  • Momentary now asks once, the first time you open its settings, whether it should launch at login.
    It is headless, so an install that never starts with the Mac quietly does nothing after a restart,
    with no window or Dock icon to explain why. Answer either way and it never asks again; if it is
    already set to launch at login, it never asks at all.
  • The settings window no longer opens next to the menu bar panel. With the menu bar item on, that
    panel is the settings — launching Momentary a second time used to put a duplicate copy of it in a
    window. Switch the item off and the window is the settings again.
  • Using the Launch at login switch dismisses the notice above it, rather than leaving it asking
    about a switch you just used.

First release.

  • Tap a modifier on its own and it sends a key of your choosing; hold it, or press it with anything
    else, and it is the modifier it always was
  • Works before you open it: both Command keys send Escape out of the box
  • A rule for each of ⌃ ⌥ ⇧ ⌘, with the left and right side of each treated as a separate key
  • Record any key or combination as the output, not just Escape
  • The panel shows only the rules you have set. The cog reveals the rest, and holding ⌥ while opening
    it shows everything for that one look
  • Hold any modifier and its row lights up — which is how you find a key that System Settings has
    remapped, since a remapped key reports as the right-hand side wherever it physically sits
  • Adjustable hold threshold: how long a press may last and still count as a tap
  • Per-app exclusions, for terminals, virtual machines and remote desktops
  • No Dock icon and one menu bar item, which you can turn off too. Launching Momentary while it is
    already running opens its settings either way
  • The menu bar mark dims while Momentary is off, or while another app holds secure input and no key
    press can reach it
  • Needs Accessibility permission, and asks for nothing else
