With this release, we’re bringing you better support for international keyboards, as well as a ton of improvements to the hotkey recorder that makes all the features more usable and discoverable.
In practice, it means that when recording a hotkey the default behavior is now physical-key based. We then display the correct printed character according to the active keyboard layout. Once the hotkey is recorded, you have the opportunity to tweak it further, for example by specifying a modifier side, or switching to key-equivalent.
Other improvements include:
- Subtle suggestions of hotkey types to record
- Ability to make more tweaks to an an existing hotkey at any point just by reopening the recorder or simply overwriting it with a brand new one
