In PopTranslate 1.4, we've introduced support for the "Double-tap CMD+C" keyboard shortcut to translate selected text. This shortcut can be found and enabled in "Settings" - "Keyboard Shortcuts." There's also a small fix: when the main interface is invoked, the cursor will always be positioned in the text field for translation, making it convenient to paste or type text for translation at any time. Enjoy!
