Behaviours control what happens when you trigger action via a global shortcut or from the menu bar (these are called Instant Actions).

There are three behaviours available:

1. Replace Selection

Replaces the selected text with the result – ideal for quick edits like grammar fixes or text improvements. You can undo it using β€œβŒ˜Z”.

2. Show Chat

Displays a chat window after the action is triggered, letting you review, adjust, and refine the result. Ideal for more nuanced or iterative tasks, such as drafting or writing an email.

3. Copy to Clipboard

Copies the result to your clipboard so you can paste it wherever needed. Great when you prefer to insert the response manually without modifying existing content.
