Looks great - price is right - I'd love to check it. Too bad app-store only-ness makes it a no-go.

Pretty impressive. Less than a week ago I make a passing remark on this site about the window borders: today comes an update with better ones. Now that's one responsive developer!

… and PS. The MacUpdate image is the old-old-style GUI, not the much slicker new one.

Problem is that with the "Standard" interface it doesn't run in the background anymore.

Oops, my bad.

Switching interface changed my preferences and I hadn't noticed!

Works ok for me. This is an example using it: "Test for é or ü or î or ñ."

I've previously indicated that this is a good program; now version 1.5.1 brings a huge improvement to the interface. Personally I'd prefer it without the heavy black borders but that is a trivial point. It's simple to set up, quick and unobtrusive to use, all-in-all better than the paid-for alternatives.

Not bad at all, if you could add more template, more people will use

I certainly agree with both the previous comments - it's a very good program, though it could do with better instructions.

But the icon is more than Kooky - it's hideous; and the page for editing snippets must be the ugliest I've seen in any program since I started using Macs in the earliest days of GUIs.

This is an excellent version of an app that others are overcharging for. If the developer eventually puts a price on this, I'd be happy to pay.
