Hey everyone, I’m a new drafts user. I have two questions:
There is not an option to hide the status bar below the editor.
“Float on Top” will remain selected if you enable it. Do you mean across a restart of the app? If you quit it will revert to off.
Float on Top
No way to keep it persisted across app restarts?
No, there is not. I tend to think that would cause a lot of problems.
Have you considered using the Capture window? It always floats and was designed for just that sort of capture over other apps.
Thanks. I think the capture window is meant to be a way to quickly capture drafts, but my objective is to have my Drafts floating over my other windows so I can quickly look at the content of the draft and sometimes even switch to a different draft. I’m basically trying to replace Tot. let me know if there’s a way to do that? Other than that, if there is an automation or something (AppleScript) I can add, where whenever Drafts launches, it auto clicks the float on top in window menu
That property is not currently visible to scripts, but I’ll add a property to allow you to set it in an action in the next update.
FYI, hide the status bar was added in v48.2. See View > Hide Status Bar
A scriptable flag for toggling Float on Top was also added. See example action.
Thanks, been using this Hide Status Bar for a bit and like it!
BTW, is there a way to trigger this Float on top from an external automation app? I installed it and it just goes shows up in here, but how do I enable (float on top) always?
Lots of ways to trigger actions. Might be easiest just to assign it a keyboard shortcut so you can quickly toggle from the keyboard (right-click, edit action, assign keyboard shortcut). But you can also trigger actions via Shortcuts, URL schemes, AppleScript, etc. with external tools, if you so desire.
