Any plan to include a tool list that saves offset ? I feel like this is really lacking.

[@yuriy.k]

Can you explain what you mean by "that saves offset"? I.e. how is it different from the current implementation of the tool offset memory?

The Microsoft AI keyboard works well.
Unfortunately I tried the Google keyboard and it only gave the numbers
