Paste and shortcuts in tabs drawn with Edge's engine.
Paste, copy and the rest work in WebView2 tabs
In a tab drawn with Edge's engine (Google Messages, or any tab switched with
Draw with Edge's engine (WebView2)), Ctrl+V did not paste, and Ctrl+C,
Ctrl+X, Ctrl+A, Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Y did nothing either. Jackdaw was taking those
keys for its own menu instead of letting the page have them. The page now
gets every editing key.
Jackdaw's shortcuts work from inside them
Ctrl+Tab, Ctrl+Shift+Tab, Ctrl+1 to Ctrl+9 and Jackdaw's other shortcuts now
work while a WebView2 tab has the keyboard. Most of them were not reaching
Jackdaw at all.
Unsigned build. Windows SmartScreen will warn on first run:
choose More info -> Run anyway.
Nothing else to install. The Signal tab drives a real
signal-cli process, and both it and the Java runtime it needs ship
inside the app -- so Signal works on a machine that has neither.
That is most of the download size.
Signal links this machine as a secondary device by QR. As with every
linked device, existing conversations do not arrive by linking: the
tab starts empty and fills as messages arrive, and contacts and groups
do sync. To bring older messages over, use Import history from a
phone in the Signal sidebar, which reads a backup made in Signal on
the phone.
Linux: install the .deb on Debian or Ubuntu -- it is the one
most people want, and unlike the AppImage it does not need libfuse2,
which Ubuntu has not shipped by default since 22.04. The rpm and
pacman packages are built on Ubuntu but target Fedora and Arch. The
AppImage suits anything else, given libfuse2.
