When you start scanning, would be nice if the mouse pointer changed to a more "scan-like" image. Much like when you grab a screenshot.

Add a second scan option
=> Scan (select) and Scan (click)
=> Separate shortcut / customizable

The click option looks for a QR around the selection point and attempts to scan that

Introduce an easy method of (auto)updating the application

• check for updates menu item
• check for updates automatically (preference?)

v2.0 currently crashes on Mojave when publishing to notification center is turned on
=> fix crash
=> fix the userinteractions framework integration implementation for mojave

Introduce preferences

• automatically start at boot
• autoupdate preference
• customizable shortcut
• use notifications for QR results

At the moment, the text is copied to the clipboard. I thought it might be an improvement to also show a pane with (a list of) scanned text...

It took forever for me to figure out what was causing this issue, but whenever I have MenuBarCodeReader open the escape button does not work.
It doesn't matter if I use my actual keyboard or applescript's key codes, no programs detect the escape button being pressed down while this application is open.
Pressing down the fn key bypasses this issue.

Changing main screen (multi-monitor setup) should stop scanning if an active scan is ongoing
