Zmina 1.2
Zmina 1.2 recognizes around 70 more apps, on the desktop and on the web:
- Notes: Apple Notes, Evernote, OneNote, Google Keep, UpNote, Logseq, Joplin,
Craft, Anytype, Simplenote and more
- Markdown writing: iA Writer, Ulysses, Zettlr, Byword, MWeb
- Spreadsheets: Excel, Airtable, LibreOffice Calc
- Chat: Telegram, Zulip, Element, Rocket.Chat, Google Chat, Messenger, Viber,
LINE, WeChat, KakaoTalk, Zoom, Keybase, and the AI assistants
- Mail: Spark, Superhuman, Missive, Thunderbird, Proton Mail, HEY, Fastmail,
Canary Mail and more
- Also Bitbucket
Paste into one of these and Zmina suggests actions that app can
show, like a code block or a markdown table. Apps it did not recognize got none
of those. Text you copy from one of these apps is read with that app in mind
too, so Zmina may label it differently and suggest different actions than
before.
Esc now closes the History window and puts you back in the app you
were using. Your search, filters and place in the list are still there next time
you open it. Esc from the search field or the action panel goes back
to the list first, and ⌘W still closes History right away.
⌘W and the close button used to leave Zmina in front with nothing on
screen, so your typing went nowhere until you switched apps yourself. They put
you back in your app now too.
Faster and smaller
- The installed app is about a quarter smaller. The download is a bit smaller
too.
- Each window now loads only its own interface, so windows open faster and use
less memory.
- Smart Paste no longer waits for a large History search to finish before it
opens, and it stays responsive on very large clipboard items.
- Typing and moving through the History list stay smooth while a very large item
is selected, and holding an arrow key through the list no longer analyzes
every row it passes.
Also fixed
- Smart Paste did nothing when you had not copied anything yet, so the shortcut
looked broken. It now opens and tells you what to do, including when your
clipboard was filled before Zmina started.
- Smart Paste could open empty, usually when you summoned it right after Zmina
started. It now opens on the item you copied. If it cannot read your history,
it says so instead of doing nothing.
- Some apps Zmina already knew stopped being recognized: Numbers and Pages after
Apple renamed them, and Beeper, Tana and Writerside because they install under
a longer name than the one they advertise. All of them are recognized again.
- A web address that only mentioned another site, in a redirect link for
example, could make Zmina think you were on that site, so the suggestions were
for the wrong app. Zmina now reads the site the page is actually loaded from.
- A window title ending in something that looked like a filename, such as an
issue called “Fix crash in main.py”, made Zmina read your copied text as that
language. Only apps that edit files are read this way now.
- Code copied from a markdown file was labelled “markdown”, so putting it in a
code block produced a fence named markdown instead of the snippet’s real
language. In Zed and the JetBrains IDEs, Zmina could not tell which file you
were in, so the code block and markdown table suggestions were missing while
you edited a .md file.
- Copying from a browser that has stopped responding no longer stalls clipboard
capture for minutes.
Privacy
- Redacting a secret left part of it in the text, even though Zmina said it
worked. Only the first 36 characters of a GitHub installation token were
covered, and current OpenAI keys were usually covered only up to the first
dash or underscore inside the key. Both are covered in full now.
- More kinds of credentials are recognized as secrets in items you copy or open
from now on: GitHub user access tokens, OpenAI service account and admin keys,
temporary AWS session credentials, GitLab routable tokens, Slack app-level and
rotation tokens, Stripe webhook signing secrets, and Docker organization
access tokens.
- In History, a secret now stays fully masked when the text before it contains
curly quotes, emoji or accented letters. Before, the mask could slide and
leave the start of the secret readable.
Free for anyone still in the trial, and free for everyone who already bought
Zmina. Update from inside the app, or download 1.2.
