Added

  • Cursor Hints controls in Settings: the on-cursor hint that shows which action just fired can now be turned off in Settings → Appearance — previously the toggle existed only as a toolbar button on the Buttons tab, where several users couldn't find it. A new duration slider (0.3–3.0s) controls how long the hint stays on screen; short durations are no longer overridden by the quick-tap minimum.

Fixed

  • Media keys work in Realtime mode: Next Track, Previous Track, and Play/Pause mapped under Settings → Input → Realtime were held for the whole button press, which macOS treats as scrubbing rather than a skip — so "next track" appeared to do nothing. These keys now tap exactly like standard mode. Fast Forward and Rewind deliberately keep their hold-to-seek behavior, as do volume and brightness keys.
  • "Repeat action while held" is honored on d-pad preset directions: with the Arrows or WASD preset, the repeat checkbox appeared pre-checked but was silently bypassed — the preset always forced held keys, and setting the fourth direction made the whole d-pad look stuck in hold mode. Presets now leave repeat unchecked by default, checking it genuinely repeats that direction, and existing profiles are migrated so held-diagonal movement is unchanged after updating.
