0.15.1

Improved

• Improved configuration loading and reloading, custom shortcuts, and application switching.
• Reduced repeated work and temporary memory use in grids, UI hints, Text Select, and Quick Switch.

0.15.0

Shortcut changes (Normal): G Grid · F UI Hint · Primary+G Recursive Grid · Primary+F Bisect. Customize in [normal.bindings].

Added

• Bisect mode: narrow the target area with H/J/K/L, without typing labels.

Improved

• UI Hint prioritizes labels near the pointer during full-screen and multi-display scans, with less repeated processing.
• Clearer overlays across displays and scaling settings, with less repeated work and temporary memory use in mode switches, label rendering, and key help.

Fixed

• Fixed temporary-mode shortcut conflicts and movement or scrolling continuing after mode switches.
• Fixed update restarts, permissions, and exit issues on macOS, plus scan cancellation and shutdown cleanup on Windows.

0.12.9

• Reduced temporary allocations during keyboard input handling and action-sequence execution on Windows and macOS.
• Reduced processing overhead in Text Select segmentation and label numbering, and in Window mode panel updates.
• Optimized macOS overlay refreshes to avoid updating unchanged shapes.
• Optimized OCR paragraph grouping, streamed result handling, and overlay rendering to reduce redundant work and temporary allocations.

0.12.8

• Improved preview responsiveness when refining text into words, with less repeated indexing and fewer temporary allocations.
• Reduced search-index preparation overhead for ASCII text in UIHint and Text Select.

0.12.7

Scan resource reuse for UIHint and Text Select to reduce repeated initialization.

0.12.6

Added Text Select mode to select and copy on-screen text, with refinement into words and characters.

[normal.bindings]
c = "text_select"                  # 进入文字选择 / Enter Text Select

[text_select.bindings]
"alt+c" = "text_refine"            # 细分为词语、字符 / Refine into words, then characters
"alt+backspace" = "previous_level" # 返回上层 / Previous level
"ctrl+backspace" = "first_level"   # 重新识别 / Rescan
tab = "text_cycle_page"            # 循环翻页 / Cycle pages
"ctrl+a" = "text_select_all"       # 空输入时全选 / Select all when input is empty
backspace = "text_clear_selection" # 空输入时清空勾选 / Clear selection when input is empty
"ctrl+x" = "text_clear_input"      # 清空输入 / Clear input
"mod+c enter" = "text_copy"        # Ctrl+C（macOS 为 Cmd+C）或 Enter 复制 / Ctrl+C (Cmd+C on macOS) or Enter to copy
"primary+q" = "normal"             # 返回 Normal / Return to Normal
esc = "cancel_selection"           # 返回来源模式 / Return to previous mode
"?" = "key_help"                   # 按键帮助 / Key help

0.12.5

• Improved grid and UIHint rendering and label switching on Windows and macOS, and fixed overlay refresh issues.
• Improved responsiveness and resource cleanup during repeated UIHint scans, reducing temporary memory use.
• Fixed brief input stalls that could occur when quitting or reloading configuration.
• Fixed state handling when repeatedly checking for updates or opening the About window.

0.12.3

• Fixed Chinese text recognition in macOS UIHint.
• Optimized UIHint fusion, text completion, search indexing, and overlap planning to reduce repeated work and temporary allocations. Fixed label flickering during recognition.
• Optimized configuration saves, reducing processing time by about 8% and allocated bytes by about 26% during repeated edits.
• Improved UIHint contour detection for faint outlined controls while reducing redundant pixel processing and temporary allocations.
• All five mouse buttons can now be remapped, and configurable keybindings can simulate mouse clicks.
• Left-click remapping is supported, but not recommended. Once remapped, left-click performs its new action instead of clicking. A classic “Congratulations, you played yourself” moment: you finish the clever setup, then realize you need left-click to change it back 😂. Before experimenting, configure a backup keybinding for left-click; simulated clicks do not retrigger mouse bindings, so there is no loop.
• ⚠️ If you lose left-click, use your configured keybinding in Normal mode to enter Text Input and temporarily restore normal clicking, then fix the binding. If that is unavailable, use the keyboard to open Task Manager (Activity Monitor on macOS), stop KeySteer, and correct the configuration.

0.12.2

• UIHint adds multi-display scanning: first labels in about 0.28 s with 800 controls on two 4K displays (Windows / Hybrid, local median).

