PopClip disparity - selection vs appear (via AppleScript)

Hi @nick

Maybe it’s just me but noticing some disparity with how PopClip appears when selecting text via clicking it, vs when using AppleScript to trigger it to appear.

Selection by clicking (shows all extensions)

Triggered to appear using AppleScript
script used: tell application "PopClip" to appear

Interesting! I was not aware of this. I will investigate. What browser is that?

Not specific to a browser. But the screenshot is from Brave browser

How are you triggering the ApplaScript?

If the method you are using is stealing focus from the current app then PopClip will be showing its bar according to the newly focused app not the one where you selected the text.

Had this come up recently with a user who was triggering it via BTT url scheme into Alfred. Alfred was activating and stealing the focus.

Gotcha. I’m triggering it via Alfred (keyboard shortcut).

How do you recommend I do it, if I need to do it via Alfred? any way to make PopClip or any other app the focussed app?
