Couple of suggestions/remarks:

- Remove the presence of the Dock icon. Yap is the kind of app you just want as a menu bar utility. Like Whisper.

- Add a "Settings..." menu item to the main Yap menu with `Command-,` as a shortcut. This will align it with other apps.

- I couldn't enter F13 as a shortcut.

- I saw there's a transcript history of input. I kind of don't want that to be there. I believe input should be ephemeral and not logged.

Thank you for this feedback! Heard from other folks the menu bar is redundant too - will kill it in the next update and fix the F13 issue.

And interesting re: history - it does have the option to clear, but you’d want that as a setting?

Trying to keep the amount of settings to a minimum - personally finding it overwhelming when apps have too many bells and whistles lol

Honestly I'd ditch the Dock icon and keep the menubar item. For a utility with no other UI to use, that's the way to go, and similar apps do the same.

W.r.t. the history — I'm just saying I don't want my input to be logged at all. It has no utility. It can be discarded as soon as it's pasted. I don't want to maintain a log by pressing Clear every now and then.
