[V2] A way to reduce animation when mousing over clipboard entries #866

Before Submitting Your Feature Request

Problem

I just tried out Maccy 2.beta.15 after Maccy 1.0, and I found the animations that happen when mousing over clipboard entries annoying (as the full view of that clipboard entry expands). They are especially headache-inducing if you move the mouse up and down and want to see several clipboard entries expanded.

I tried the Mac OS X "reduce motion" option, and while that helped slightly, it was still annoying.

Solution

Make those animation far less prominent by default and/or have an option to disable them entirely.

I don't remember them being nearly as annoying in 1.0.

Cc: #819, which I think would also be helped by this. You can see the animation I'm talking about in the very beginning of the video at https://github.com/p0deje/Maccy/issues/819#issuecomment-2267491100. However, this request is different; I'd like that animation to just not happen entirely or be far less prominent.

@ilyagr I agree with you and I'd like the animation to be disabled but there is no way to do that using built-in SwiftUI as I described in #819. For now, I'd like to focus on releasing 2.0 and later address this inconvenience in 2.1 or implement a different approach to previews (such as a detached popover or a sliding out area).

I see, I previously missed the relevant sentence in the other bug's discussion. Sad, but it makes sense.
