ShortPath 1.0

This is the first stable release of ShortPath — a local-first desktop tool for support agents that consolidates saved replies, documentation, SOPs, quick-launch tools, and team sync into one fast, searchable surface.


What's in 1.0

Core search and browsing

  • Instant keyword and full-text search across all entries at once, grouped by category
  • Vertical (category) filter tabs, sub-folder navigation, and a collapse-all toggle
  • Pinned entries always visible at the top; favorites view for starred items
  • Recents section showing the last entries you copied
  • Entry preview card on hover — see body text without opening the entry

Entry management

  • Add, edit, and delete entries with a quick-add form (under 10 seconds)
  • Rich text editor with Bold, Italic, Underline, lists, code blocks, and hyperlinks
  • Plain or HTML copy mode per entry
  • Paste-and-split: paste a multi-section document and ShortPath splits it into individual entries on headings
  • Add from clipboard — one action from copied text to saved entry
  • Usage counter and copy-based sorting

Import and export

  • CSV import with drag-and-drop, column mapping for non-standard files, duplicate detection, and import preview
  • CSV export: all entries, selected entries, or local-only entries
  • URL import: fetch a page and pick which sections to save
  • Markdown and PDF drag-in import
  • Browser extension for Chrome and Firefox — right-click to save any selection or page

Team sync

  • Point ShortPath at a shared CSV in Dropbox, Google Drive, or OneDrive and it stays in sync automatically
  • Multiple sync sources supported simultaneously
  • Local entries are never touched by sync — ever
  • Duplicate detection: after a manual Refresh, ShortPath flags synced entries that share a title and category with your local entries
  • Export mine: send your personal entries to the team admin to fold into the shared file

Support Tools

  • Dedicated grid section for quick-launch links — admin panels, dashboards, forms
  • Reorderable, pinnable, and starrable like any other entry

Appearance and customization

  • Light and dark mode; 6 accent color presets
  • Small, Medium, and Large window size presets; opacity slider; density toggle
  • Adjustable text size; font family choice
  • Compact mode: shrinks to a small icon in the corner, restores on click or hotkey
  • Custom vertical tab order via drag-and-drop

Keyboard-first

  • Global summon hotkey (default: Ctrl+Shift+Space), fully remappable
  • Arrow keys to navigate results; Enter to copy; Esc to dismiss
  • Keyboard shortcuts panel (Alt+K) listing every shortcut
  • Copy then auto-hide option

In-app Help Center

  • 50+ searchable topics covering every feature
  • No browser, no external links

What's next

  • Code signing for Windows (SmartScreen bypass) and macOS (Gatekeeper)
  • macOS build
  • Browser extension store submissions (Chrome Web Store, Firefox Add-ons)
  • Distribution pipeline and auto-update
