Набір діє для Alt+Shift, Win+Space, Win+Shift+Space і Next layout. Вебпрофілі окремі від Telegram Desktop; однакові назви в різних акаунтах/профілях браузера мають спільний вебпрофіль. Адреса й назва беруться через accessibility, без OCR, таймера, розширення та читання історії повідомлень. В адресному рядку, на головній сторінці й для непідтримуваних адрес профіль не діє.

+### Desktop chat snippet selection — v0.6.55
+
+ChatGPT and Codex desktop editors use paced selection for snippet triggers. If only a verified suffix is selected, KSwitcher extends the selection and verifies the full trigger before replacement. Unrelated text or changed focus cancels the operation. Triggers remain recognized across keyboard layouts. One snippet can target multiple applications: add each with **Add app**, or enter comma-separated process names. These existing application scopes also synchronize.
+
+**Українською.** У настільних ChatGPT і Codex тригер виділяється з паузами між натисканнями. Якщо виділилася лише перевірена кінцева частина, KSwitcher доповнює виділення й перевіряє весь тригер перед заміною. Інший текст або зміна фокусу скасовують операцію. Тригери розпізнаються в різних розкладках. Один сніпет можна прив’язати до кількох програм через **Add app** або назви процесів через кому; ці прив’язки вже підтримують синхронізацію.
+
 ### Application-specific snippets — v0.6.51
 
 In **Tools → Snippets**, select a snippet and enable **Only in these applications**. Enter executable names separated by commas, or select a currently open application's process and choose **Add app**. For example: `ms-teams.exe, outlook.exe`. Uncheck the option for a global snippet. A checked but empty restriction cannot be saved. Save applies the changes; Cancel discards them.

+## v0.6.55 — 2026-11-06
 
 ## Changes
-- Add **Smoothing (0–100%)** to the screenshot editor toolbar. Adjust the selected pencil stroke, or set the default for new strokes when no pencil stroke is selected (initially 25%). **Apply to all strokes** updates all pencil strokes in the image and the default. Text, highlights and geometric shapes are unchanged.
-- Retain original pencil samples: zero restores the original path, and reducing smoothing restores detail without accumulating distortion. Moving, endpoint editing, cloning, undo/redo and PNG export preserve the chosen geometry. Each slider drag or bulk change is one undo step. Very short strokes remain unchanged; Shift-constrained and linked strokes start unsmoothed but can be adjusted explicitly. Shape recognition remains separate.
-- Show **No unsaved changes** in Settings with **Save** disabled until edits are pending. Show **Unsaved changes — click Save to apply** for pending edits, including accepted chat-language, OCR and automatic-correction preferences. Cancelling a child dialog or restoring the original values updates the state immediately. Separately saved snippets do not falsely mark Settings as unsaved.
-- Avoid creating empty personal-dictionary entries when accepting unchanged automatic-correction options, preventing a false unsaved-state indication.
-- Retain chat-language synchronization from v0.6.53 and **Arc (U)** from v0.6.52.
+- Fix long snippets failing in ChatGPT and Codex desktop editors when only part of the trigger was selected. Selection now uses paced key events in these applications.
+- Recover a partial snippet selection only when the copied text matches a suffix of the trigger in a recognized keyboard layout. Verify the complete trigger before replacing it; preserve surrounding text and restore the clipboard. Far Manager keeps its dedicated selection path.
+- Existing cross-layout trigger recognition and binding one snippet to multiple applications remain supported. Clarify these behaviors in the bilingual snippet guide; no new syntax or settings are required.
 
 ## Validation
-Passed 774 settings/chat-profile checks, 568 input checks, 332 native checks, 126 sync checks, dictionary equivalence (140,939 words), wheel, StayHere, Utilities, screenshot UI/save/registration, 54 updater checks and updater progress checks. Smoothing checks cover defaults, per-stroke and bulk edits, reversible geometry, movement/cloning/endpoints, undo grouping and exact PNG restoration at zero. Settings checks cover clean/dirty/reverted/invalid states and accepted/cancelled child changes. Inspected actual editor and Settings renderings, including Settings at 250% scaling. Published assets, checksums, executable versions, updater selection and bilingual Wiki pages are verified during publication.
+Passed targeted native partial-selection recovery, including the ChatGPT process selection policy, 776 settings/chat-profile checks, 568 input checks, 332 native checks, 126 sync checks, dictionary equivalence (140,939 words), wheel, StayHere, Utilities, screenshot UI/save/registration, 54 updater checks and updater progress checks. The reporter confirmed successful expansion in the actual chat, including typing in another layout. The broader snippet suite encountered foreground loss in its buffered Enter scenario; that run is not counted as passing. Release package, version, checksum, updater and published Wiki verification are performed as part of publication.
 
 ## Upgrade and compatibility
 Choose **Update** in the tray menu. Legacy v0.3.0–v0.4.1 clients first receive the v0.4.2 compatibility bridge, then the current full release. v0.2.3 and earlier require manual installation.
