BetterClipboard 0.2.8

BetterClipboard 0.2.8 — a weekly update reminder, and groups you can merge with the keyboard

irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Nucs/BetterClipboard/main/install.ps1 | iex

• You have 0.2.6 or 0.2.7: the update button left of Pause lights up after the daily check, or press Check now
  in Settings › Updates. Click the button, then Update and restart. Your history, settings and shortcuts are kept.
• You have 0.2.5 or older: run the command above once. Those versions have no update button.

A reminder once a week. While a newer release waits, the update button's tooltip (Update available:
BetterClipboard x.y.z) opens by itself for a few seconds when you open the panel, at most once in seven days.

• It opens above the panel, where it covers nothing, and it closes by itself. There is nothing to dismiss, and typing
  goes on as usual. A click on it opens the update dialog.
• Opening the update dialog counts as a reminder too, so Later means a week. Skip this version silences the
  reminder for that release, and there is no reminder while the automatic check is off.
• 0.2.8 is the first version with the reminder: you will see it when the next release is out.
  Updates in the README has the details.

Groups with the keyboard. ↑ on the top item now goes to what you have open in the groups column, not to the
lowest group. A ring appears on that icon, and nothing else changes yet.

• A group open: the ring is on its icon. No group open: the ring is on the logo (your whole history).
• ↑ and ↓ then open the groups one by one. To go back to the items with the group you are on, press Enter,
  Space or →, or press ↓ on the last group. Enter then pastes, as always.
• Several groups open together (a merged list): ↑ puts the ring on the first of them, and ↑ and ↓ then move only
  the ring, so your merged list stays. Space or Enter adds the group under the ring to the list, or takes it out,
  like Ctrl+click. On the logo, they show your whole history. → goes back to the items. The footer shows these
  keys.
• Typing, or the mouse over an item, also goes back to the items. Shift+Enter pastes the selected item as plain text
  at any time.
  Groups in the README has the details.

Fixed

• A click on one of the panel's tooltips no longer takes the keyboard away from the panel. Before, the letters you
  typed after such a click went nowhere until you opened the panel again.
• The installer no longer stops halfway when Windows lists a BetterClipboard that does not run (what a crashed copy
  can leave behind) or one that it cannot stop (a copy that runs as administrator). Before, it closed your running
  BetterClipboard, then ended with nothing installed and nothing started again. Now it warns and goes on.

Everything new in 0.2.6 (updates from inside the app, several shortcuts and any key as a shortcut, the installer's
Win+V takeover, a faster panel and many fixes) is described in the 0.2.6 release.

File	What
BetterClipboard-0.2.8-win-x64.zip	App + bclip for x64 PCs (self-contained)
BetterClipboard-0.2.8-win-arm64.zip	App + bclip for ARM64 PCs (self-contained)
BetterClipboard-0.2.8-win-x64.7z, BetterClipboard-0.2.8-win-arm64.7z	The same files, 7-Zip compressed
SHA256SUMS.txt	SHA-256 of the zips and the .7z archives (the installer and the update check use it)
install.ps1	The installer / updater / uninstaller
betterclipboard.0.2.8.nupkg	The Chocolatey package (embeds the .7z archives)

• An older BetterClipboard can still open your history.
• Not code-signed yet: a zip downloaded with a browser may trigger SmartScreen; the PowerShell installer and the
  update button are unaffected.
