Improvements

• Solo modifier key hotkeys — Option, Control, Shift, or Command can now be used as standalone hotkeys (press and release to trigger)
• Left/right modifier variants are normalized so either side works
• Fixed key labels showing garbled text when using non-Latin input sources (e.g. Chinese)
• Plain letters/numbers without modifiers are rejected to prevent conflicts with normal typing
• Fixed Shift+Fn combo not recording correctly
• Duplicate hotkey warning — a ⚠️ icon appears when both hotkeys are set to the same key
• Copy button in history with green checkmark confirmation

Installation

brew tap Stanleytowne/voco
