v1.4.2

nocaps 1.4.2

• macOS: Caps Lock + A + J/L word jumps now work in apps that ignored them. Translated shortcuts are sent exactly like a real keyboard: modifier down, key, key up, modifier up.
• macOS: start with RUST_LOG=nocaps=debug to trace navigation, editing and modifier keys (never letters or digits) when diagnosing an app.

v1.4.1

nocaps 1.4.1

• macOS: Caps Lock + A + J/L now jumps a word left/right (Option+←/→) instead of switching Spaces. The same modifier deletes by word with U/O and moves by paragraph with I/K.
• macOS: Caps Lock + H/; go to line start/end (Cmd+←/→); with A, to document start/end.
• Add Caps Lock + S to any of these to select.
• The window now groups Word jump and Select under "With movement" in the Navigation card, and shows what each sends on hover.

v1.4.0

nocaps 1.4.0

Highlights

• macOS: Caps Lock no longer toggles. It is remapped to a layer key at the HID level and restored when nocaps is disabled or quits.
• macOS: layer modifiers now apply to physical keys (Caps Lock + A + C is Ctrl+C), held Shift/Cmd carry onto layered keys, and nocaps runs without a Dock icon.
• Starts quietly in the tray instead of opening a window.
• New look: Paper & Ink interface and a new icon.
• Native builds for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.

Under the hood

• Key handling is leaner on every platform: one memory load per lookup, no locks on the hot path, one write per event batch on Linux.
• Windows: fixed stray auto-repeat and lost key-ups when Caps Lock is released before the layered key.
• Config saves are atomic.
• Now MIT licensed.
