The palette supports search, keyboard navigation, most-used or A-Z sorting, theme selection, and language settings. 🧭 The command palette may show recommendations for other useful ShiftShift extensions. Recommendations are loaded from shiftshift.app, and you can dismiss any suggestion you do not want to see. 🔒 Text, code, and JSON comparison runs locally in your browser; pasted content is not uploaded to the cloud to calculate the diff. The ShiftShift core may contact shiftshift.app for recommendations, welcome/uninstall pages, basic analytics, and account or billing status. ⚙️ Limits: performance depends on input size and browser memory. This is not OCR, video recording, or a file import tool. 🚀 Install Text Compare and review changes without reading every line by hand.
