Pinned windows
⌘U floats a note or text clip in its own always-on-top window.
⌘ U in the detail view pins the open element into its own small window – separate from the main Gisti panel, floating above everything else. Press it again (or the same shortcut on the pinned window) to unpin.
What you get
- A native, resizable window with a title bar (its title is the element’s own title, with a leading ★ if favorited) – no separate app, just a focused view of one thing.
- Floats above other windows, follows you across Spaces, and stays visible even over full-screen apps.
- Text only: pinning works for notes and text clipboard items, the same ones that render Markdown in the detail view. Chats and screenshots/images don’t have a Pin option today; there’s no ⌘U or pin button for them.
- Multiple pinned windows can be open at once, one per element. New ones cascade so they don’t stack exactly on top of each other.
- Each window remembers its own position and size per element. Close it and pin the same note again later, and it reopens where you left it.
Inside a pinned window
A small accessory button next to the traffic lights opens a menu with:
- Edit Text / View Text (⌘ E): toggle editing right there in the floating window; edits save automatically and sync back to the Stream immediately.
- Edit Title (⇧ ⌘ E).
Esc cancels title editing or exits edit mode.
