Prevent search term sharing between MacOS apps

ah that worked, thank you!!

Here’s a funny UX issue with the PDF version of the manual.

On page 253, I see now that it shows the correct text with hyphen

Screenshot 2024-02-15 at 5.59.34 PM

however, if you try to cut and paste that string like I did, when you paste into the terminal, it removes the hyphen.

pasting that highlighted section in my screenshot looks like this in terminal :

$ defaults write com.devontechnologies.think3
ShouldScaleAttachedImages -bool TRUE

I suspect because MacOS copy / paste sees the hyphen which is also a line break, and falsely assumes it is there only to divide the lines but is not actually a “hyphen” character in the string.

A bit of a weird thing and I am pretty sure I’ve done that before with the same scratching my head why the hidden pref didn’t work, so I need to set a big reminder to myself to use devon-technologies.

Just a warning to anyone trying to copy/paste the hidden pref syntax from the manual that it might remove the hyphen on you.
