Real formatting in rich editors, formatted paste, and settings that apply without a reload
Added
- Macros expand with real formatting. Write a macro with markdown bold, italic, strikethrough or links and it arrives as actual formatting in Gmail and most rich editors, however you fire it: typed hotword, keyboard shortcut, right-click menu or the search overlay. Plain fields get readable prose instead of raw markers (a macro with numbered fill-in fields keeps its markers), and text that was never formatting, like 5 * 3 or file_name_v2, reaches the field exactly as you typed it. Only markdown you typed converts: text pulled in at expansion time from the clipboard, your selection or a prompt answer stays literal, so a page cannot smuggle a link into your message.
- Pasting formatted text into a macro keeps the formatting. Bold, italic, strikethrough and links from a page or document arrive in the macro body as markdown, link targets intact. Press Shift with the usual paste shortcut to insert the raw text instead.
Fixed
- Turning a setting on now works in tabs you already have open. Clipboard history, blocked sites, clipboard auto clear, on-device language detection and Smart Copy used to apply only after a page reload; they apply immediately now.
- Formatting survives the other ways text gets into a macro. Right-click Add Selection as Macro, TextExpander import and clipboard history all flattened text to plain before; each now keeps links, bold, italic and strikethrough, and clipboard history entries carry both a formatted and a plain version so pasting into a plain field is unchanged.
- The editor live preview renders formatting and no longer leaves stray brackets when placeholders nest.