[ui_hint]
# window (default): pointer window first
# active: active window first
# screen: pointer's display
# all (new): all displays
scan_scope = "all"

0.12.1

• Improved pointer movement and scrolling responsiveness on Windows and macOS.

0.12.0

• Quieter at idle, quicker to respond. The core loop now wakes for events and scheduled work, eliminating routine idle polling.
• UIHint search prepares work in small batches with input taking priority, rebuilding only changed entries for smoother searches on complex screens.
• Logging now runs asynchronously, reducing disk I/O on the interaction thread.
• ⚠️ Configuration changes: The search input in [ui_hint.search_input_ui] sits slightly higher, with the information panel in [ui_hint.search_info_ui] following above it with a gap. Adjust positions, spacing and appearance in the web simulator. Legacy x_offset / y_offset fields in these two sections remain accepted but have no effect and do not prevent startup.

0.11.9

• Added support for reading and saving configuration files through symbolic links.
• Fixed leftover console windows when launching with arguments on Windows.

0.11.8

• Improved UIHint recognition in the desktop app, reducing incorrectly merged or missing text targets in lists and tables.
• Labels stay more stable as recognition results arrive, with fewer label changes and unnecessary redraws.
• The web configuration simulator now supports direct key remapping, such as mapping T to Home or a key combination.

0.11.7

• ⚠️ Configuration migration: [ui_hint.search_edit_keys] now uses key = action. Mixing old and new formats or conflicting key bindings may prevent KeySteer from starting. Copy the entire [ui_hint.search_edit_keys] section from the new keysteer.default.toml and replace the old section in your user configuration; do not append it. Then customize the keys as needed.
• UIHint search now automatically previews the best match when several results are found. By default, press Tab to switch, Enter or / to confirm the current result, or Esc to cancel. These keys are customizable.
• Search shows the closest matches first. Equally close matches default to Chinese initials → text → labels; you can change this order in settings.

https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/84d0872d-81f6-4e42-aa7f-767061cef646

0.11.6

• Windows x64 now offers three builds: the default AVX2 (x86-64-v3) build, a compatible build for older CPUs, and an AVX-512 (x86-64-v4) build. Fixed instruction-set targets prevent startup crashes caused by changes to the build machine.
• Use the default build for most PCs; if it will not start, try the compatible build. The website and release notes offer brief guidance: once running, let Check for Updates choose the build automatically.
• Regardless of the initially downloaded build, Check for Updates automatically selects the highest level supported by your CPU and OS, including switching builds within the same version. Signature verification, installation, and rollback on failure remain in place. Network fallback consistently uses gh-proxy.

0.11.5

Improved UIHint responsiveness on Windows and macOS, with labels appearing more promptly and fewer pauses on screens with many targets. Across the three target counts below, CPU processing time dropped by 48% on average, with a reduction of up to 67%.

CPU processing time (p50)	Before	After	Reduction
UIHint (300 targets)	0.3310 ms	0.2642 ms	20.2%
UIHint (2000 targets)	4.9206 ms	2.0797 ms	57.7%
UIHint (10000 targets)	60.0125 ms	19.9858 ms	66.7%

0.11.4

• Fixed flickering feedback when adjusting volume, toggling mute, or switching audio output devices in Window mode.

0.11.3

• UIHint search now supports point adjustment: tap Ctrl to switch between typing and adjustment, using your Normal movement keys. Multiple points start at their average center; press Tab to cycle through them.
• Inspect and copy OCR text, accessibility text, coordinates, and live color in HEX, RGB, or HSL. Each of the four fields can independently concatenate selected points or follow the current point. Default shortcuts are Ctrl+1/2/3/4 to copy and Ctrl+Shift+4 to change the color format.
• Improved responsiveness when holding scroll keys and moving the pointer at the same time. Continuous scrolling has its own speed setting, and releasing the key cancels pending scroll frames.
• The web configuration simulator adds point, information-panel, and scroll-speed settings. Color sampling on macOS requires Screen Recording permission.

0.11.2

• Fixed the pause between the first scroll step and continuous scrolling when holding a key. A press scrolls immediately.
• Added a setting to adjust continuous scrolling speed.
• Added the corresponding scroll speed setting to the web configuration simulator.

