– The history menu has been moved to the main menu area, allowing for quick navigation to previously viewed snippets.

– Added the ability to resize the menubar assistant. You can also choose from three scales for the quick look window.

– You can now detach the quick look pop-over by dragging it to its own window.

– Added more navigational shortcuts for SnippetsLab Assistant. You can use Command-1~9 keys to quickly switch between the fragments (up to first 9 fragments), use Command-Up/Down arrow keys to jump to the top or bottom, and Option-Up/Down arrow keys to scroll the page up and down.

– The above arrow-related shortcuts work for the search filter menu as well (you open it by typing “in:” in the search bar).
