A fix for typing across two alphabets. Update both machines to get it: the machine you type on and the one receiving each play a part. 1.4.2 and 1.4.1 still work together, just without the fix. Your pairing and settings stay as they are.

Downloads

  • macOS 13 or later, Apple silicon: Beamer-1.4.2.dmg, signed with a Developer ID and notarised by Apple. Intel Macs are not supported.
  • Windows 10 and 11, 64-bit: Beamer-Setup-1.4.2.exe, or winget install KalkmanCode.Beamer once the winget listing is approved.

The Windows installer is not code-signed, so Windows shows "Windows protected your PC" the first time. Choose More info, then Run anyway. Everything in it is built from this repository.

Fixed

  • Switching between two alphabets typed the wrong letters on the other machine. With the PC on Russian and the Mac on English, say, the Mac got Cyrillic letters, and shortcuts like Ctrl+C typed a letter instead of copying. Each key now also says where it sits on the keyboard, so a shortcut always lands on the right key, and a letter from another alphabet types whatever the receiving machine's own layout has there, as its own keyboard would. It works the same from the Mac to the PC.

Thanks to BaldrCoal for the clear report (#3).