0.11.0

• Added window multi-selection for moving, resizing, maximizing/minimizing, and closing multiple windows together, with highlighted selections.
• With default bindings, press Alt+W, then Ctrl to start selecting (Control on macOS too; the current window starts selected). Type 234 to toggle windows 2, 3, and 4; press Space before entering multi-digit labels. Press Enter or Ctrl again to confirm.
• Use the usual action keys after confirming: E tiles only selected windows, T combines them into a tab group, and Ctrl+X clears the selection and returns to the original window.

0.10.30

Improved window movement, resizing, and UI Hint search responsiveness, reducing repeated work and temporary allocations.

CPU processing time (p50)	Before	After	Reduction
Move request handling (40 windows)	71.85 μs	0.10 μs	99.9%
UI Hint search acceptance (2000 targets)	241.60 μs	127.65 μs	47.2%

0.10.29

• Improved key-state recovery after input timeouts on Windows and macOS, and fixed layout-note editing during macOS input-method switching.
• Automatic window tiling now skips windows that cannot be adjusted and continues arranging the remaining windows.

0.10.28

• Improved OCR previews and copying by removing extra spaces between Chinese characters and reducing duplicate text at tile seams.
• Windows and macOS share text stitching logic, with reusable scan buffers, fewer allocations, and prompt resource cleanup.

0.10.27

• UIHint now supports searching labels, OCR and accessibility information with /, then copying results with shortcuts.
• Window entry targets fall back when the preferred window is unavailable, and Tab saving now supports Cmd+S on macOS.

0.10.26

Window, Quick, Editor, Restore, and Tabs now support configurable entry targets: active selects the focused window and mouse selects the window under the pointer. Individual bindings can also append a target suffix; omitting it preserves the existing behavior.

0.10.25

Improved UI Hint.

Improved keyboard responsiveness, reducing key processing time by about 15%.

The configuration simulator now compares TOML files and previews import/export changes, highlighting added, removed and modified values while ignoring comments and formatting.

Reload Configuration now fully restarts the app with the new configuration; invalid configuration leaves the current session unchanged.

Key processing time	Before	After	Reduction
p50	160 ns	136 ns	15.0%
p95	163 ns	138 ns	15.3%
p99	205 ns	180 ns	12.2%

0.10.24

• Optimized memory usage during UI Hint scans.

0.10.23

• Fixed blind targeting intercepting Cmd/Ctrl/Alt application shortcuts when the produced character differs from the physical key, preventing character lookup from treating those shortcuts as bare selection keys.

• Normal now offers optional blind positioning: use Grid or Recursive Grid selection keys to move the pointer without changing mode or displaying a grid, then fine-tune with H/J/K/L. Tab/Backspace step back, Space resets, and completing a selection stays in Normal.

• [normal.targeting] can override columns, rows, keys, and maximum depth independently. Recursive Grid also supports minimum-size and per-depth layers overrides. Omitted values inherit from the selected grid mode without changing that mode. Use reset_on to restart after fine movement, clicks, both, or neither.

• Configuration checking reports conflicting Normal bindings with their key, action, and source. Remove or rebind them, or use none to release a key. Existing behavior is unchanged when [normal.targeting] is absent.

• The web simulator adds a switch and settings under Normal → Behavior, a grid-free pointer preview, and borrowed Normal key highlights that appear only while temporary_mode_keys are held.

Enable example

This digit-key layout avoids single-key Normal conflicts in the shipped defaults. Check any custom bindings in your own configuration with keysteer --config keysteer.user.toml --check after saving.

[normal.targeting]
method = "grid"
grid_cols = 3
grid_rows = 2
keys = "asdzxc"
max_depth = 1
reset_on = ["move", "click"]

0.10.22

• Breaking change: Removed mode-badge position, indicator_x_offset, and indicator_y_offset. Both [mode_indicator.ui] and [mode_indicator.modes.<mode>.ui] now use only indicator_offset = [X, Y]. Old fields fail configuration validation; remove and migrate them before upgrading, even if the new pair is already present.
• The offset places the badge's top-right corner relative to the cursor hotspot. Positive X moves right and positive Y moves down; each integer ranges from -32768 to 32767. The global default is [-12, 18]; omitted per-mode offsets inherit it. Drag the anchor in the web simulator and export the result.
• Added the missing embedded Normal defaults: . scrolls left and / scrolls right, matching the shipped configuration.

