Version history

1.1 build 78 (November 25, 2008)

* Added an ability to redefine or assign actions to presses of mouse buttons or the mouse wheel rotation. For security reasons, the ability to use the left mouse button has been disabled (although the button can be used along with modifiers), as users may lose control over their systems.

* Added an ability to assign actions to a sequence of two keys (mouse buttons) or a key combination. For instance: "F, R" or "Ctrl + F, T" or "Alt + Ctrl + Left mouse button, Z". Such key sequences are often used in modern word processors and IDE's.

* Added an ability to allow or prohibit the use of certain keys in specific applications/windows.

* Added an ability to create custom modifiers (up to 16) and assign actions to key combinations containing them. For instance, you can define CapsLock or the X1 mouse button as a modifier named UM1. After that, you can assign actions to such combinations as: "UM1 + S", "Ctrl + UM1 + Q" and others.

* Added an ability to assign actions to dead keys. It was impossible in earlier versions, or the success of this task depended on the keyboard layout used; users could not accomplish this when using German, French or similar layouts with diacritic signs and/or special symbols.

* Added a field for specifying command line parameters in the "Launch a program" action.

* Added an ability to use separators in popup action menus.

* The keys engine has been completely rewritten and optimized with a focus on stability and performance.

* Fixed a bug that resulted in misoperation of actions if modifiers were released too early.

* Fixed a bug that caused modifiers to "stick" or be redefined incorrectly, which resulted in the loss or generation of redundant key codes.

* Fixed a bug that prevented actions from working in combination with the Alt modifier.

* Fixed the problem with incorrect operation of the LWin and RWin modifiers. In earlier versions, their release caused the "Start" menu to open.

1.0 build 52 (October 23, 2008)

* Fixed a bug that caused the program to lock when Alt was pressed (for accessing the main menu) in some operating systems.

* Fixed a bug with the positioning of controls after the first start of the program.

* The main menu has been redesigned in the Vista style.

1.0 build 45 (July 31, 2008)

* Fixed a serious bug that caused temporary system lockups.

* Modified two time insertion templates to work with the 24-hour time format.

1.0 build 32 (June 29, 2008)

* The icon refresh issue has been resolved. Previously, window and menu elements were rendered incorrectly.

* No sound is played when a text containing template keys is inserted.

1.0 build 16 (June 3, 2008)

The first release of Key Manager (version 1.0) is out.
