That was the issue. I updated to 11.0.2 and it's working now. No lag and I can see the text when KM is the front application (Not available in the editor).
2 questions:
1 - Is there a way to make KM check for updates regularly, other than creating a macro to click the menu to check updates? I don't think I got the notification that a new version was available. It would be good to have that setting in the Settings panel.
2 - I found this topic where you mention that holding shift will show the token, which is useful and I didn't know about it. But I think the search menu could have a few improvements:
- Ability for us to search for the token itself, meaning that the list would be sorted alphabetically with the tokens. Right now when I open the search > ALL, the titles are sorted, but when I hit Shift, the tokens are not (of course), so it makes it hard to find by token. For example right now if I know that a particular token starts with
%Front
but I don't remember the rest, it's really hard (or impossible) to find it, because typing%Front
in the search field, shows no results. For the %FrontDocumentPath% the title is not next to the list with the other "Front" tokens
For example the same type of token is described as:
Whereas the front document path is:
So we would either have
The path of the front application
The path of the front window's document
or
Front Application Path
Front Document Path
At the same time, when I go to each category, the titles are not sorted, but the tokens are, which is confusing because it's the opposite of the All category
- Ability to search for the token by typing % in the search field and it would automatically switch to the token list (sorted alphabetically), similar to when we hit Shift. Right now, nothing is listed:
Another suggestion would be a "token auto complete". For example if I'm creating a new variable and I type a certain combination of characters, for example %%
(we could change this to whatever we want) it would trigger an auto completion window. So if I type %%front
it would show me a list of tokens that have "front" in it (in any position), but in token form, not title. This would make the process so much faster.
Anyway, thanks for suggesting the updated. The token is working now.