Migration example

Remove position = "bottom_left", indicator_x_offset = -12, and indicator_y_offset = 18, then replace them with:

[mode_indicator.ui]
indicator_offset = [-12, 18]

For old bottom_left placement, reuse X/Y directly. For bottom_right, add the badge width to X; for top_left, subtract the total badge height from Y; for top_right, apply both adjustments. Dimensions depend on font, padding, and the second held-input line, so dragging in the web editor is recommended. Per-mode overrides use the same format. Other style fields are unchanged.

0.10.21

• The web simulator adds Global settings → Mode badge, with live placement, offset, font, color, and border editing. Optional per-mode overrides remain available in Appearance, and changes export to TOML.

• Mode badges add indicator_offset = [-12, 18] (an i16 pair) and a draggable top-right anchor in the web editor. Shared geometry removes Windows double-scaling placement differences. Global/per-mode styles and legacy placement settings remain supported. See Mode badge style and position.

0.10.20

• Added Text Input for temporary typing from Normal. Ordinary typing passes through, and standard bindings configure entry, exit, and editing shortcuts.
• Supports borrowing Normal with primary and optional binding inheritance. Fixed screen-switch commands such as screen next delivering their results to the base mode instead of the temporary mode.
• Text Input hides its text badge by default. Arrow, Backspace, Delete, Insert, Home/End, and Ctrl/Shift mappings are provided as commented, opt-in examples.

Enable and use

With the new default configuration, press \ in Normal. For an existing profile, add the entry to your current [normal.bindings] and merge the other settings into their corresponding tables. Do not create duplicate tables or replace your existing bindings.

[normal.bindings]
'\' = "text_input"

[text_input]
inherits = []
temporary_mode = "normal"
temporary_mode_keys = ["primary"]

[text_input.bindings]
'enter \ esc' = "normal"

# Optional: send Enter to the app before returning to Normal.
# Replace the grouped binding above with these two lines:
# '\ esc' = "normal"
# enter = ["send enter", "normal"]

[mode_indicator.modes.text_input]
enabled = false

1. Save and reload the configuration from the tray/status-bar menu.
2. Press Primary+E to enter Normal, then \ to type. Press Enter, \, or Esc to return to Normal.
3. Hold Primary while typing to borrow Normal, for example H/J/K/L to move the pointer. Release it to continue typing. Primary follows your existing key_aliases configuration.

Exit keys are consumed by default: Enter does not submit to the application. Use the commented sequence above to submit and return. For multiline editing or IMEs that need Enter, change the exit binding to '\ esc' = "normal". Editing mappings remain commented out until you enable them. See temporary text input.

0.10.19

• Improved window adjustments, maximization, layouts, and undo/redo on Windows and macOS with batched asynchronous confirmation, reducing interference from slow windows.
• Optimized Normal-mode pointer calculations and reused window snapshots and card text to reduce repeated queries and memory allocations.
• Improved background workspace saves, cancellation and recovery, deduplicated error logs, and refined key release during error recovery and native resource management.

0.10.18

• Improved cross-display window detection and switching on Windows and macOS, supporting more windows while reducing wrong selections and unintended window moves caused by multiple displays, title changes, or pointer warps.

0.10.17

• Temporary modes now resolve full chords first and support temporary_mode_passthrough_keys so selected keys can fall through to the active mode, reducing shortcut conflicts.
• Quick Switch triggers now execute their original binding immediately and show the switcher only after being held for hold_ms, keeping normal key response fast.
• Fixed macOS multi-display overlay positioning so panels and window indicators are no longer incorrectly constrained to a single screen.

0.10.16

• Improved overlapping-window switching (window_overlap_next / window_overlap_previous) with less repeated work.

0.10.15

• Added configurable window_overlap_next / window_overlap_previous actions to switch between overlapping windows from Normal mode and center the pointer on the selected window.

0.10.12

• Added configurable window_activate_next and window_activate_previous actions to switch between windows from Normal mode and center the pointer on the target without entering Window mode.

0.10.11

• Window Move now supports Grid and Recursive Grid targeting, so you can precisely place windows across displays with your configured keyboard shortcuts.

0.10.10

• Improved resource cleanup in Window mode on Windows and macOS.

0.10.9

• Improved keyboard mappings on Windows and macOS so shortcuts no longer accidentally inherit held Ctrl, Alt, Shift, or Command keys and feel smoother and more reliable.

