Switchboard 1.1.7

• Added three switches to the settings gear: Record Clipboard History, Open Shelf During File Drags, and Command-Delete Ejects Disks in Finder. Turning off Record Clipboard History also forgets the clips already held.
• Added Red Button Never Quits to the settings gear. Check an app there, such as a music player, to keep it running after its last window closes.
• Copy text from the screen no longer holds up the panel and the other shortcuts while the text is being read. The first read can take up to a minute while macOS gets text recognition ready, so the panel now says it is reading, and Switchboard prepares text recognition in the background shortly after it launches.
• Fixed the panel opening for a moment and closing again after Copy text from the screen was started from the panel over a full-screen app.
• Fixed the Keep Mac awake menu sitting in the middle of its column instead of lining up with the other controls.
• Traditional mouse scrolling and a window switcher shortcut set to Command-Tab no longer hold up scrolling and key presses across the Mac while Switchboard is busy.
• An app's audio output choice is now remembered after the app quits.
• The panel no longer slows down when clipboard history holds a very large text clip. A very long clip shows its first 20,000 characters when expanded; Copy still copies all of it.
• Fixed a screenshot converted to JPEG or HEIC appearing twice in clipboard history. The temporary files made for converted screenshots are now deleted when Switchboard quits.
• Fixed the file shelf's Add files button doing nothing until Switchboard was relaunched, after the shelf had been closed with its file picker open.
• Command-Delete in Finder no longer ejects a disk while you're typing in a text field, such as when renaming it.
• Clicking the menu bar icon to close the panel no longer pauses for a third of a second first.
• Fixed Quit in Using the most sometimes asking one of an app's helper processes to quit, which could close a browser tab instead of the browser.
• Fixed the network reading dropping to zero for one update each time 4 GB had passed through a connection.
• Fixed toggles showing the wrong state for a setting that another tool had saved as text.
• Notices that ask for Accessibility or Screen Recording access now link to the right pane in System Settings.
• The welcome window now covers the file shelf and the window switcher.
• Reduced background work during window drags while Snap windows is on.
