Hi,
since the last update the default behavior seems to have changed, if I invoke Hook the search bar comes up, but not the context window. As this behavior is unfortunately tied to several interactions with Keyboard Maestro and Alfred, I reverted to the previous version. It’ll take too long to change.
In my case, the easiest way to fix that is to allow us to set our own keyboard shortcuts within Hook.
Thanks for writing, @HansTammen. The final, non-beta, release of Hook 3.3 has the default as 3.2 and before, unless you installed one of the betas that had a different default.
Using an advanced Terminal preference, Hook 3.3 can stay in the background with
Using an advanced Terminal preference (defaults write com.cogsciapps.hook background.app.mode 0), the Hook app can now be brought entirely in the foreground. In foreground mode, Hook shows up in the app switcher, Force Quit window, and Dock.
thanks for responding! I reinstalled “Hook Version 3.3 (4542; Integration v. 183)”, which came up in the “updates” dialog. Not sure if that’s one of the betas?
The default is “background mode”, but I switched between both modes a few times (always restarting Hook), but if I invoke Hook, the search window pops up in any case.
I just invoke it by calling the Hook app itself, through keyboard shortcuts in Alfred and Keyboard Maestro. Same as double-clicking on the app, in all cases the search window comes up instead of the context window. Thanks!
