Changelog

v4.0 (28 November 2021)

  • The app now works on Linux (via X11 only; Wayland is not supported)

  • The legacy hot-key mode was removed - only the modifier keys mode is available

  • The UI theme is overhauled

  • The converter is hidden by default

  • .NET 6 is used instead of .NET Core 3.1

  • The app's performance was improved, though it's still not ideal

This is the first major version of the app which is not completely rewritten, though it was significantly changed. From now on, most changes (like macOS support) will come as minor versions, and version 4 will be the major version for the foreseeable future.

  • Added the ability to switch between multiple layouts of the same language (e.g. QWERTY and Dvorak for English)

  • Instant switching mode is not experimental anymore and enabled by default

  • Added the ability to auto-configure character mappings
