QuickDock 0.9.2
Changed
- The Quick Wheel shortcut is now ⌃⌥Tab (Control-Option-Tab). Current macOS doesn't pass plain ⌥Tab to apps, so the wheel never opened. If you were on ⌥Tab, you're moved to ⌃⌥Tab automatically, and the shortcut recorder now explains why ⌥Tab can't be used. The launcher stays on ⌥Space.
This release also includes the 0.9.1 fix: the wheel stays open while you hold the modifier keys and opens the app you point at when you let go.
To update, quit QuickDock (menu-bar icon › Quit) and replace it in Applications. Your items and settings are kept.
Unsigned early-access build. Not signed with an Apple Developer ID and not notarized by Apple. macOS will warn you the first time you open it — see the installation guide.

QuickDock 0.9.1
Fixed
- Quick Wheel: the hold now follows the ⌥ key, not Tab. Before, letting Tab up a moment late closed the wheel, letting go of ⌥ didn't open the chosen app, and tapping Tab again to cycle closed the wheel.
- The wheel's buttons no longer take keyboard focus, so pressing Space can't clear the clipboard history by accident.
Everything else is unchanged from 0.9.0. To update, quit QuickDock and replace it in Applications; your items and settings are kept.
