New action types, more configuration formats, and fixes for problems reported against the original Leader Key.

New

  • Text and Shortcut actions. A Text action types a snippet into the app you came from; a Shortcut action presses a key combination there, such as cmd+shift+4 or ⌘⇧T. Both need the Accessibility permission, which macOS requests on first use.
  • TOML and KDL configuration. Settings → Advanced → Format converts the configuration file to TOML or KDL and back, keeping the previous file as a backup. KDL uses one node per item: application "s" "/Applications/Safari.app".
  • Import any format. Settings → General → Import configuration… accepts JSON, TOML, or KDL, including Leader Key's config.json, and converts it to the active format.
  • Repeat last action. A second global shortcut (Settings → General) and keywink://repeat run the previous action again.
  • App toggle. Optional setting: an application action hides the app when it is already in front.
  • Image icons. PNG, JPEG, ICNS, and similar files work as icons for actions and groups.

Fixed

  • Deleting or renaming a group releases its global shortcut; shortcuts of groups that no longer exist are never registered (Leader Key mikker#289, mikker#290).
  • The configuration is loaded before the global shortcut is registered, so the first activation after launch never shows an empty root (mikker#321).
  • Sticky mode survives an action that brings another app to the front (mikker#223).
  • Settings texts explain the modifier keys once and note that cheatsheet settings apply to the non-default themes.
