I'm very interested that you can open Intellij code. Do you have example code from your GIF you could link? Is Intellij opened with the type url or a script? Can't wait to use this! Thanks

This is really cool. I had a similar idea a couple of years ago to implement something similar to this using the three finger single tap command on the trackpad that currently brings up dictionary/siri knowledge/wikipedia etc. I see you have 4-finger tap implemented with an additional app which is really cool and probably better than the 3-finger native OS way since you can highlight/copy as well as build your own menu. Thank you for this!

That's pretty cool. I wish linux had such abilities. I have a similar app-specific launcher to call scripts, but the best I can use are keys, so I just fire ctrl-c or such, wait some seconds and have something useable in a separate dialog. Such an integrated tooltip seems to be far better than this.

Don't ignore your health
As an office worker, we work on our computers 8 hours / day. We'll work for years to come.
It's important to optimize our work routine in order to avoid the deterioration of our health.
Reducing the number of clicks and the amount of hand movement is one way to reduce straing on your hand, arm, and body.
Using Programmable Tooltip is one of the simplest ways to achieve just that.
Programmable Tooltip is free for simple usage and costs $39.99 (a one-time lifetime fee) for advanced usage.
As a Stripe employee, you should be able to reimburse a productivity software. Please review your software reimbursement policy.
Investing in good ergonomics (e.g. Programmable Tooltip, good desk, great chair, split keyboard) will pay off on your health in the long run. I implore you to start investing in ergonomics right now.
Strong privacy
Programmable Tooltip runs in
App Sandbox,
is distributed through App Store, and has gone through the Apple's rigorous review process.
By running in App Sandbox, it is NOT allowed to read, write, or execute files in any user's directory except the directories whose permission is explicitly granted by the users. Since we don't require any permission, we cannot see user's activity. The app only sees the selected text when you open the tooltip. The strong degree of privacy is what sets us apart from our alternatives.Questions? support@programmabletooltip.com
