Pick your own hotkey modifier, and a crisp window icon.
Choose any modifier
The Shortcuts tab no longer offers a fixed list. Press Change, hold the combination you want, and it is captured: any mix of Ctrl, Alt, Shift and Win, two keys minimum. Ctrl+Shift is the default.
Two keys minimum is not a whim. A single modifier would turn Mod+S, Mod+Q and Mod+1–0 into global grabs, so the app would eat Save and Quit in every other application on your machine.
AltGr no longer breaks your keyboard
Windows sends AltGr as Ctrl+Alt. The old default was Ctrl+Alt, which meant Screen Scope won the race against your keyboard: on a French AZERTY layout it took eight characters away entirely — @ ~ # { [ | and \.
The default moved to Ctrl+Shift, which costs nothing. Ctrl+Alt is still yours to pick, but the Shortcuts tab now names the exact characters it would cost on your own layout, queried from Windows rather than guessed, so you see the price before you keep it.
Combinations using Win are accepted too, but Windows reserves most of them (Win+1–0 for the taskbar, Win+Shift+S for the snipping tool). The tab marks the shortcuts Windows refused.
A real window icon
screenscope.ico is now bundled into the exe and used for the settings window. Previously the window got a 32px image drawn in code, which Windows shrank to a hairline at 16px in the title bar. Icons are now loaded at the size the display actually asks for, so a scaled display is not handed an upscaled one.
Upgrading
Drop the new ScreenScope.exe next to your existing config.json. Nothing to migrate: the config format is unchanged, and a file naming Ctrl+Alt keeps working — it just gets the warning.
Also in this release since v1.2
The product is named Screen Scope throughout, the presentation page and the download are linked from the README, and the default presets are named after their hotkey digit.