0.10.8

• Fixed premature passthrough of custom chord prefixes.

0.10.7

• Fixed oversized quick-switch panels and misaligned mode names on macOS Retina displays.
• Refined quick-switch panel width and balanced side padding based on mode-name lengths for better visual centering while keeping names left-aligned.

0.10.6

• Added quick switching by mode usage: hold Q in an operating mode and press a number to switch, with usage statistics, a blacklist, and configurable panel styling.
• Fixed overlapping text and unwanted borders in the quick-switch panel at high DPI; Recursive Grid now uses large automatic font sizing by default.
• Added window card guide-line visibility, width, color, and opacity settings, also available in the web editor.

0.10.5

• Split window maximization and minimization into separate toggles: F maximizes/restores, while Shift+F minimizes/restores, replacing the three-state cycle. Both shortcuts remain on one help row.
• Customize window card colors, fonts, borders, and percentage positioning, with an independent Editor position override and automatic collision avoidance.
• Added visual card editing in the simulator, including drag positioning, live style previews, and configuration export.

0.10.4

• Configure the initial key-help visibility with mouse_key_help for pointer modes and window_key_help for window modes. Press ? to show or hide either panel regardless of its default.

0.10.3

Fixed window layout, maximization, and key hint issues on macOS.

0.10.2

Fixed an issue where borders, window numbers, and other window state could remain after closing a window.

0.10.1

Improved window movement and closing

• Steadier movement: continuously moving or resizing a window no longer repeatedly repositions the pointer. Small movements accumulate across frames instead of being lost to rounding at high refresh rates.
• Cleanup after closing: fixed an issue where borders and window numbers could remain after closing a window with X.

0.10.0

Major feature update: from pointer control to a complete keyboard-driven workspace. KeySteer now includes a full window-management workflow for moving, splitting, tiling, grouping, and reusing layouts.

• Window management: press Alt+W (Option+W on macOS) to move, resize, center, maximize/minimize, move between displays, or close windows. Control application and system volume, mute, and audio output devices too.
• Choose how to arrange your workspace: Quick provides split layouts; Editor automatically tiles windows and lets you swap, split, and resize regions; Tabs groups windows from the same application or combines your own selection. Restore reuses saved layouts and tab templates. Notes are optional when saving; templates preserve arrangements, not application identities. Every mode's bindings and entry points are configurable.

For users upgrading from older versions, two configuration features available since 0.9.20 are also worth trying:

• Live key_help hints: open a panel to see the current mode's keys and actions. Add "?" = "key_help" to your existing [normal.bindings], reload the configuration, then press ? to toggle it.
• Shift-layer symbol bindings: bind characters such as ?, !, and + directly. Bindings match the character you type, giving frequently used actions more convenient shortcuts.

See the window management guide for instructions and videos, and the configuration reference for hints and symbol bindings. If you use custom binding tables, compare them with the latest defaults and add the new bindings you want.

0.9.21

Added keyboard-triggered mouse side-button clicks on Windows and macOS. Add these bindings to your existing [normal.bindings], reload the configuration, then tap T / Y in Normal mode:

t = "mouse_x1"
y = "mouse_x2"

Side buttons usually navigate Back / Forward, depending on the application. Use actions such as press mouse_x1, release mouse_x1, and toggle mouse_x2 to press, release, or latch a side button.

0.9.20

• Added a live key-help panel showing available keys and actions, with customizable styling.
• Added mouse side-button bindings with chord and hold support.
• Added direct symbol bindings such as ?, !, and +, plus all shifted symbol keys and a key-help preview in the web configuration simulator.

0.9.19

• Window Mover now defaults to Primary+D. Bindings remain configurable, and Primary+S independently switches the pointer display.
• The web configuration simulator now supports importing, editing, and exporting window-movement actions and precision_toggle, slow_toggle, and fast_toggle.

0.9.18

Fixed lost key routes after Reload Configuration, so saved settings take effect without quitting.

0.9.17

Added tap-to-toggle speed actions: precision_toggle, slow_toggle, and fast_toggle latch a speed on the first press and clear it on the next press. The active speed appears below the mode indicator. Parameterless toggle is decoupled from speed state, so both n+Shift and Shift+n preserve the existing combination-key behavior without re-running or clearing the speed action.

