Text On Screen editing — native selection, undo, and font hotkeys

TL;DR

TuringShot 1.5.6 makes Text On Screen memos editable like a native macOS text field: drag-select a range and use Cmd+C, Cmd+V, Cmd+X, Cmd+A, Cmd+Z, and Cmd+Shift+Z. Existing memo content is preserved.

Version 1.5.6 focuses on Text On Screen editing. Notes should feel closer to a normal memo editor while still staying as floating live screen elements.

Drag-select text inside a note

You can now click inside a Text On Screen note and drag across part of the text to select only that range. Single-click cursor placement remains available, but dragging now follows the standard macOS text editing behavior.

Standard editing shortcuts

Text On Screen now supports Cmd + C, Cmd + V, Cmd + X, Cmd + A, Cmd + Z, and Cmd + Shift + Z inside the memo editor.

Why this matters

During live demos and recordings, on-screen notes often need small edits rather than full rewrites. Selecting one phrase, pasting a command, or undoing a typo should be immediate.
