If I trigger (accidentally, stupid muscle memory) Hookmark when I’m using Ulysses, my entire machine becomes completely unusable until things stop fighting.
Ulysses is a weird app. It’s not quite mac-like, it does lots of things in its own (wrong) way, but there’s a couple of things that make it unique and powerful. I can’t give it up.
(it’s even messier - I realise there’s a hookmark script, but it doesn’t do anything for me; further, as I use Unclutter as a clipboard history tool, it also fills up with billions of empty entries, destroying useful items I had queued up).
Is it possible to make Hookmark completely ignore invovcations on a per-app basis?
If not, is there something I can put in the scripts for Hookmark to make it do nothing if accidentally triggered over Ulysses without them wetting the (digital) bed?
I’m sorry to hear you are experiencing this issue.
The easist way to turn it off is to go to Hookmark Settings window->Scripts->Ulysses ->Get Address, remove the Get Address script, and click on save button. Ulysses has two versions, the regular version and Setapp version. Please make sure you disable the right one or simply disable both.
I have been using Ulysses for five or six years, with Hook for a few and with no problems. There have been a few posts here from users that have had fixable issues using Setapp versions of an app and also a mention from support about some clipboard managers needing to be paused under certain circumstances.
I would appreciate it if you could share the circumstances in Ulysses when you accidentally invoke Hookmark.
Hi @bnm3215 - apologies for a very tardy response.
I’m using the app store version, with a subscription. Because I use lots of other tools alongside Ulysses, I can quite easily think I have focus elsewhere, but on swiping to a full-screen Ulysses lose track as focus shifts. These are the moments of friction which throw me. And frictious it is; I literally cannot click or focus any other application for a few minutes while the internal disagreement plays out. I just tried disabling my clipboard managers (in Unclutter and LaunchBar), but it’s had no impact. I’m running KeyboardMaestro, which also has some clipboard interplay, but nothing actively monitoring it.
