Direct paste into focused app

Status: enabled (best-effort).

Current behavior:

  • Selecting an item (click, Return, or Ctrl+1...9) copies it to the clipboard, closes the overlay, reactivates the previously focused app, and synthesizes Cmd+V into it after a short delay.
  • When Accessibility is not granted it falls back to copy-only; the user pastes manually with Cmd+V.

Known fragility (revisit if reports come in):

  • Synthetic Cmd+V depends on the target app regaining focus before the keystroke posts; the current 0.12s delay is a heuristic.
  • Secure-input fields and some Electron apps may swallow the synthetic paste.

Future implementation notes:

  • Rework overlay to avoid stealing focus where possible.
  • Track the focused accessibility element before opening the overlay.
  • Use Accessibility APIs for focused text insertion when safe, with fallback to synthetic paste.
  • Add a manual QA matrix across TextEdit, browser fields, VS Code, Telegram/Slack, and secure-input fields.
