What's Changed in Instant Timer 2026.2

This is a new version for the NV Access Add-on Store. The 2026.1 package is left unchanged.

Changes

  • New layer shortcut: NVDA+Y (was NVDA+E), to avoid a conflict with the Instant Access add-on.
  • Renaming a running timer no longer stops it. Changing only the label keeps the countdown going; changing the duration still resets it. Saving is now announced.
  • Report all (A) now includes the stopwatch when it is running or paused.
  • Active timers survive an NVDA crash: they are saved on every change, not only when NVDA exits.
  • Settings are saved safely: config.json is written atomically, so an interrupted save can no longer wipe your labels and durations.
  • Reset to factory defaults now warns that running timers will be stopped.

Fixes

  • The command layer always closes, even if a command fails, so Space and the other layer keys are never left captured.
  • Opening a second duration dialog now focuses the one already open.
  • Silencing or resetting no longer cuts off other NVDA sounds; only the alarm is stopped.
  • The early warning beep no longer sounds immediately for timers shorter than the warning lead time.

Requirements: NVDA 2024.1 or later (tested up to 2026.2).
