap & Long-Press Setting ]

When using TLP mode, you can set the interval between Tap and Long-Press.
You have to finish these action in interval time, or it will nothing happend.
Defualt is 1500 = 1.5 sec.

[ FloatWindow Setting ] - important

When using FloatWindow mode, you can change icon, color...etc here.
Click two color block can select gradient colors.(arrow button can switch 2 colors)
The icon is from your android device, so it may different between devices.

Temporary disable need NOT to reboot your device, just don't show the float window when it is checked.

"Click delay" means how long should float window wait before moving when you touch it. Some device is too senseitive when you click on float window, this will make it thought you want to "move" it, not "click" it. Adjust "Click delay" to fix this problem. Large value with "Click delay" will make float window hard to move.
( This value is not in second or ms, it's system event tick.)

"Float level" is the priority of this float window, default is PHONE :

• PHONE : May be blocked by apps with float window like Facebook Messenger or Link Bubble.
• ALERT : Higher priority, can float above those apps.
• ERROR : Almost Highest priority. Even can float above notification bar. This is not recommanded.

Right pic : Level ERROR

Settings in this page will be saved immediately after you change it.
