2. Select a rule and click the delete icon to delete that rule

Adjust Order

After selecting a rule, you can adjust the rule execution order using the up and down arrow buttons. The rule order has the following effects:

1. In quiet mode, rules are matched sequentially from top to bottom
2. In toolbar mode, rules are displayed in the toolbar from top to bottom

Switch Execution Mode

TextGO provides two execution modes: Quiet Mode and Toolbar Mode. Different modes are suitable for different usage scenarios, and choosing wisely can significantly improve work efficiency.

Quiet Mode

After selecting text and triggering, the action is executed immediately without requiring additional operations.

Features:

• Fast and efficient, seamless workflow
• Suitable for deterministic processing tasks
• No interface interruption, focus on current work

Applicable Scenarios:

• Simple text conversion operations (e.g., naming style conversion)
• Clear action commands (e.g., opening URLs, copying text)
• Scenarios requiring quick consecutive operations

Toolbar Mode

After selecting text and triggering, a floating toolbar is displayed where you can choose from multiple actions.

Features:

• Intuitive visual interface
• Supports multiple processing methods
• Allows previewing execution results

Applicable Scenarios:

• When the same text has multiple optional processing methods
• When you need to preview processing results before making a decision
• When uncertain which action to use
