PointerSense v0.2.1
What's new in v0.2.1
A focused bug-fix and documentation release.
Bug fixes
- Multi-monitor tooltip positioning: Tooltips now appear on the same screen as your cursor instead of being forced onto the primary display. Uses
monitor_from_pointwith a primary-monitor fallback. - Detailed answers no longer get cut off: The tooltip body is now scrollable with a subtle styled scrollbar instead of silently truncating at 5 lines. Window also bumped from 200px to 240px tall so most one or two paragraph answers fit without scrolling.
- Onboarding checklist accuracy: The "Start detection" step no longer marks itself complete before you've added a key or granted Accessibility. Now requires all three preconditions before showing as done.
Documentation
- New How it works sidebar section in the setup window with:
- Four numbered step cards walking through the full Select → Read → Explain → Tooltip flow
- Reference card for the three detection modes (Selected only / Hover any / Smart)
- Reference card for the three trigger modes (Automatic / Hold Option / Manual)
- Tips card covering re-granting Accessibility, fastest-setup recommendation, and how to pause
