Pelmet 0.3.1

Pelmet 0.3.1

Pelmet Search, Apple's camera controls back when you need them, a Shortcuts
item, and every fix from five betas.

There's a brand new website too, pelmet.fif7y.com.
It's in the same ten languages as the app, with a page for the features and
one for support.

Pelmet Search

Press ⌥⌘K, type a few letters, press Return. That icon's menu opens right
from its real icon in the menu bar, and the arrow keys work like they
normally do. It works for hidden icons too, there's nothing to reveal first
(#73, thanks @fgsconsulting).

• It knows the short names people type, like bt or wifi.
• It learns. The icons you open most come first, and a few letters you've
  picked twice for the same icon go straight to it. All of it stays on your
  Mac, with a reset in Settings › General.
• ⌘K on a result shows what you can do with it, like moving it to another
  section or giving it its own keyboard shortcut.
• The settings are in there too. Type "hover" and Return opens the settings
  on that row.
• ⌘↩ shows the icon in the bar without clicking it.

Change the shortcut in Settings › General, or pick "Search…" from Pelmet's
right-click menu.

New:

• A click on Pelmet's Camera & mic item opens Apple's own camera and screen
  sharing controls (#68, thanks @rd-david-wahlandt, and #72, thanks
  @dartiss). macOS takes that pill off the bar as soon as any icon is
  hidden, and with it video effects, Mic Mode and Stop Sharing. Pelmet
  brings the pill back for a moment to open its panel, then hides the bar
  again. A SharePlay session with no call lives in the same pill, so the
  item wears the SharePlay glyph while one's live. A right-click still opens
  Privacy settings.
• A Shortcuts item, your whole Shortcuts library in one Pelmet menu. macOS
  takes the Shortcuts "Menu Bar" controls off the bar as soon as any icon is
  hidden. The item lists your shortcuts instead, unfiled first, then one
  submenu per folder, and a pick runs it.
• ⌃⌥⌘, reveals Always Hidden too, and a second press hides it all (#67,
  thanks @C3PO-1). With the icon off there was no way to reach Always
  Hidden. It's in Settings with the other shortcuts.
• A dot style for Pelmet's icon, filled while icons are hidden and an
  outline while they're shown (#62, thanks @samismustard).
• The app icon is Liquid Glass now, so macOS draws its dark, clear and
  tinted looks itself (#63, thanks @samismustard).
• The right-click menu has an Animation submenu, so you can switch the
  reveal style without opening the settings.

Fixed:

• A click on the clock no longer moves your pointer (#74, thanks @brodly).
  Pelmet presses the clock directly now. Some macOS builds never open
  Notification Center from that press (27.0.1 is one), so Pelmet notices
  after the first miss and replays your click under the pointer from then
  on.
• A Focus that ends while your Mac sleeps now turns off in Pelmet when it
  wakes (#70, thanks @GianAndris). A click on the Focus item opens the Focus
  panel on a Mac in any language, and Focus settings when Control Center is
  hidden. A Focus left on for days shows again after Pelmet relaunches.
• A ⌘-drag could lose track of the icon you moved (#64, thanks
  @GianAndris). Pelmet now waits for the drop, and Apply stops moving icons
  that are already where they belong.
• On a Mac in another language than English, the Notification Center
  shortcut opened the panel and closed it again (#58, thanks @robinhur).
• Two clicks close together could draw stale copies of your icons next to
  the real ones (#61, thanks @samismustard).
• Apply's report now says only what it couldn't move, and it goes away with
  the tab (#60, thanks @oantonov).
• An icon macOS took off the bar by itself was shown as refusing to hide
  (#66, thanks @robinhur). The editor now says what happened.
• A click on the clock is quicker. The picture of the empty bar is kept
  until one of Pelmet's own icons changes, instead of being retaken after
  every reveal. It also stops just before the clock, so the time you see
  is never a minute old.
• New Pelmet items land right of the chevron, before the clock.
• With a smooth reveal on a second display, the Sound icon slid with the
  others instead of popping in once they had settled.
• A quick hover in and out no longer shows the hidden icons twice.
• A trackpad scroll down a long settings tab, then a click on Displays, no
  longer leaves every tab blank.

Also:

• Pelmet uses less CPU while you move the mouse. Only the moves near the
  menu bar reach it now.
• The translations use macOS's own words, and the menus that stand in for
  Apple's use Apple's wording in every language.
• The menu bar's ink (light or dark) is broadcast to the apps Pelmet hides,
  so an app drawing its own status band can match it.
