Trigger and application scope

- Press and hold: show it after selecting text by holding the mouse button.
- All: enable both methods.
Selection actions can also be assigned on the Shortcut page. Shortcut actions remain available even when the automatic Selection Toolbar is disabled.
Use Setting > Selection > Application List to control where the automatic toolbar appears:
- In blacklist mode, the toolbar is disabled in listed applications and enabled elsewhere.
