5.2.0

Added

• Added directive @virtual-keys-toggle, which allows to change the behavior of virtual keys in outputs (#309). e.g.

  @virtual-keys-toggle true   # true is (still) the default
  
  # toggle Virtual1
  F1 >> Virtual1

  @virtual-keys-toggle false
  
  # press Virtual1
  F1 >> Virtual1
  
  # release Virtual1
  F2 >> !Virtual1
  
  # toggle Virtual1
  Virtual1{F3} >> !Virtual1
  F3 >> Virtual1

Fixed

• Improved performance of sending mouse events on Windows (#300).
• Fixed output on release with together groups (#306).

• Ignoring key repeat also when mouse was clicked (#294).
• Fixed keymapperctl --toggle when invalid key is passed.

5.0.0

The reason for the major version number increment is mainly because of the changed behavior of ;. Up until 4.9 it was documented to start comments like #. Otherwise all configurations should work like before.

Added

• Allow to separate multiple mappings on one line with ;. This is useful for macros which generate multiple mappings. e.g.:

  swap = $0 >> $1 ; $1 >> $0
  swap[Y, Z]

• Allow to add mappings for inputs which are released. e.g.:

  # trigger when A is released
  !A >> B
  
  # trigger when B is released while A is held
  A{!B} >> C
  
  # trigger when B is released while A is NOT held
  !A !B >> C

• Toggling virtual keys can also have immediate effects. Using them as modifiers is toggling them twice:

  # toggle Virtual1 before and after pressing B
  # this effectively maps D to A B C
  Virtual1 >> A ^ C
  D >> Virtual1{B}
  
  # {} may also be empty. This maps C to A B
  Virtual2 >> B
  Virtual1 >> A Virtual2{}
  C >> Virtual1{}

• Automatically replace Virtual with an unused virtual key. e.g.:

  # assign different virtual keys to VimMode and CapsWord
  VimMode = Virtual
  CapsWord = Virtual

• Added keymapperctl operation --notify for showing notifications (#282). e.g.:

  notify = $(keymapperctl --notify "$0")
  F1 >> notify["Test"]

• Added toggle-active directive, which allows to set a sequence that de-/activates keymapper (#283). e.g.:

  @toggle-active ScrollLock

• Added include-optional directive, which includes a file but does not fail when file does not exist.

Fixed

• Fixed suppressed modifiers getting reapplied (#291).
• Fixed loading config from "%HOME%\.config\keymapper" on Windows (#292).
• Properly releasing keys when UAC prompt appeared on Windows.

4.12.0
