1. When hovering over a copied item, the options that appear on hover obscure the text.
2. When hovering over an item, key board arrow navigation breaks.
3. There needs to be some kind of animation? or smooothening effect when switching categories.
4. The search bar is broken when compressed, and clicking elsewhere should compress it again.
5. The search filter should just be the categories selected. Select categories with cmd.
6. There're a lot of categories, if there's nothing in them, don't show the categories by default.
7. There is a resize bar at the top lip of the window, don't bother with it. it doesn't allow resizing anywa.yz
8. Get rid of new text clip button. Don't need it.
9. Get rid of compact mode.
10. Get rid of close window. Don't need it. We use the macro from the keyboard.
11. Get rid of the status bar.
# UI Cleanup Resolution
All eleven findings from the original cleanup list are resolved in the current shelf design.
1. [x] **Hover controls obscured clip text.** Hover now expands the preview visually; commands are exposed through the context menu and keyboard, so no hover rail covers content.
2. [x] **Hover broke keyboard navigation.** Hover state is independent from keyboard focus and selection, and arrow navigation clears stale hover ownership without changing the wrong clip.
3. [x] **Category changes felt abrupt.** Search, category, card, and panel changes use short eased transitions and become immediate when macOS Reduce Motion is enabled.
4. [x] **The collapsed search control was broken.** Search has one aligned container: it expands on click, typing, or `Command + F`, and collapses after click-away only when the query is empty.
5. [x] **Filtering was split across categories and a search menu.** Category chips are the primary visual filters; a click replaces the filter and Command-click builds a union. `Command + F` only focuses search.
6. [x] **Empty built-in categories added noise.** Built-in type/sort chips are created only when they have matches or are selected; empty custom Pinboards remain visible by design.
7. [x] **A nonfunctional resize lip was visible.** The shelf has no resize handle and uses its fixed side-shelf frame.
8. [x] **New Text Clip was unnecessary.** The panel, menu-bar menu, and shortcut map no longer expose a new-text action.
9. [x] **The alternate compact mode was unnecessary.** Settings exposes one Side Shelf layout; row sizing adapts automatically to available space instead of presenting a mode toggle.
10. [x] **The panel did not need a close control.** There is no close button in shelf chrome; `Esc` and the configured global shortcut dismiss it.
11. [x] **The persistent status bar consumed space.** The shelf flows directly from its toolbar into the side-rail card list; feedback is shown in the relevant menu or Settings page.