0.9.16

Improved Window Mover: maximized windows now move directly to another display while staying maximized, without a restore/maximize flicker.

0.9.15

Added the Window Mover plugin: point at an application window and press Primary+S+D to move both the window and pointer to the next display while preserving the pointer's relative position. Primary+S alone still switches the pointer display. Configure move_window previous or move_window <display number> for other destinations.

0.9.13

Reorganized the internal configuration, mode, and runtime boundaries and optimized large UI Hint label batches without changing matching, occlusion, or display-layer switching semantics. Signed Windows releases can now verify the same publisher, replace and restart automatically after downloading, and restore the previous version if startup fails.

0.9.12

Fixed UI Hint visual recognition failures, missing top status icons, and hints appearing for off-screen list items on macOS.

0.9.11

Improved input and UI Hint responsiveness, reduced OCR scan waits, and strengthened cancellation and resource cleanup on Windows and macOS for smoother, more reliable repeated use.

0.9.10

Fixed held-mouse text and pressed colors sometimes remaining after automatic drag release, while reducing temporary allocations and duplicate work in shared indicator and input-state handling.

0.9.9

Added optional automatic release for modifier-assisted dragging: after holding a mouse button, any modifier combination can pass through and the button is released when pointer movement stops; disabled by default.

0.9.8

Fixed the keyboard toggle state issue caused by the same kind of input transition as the earlier mouse long-press bug: multiple modifiers can now latch immediately in either order, remain held after their physical keys are released, and no longer pass the toggle activation chord to the focused window.

0.9.7

Fixed Issue #1, where a click could be triggered accidentally before a mouse button entered its held state, and upgraded the Rust toolchain to 1.98.

0.9.6

UI Hint now uses a reusable session workspace, an exact X-axis sweep, and a fast path for two-label overlap groups in the common 129–256-label range while preserving the inline path through 128 labels.

0.9.5

Windows UI Hint now scans the window group under the pointer at submission time. Window-context changes immediately clear stale hints and retarget without consuming retries, while Hybrid shares one scan plan and fully cancels recognition and releases generation resources when returning to Normal or Idle.

0.9.4

Cross-platform UI Hint now shares allocation-free text analysis and exact prefix highlighting, with corrected final visual-layer cycling.

0.9.3

UI Hint labels now use tighter spacing and improved cross-platform vertical centering. Exact typed-prefix colouring on macOS uses fewer native layers to prevent incomplete or overflowing highlights.

0.9.2

Windows UI Hint now defaults to Hybrid, merging UI Automation and visual results in parallel to cover window controls. Labels are more compact, readable, and slightly higher; tiled OCR shows its first results earlier, overlays respond faster, rescan position races are fixed, and cleanup and safety boundaries are tighter.

0.9.1

Windows system OCR now tiles by CPU and image size, streams completed regions, and skips unavailable OCR resources entirely.

0.9.0

Windows UI Hint adds on-demand dual OCR with lower capture latency, lower peak memory, and immediate cleanup after scanning.

0.8.14

Further reduce input and UI Hint tail latency and temporary allocations while tightening native thread and unsafe boundaries on Windows and macOS.

0.8.13

UI Hint now consumes scan results without cloning, chord injection avoids temporary allocations, and cross-platform unsafe boundaries are tighter.

0.8.12

Fix update checks on Windows and macOS, open the simulator in the Windows browser, and clean up update workers reliably.

0.8.11

Open the current configuration safely in the web simulator from the Windows tray or macOS top status icon, and fix macOS update-check crashes and worker cleanup on exit.

0.8.10

UI Hint now cancels stale scans immediately on exit, keeps repeated entry fast, and fixes a potential hang when macOS Accessibility permission is revoked.

0.8.9

UI Hint scanning and overlap switching are more reliable, startup and input are faster with lower memory use, and native resource and unsafe boundaries are tighter.

0.8.8

Input response and UI Hint scanning are faster with lower memory use and a smaller package.

0.8.7

Cursor and indicator movement is smoother on Windows and macOS, while key combinations and hold actions are faster and use less memory.

0.8.6

Fixed n = "toggle": hold n alone to keep it pressed, use it with keyboard or mouse keys in either order to lock them correctly, and tap n to release everything.

0.8.5

Windows and macOS now feel faster and use less memory for movement, display, keyboard input, and UI search, with no changes to existing configuration or controls.
