Barrier 3.4.6 extends the macOS Magic Keyboard forwarding that began in 3.4.2.

Bug fixes

  • Forwarded every macOS server key to the client while the mouse is on the client display. Lone Fn/Globe presses, left/right Command, Option, Shift, and Control presses, and brightness keys are now delivered instead of being swallowed, and modifiers held across a screen switch are replayed to the newly entered screen. Only registered Barrier hotkeys stay on the server.
  • Synthesized Fn/Globe and right-hand modifiers as FlagsChanged events on the macOS client.
  • Forwarded the Globe-tap key (key code 179) that accompanies every Fn tap as its own Globe key.
  • Forwarded the Spotlight, Dictation, and Do Not Disturb keys (key codes 177, 176, 178) that F4/F5/F6 produce, and replayed the SecondaryFn flag they carry. Spotlight and Do Not Disturb are verified working; Dictation turnaround is best-effort and depends on macOS accepting the replayed key.

The 3.4 feature set remains unchanged: L-shaped physical-display routing, proximity-gated reconnection, automatic profile selection as monitors change, display wake/sleep coordination, and protocol compatibility with Legacy Barrier 2.4 peers on macOS, Windows, and Linux.

This release publishes the audited source. A public macOS binary is not attached.
