Keyware 1.4.1

Keyware 1.4.1

This release includes everything from 1.4.0 and 1.4.1. The in-app update check reads this release.

1.4.1

• Optional Advanced scripting, off until you turn it on in Settings. Manual and Text mode stay the same. A script can branch on the app, profile, setup, or held modifiers, then type, click, open something, or run the normal action with do. It cannot open a shell, run a command, or wait more than 2 seconds. The keyboard hook never runs it. Pause and Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Esc stop it between steps and release keys it pressed.
• The hook timer checks the config file at most twice a second, log lines from the hook are written off that thread, and the mouse hook remembers which buttons are bound.

1.4.0

• Phone Link and other Microsoft Store apps open from the Start menu name (an app id), a shortcut, App Paths, or PATH. A missing path is reported and not launched.
• Text mode matches Phone Link, Settings, Calculator, Edge, Chrome, VS Code, Spotify, WhatsApp, Discord, Teams, and other installed names on this PC.
• Tab works in a shortcut, as the key you press and as the key Keyware sends.
• Scroll Lock, Page Up, Page Down, Home, End, Delete, Insert, Print Screen, and Pause/Break work as triggers and as output.
• Once a day Keyware asks GitHub which release is current. A banner can open the Microsoft Store for the Store app, or keyware.site for the portable exe. Nothing is downloaded. Later and Skip this version hide it. Settings can turn the check off. Offline stays quiet.

Store package

• Keyware-1.4.1.0.msixupload is the x64 and ARM64 bundle for Partner Center. It is attached to this release and is not submitted to Partner Center from here. Keyware.exe remains the unsigned portable build. Windows SmartScreen may warn on first run.

Keyware 1.3.9

Keyware 1.3.9

Text mode

• The box asks "What should this key do?" and shows examples. A normal sentence is enough.
• If you do not name an app, the shortcut works in every window. The proposed card says Every window.
• Say "in Chrome" or "while gaming" when it should work only in that app.

Calculator

• "F7 opens Calculator" opens the Calculator app (calc.exe) in every window.
• A binding saved as open_calculator now opens calc.exe. Other bindings and profiles are left as they are.

Notes

• Existing configs load with that one action name rewritten. Nothing else is deleted.
• Keyware.exe is unsigned. Windows SmartScreen may warn on first run.
• Keyware.exe is 64-bit. On ARM64 Windows it runs under x64 emulation. Keyware-arm64.exe is the native ARM64 build of this same version.

Keyware 1.3.8

Keyware 1.3.8

Fixed

• Per-app rules no longer stick a key. With App or Both, 1.3.7 let the key go down and then swallowed the key-up, so the app in front could see a stuck key. The press and the release now both reach that app. App still skips Keyware's action and the hold beep. Both still runs the action and passes the key. A short hold does not type the key a second time.

Notes

• Existing configs load unchanged.
• Keyware.exe is unsigned. Windows SmartScreen may warn on first run.
• This build is 64-bit. On ARM64 Windows it runs under x64 emulation. Keyware-arm64.exe is the native ARM64 build of this same version.

Keyware 1.3.7

Keyware 1.3.7

New

• Setups inside a profile. Give a profile up to 9 numbered setups (for example Minecraft: 1 Elytra, 2 Spear), each with its own bindings. Bindings without a setup stay always on. Hold a number key 1-9 for 8 seconds (changeable in Settings, 0 turns it off) to switch; a small note shows "Setup 2: Spear". Taps and short holds still type the number as usual. The active setup is remembered per profile.
• On/off shortcut with toasts. Ctrl + Alt + F12 (changeable in Settings) turns Keyware off and on; a short "Keyware off" / "Keyware on" note confirms it. While off, every key passes through.
• Per-app shortcut rules. A binding can let a chosen app keep its own shortcut, run Keyware's action, or both. Text mode (AI) understands these rules too.

Notes

• Existing 1.3.6 configs load unchanged.
• Keyware.exe is unsigned; Windows SmartScreen may warn on first run.

Keyware 1.3.6

Keyware 1.3.6 — free, open-source key remapper for Windows.

New in 1.3.6

• Mouse and any-button triggers: bind middle click, back/forward (X1/X2), wheel up/down and tilt left/right, Ctrl/Alt/Shift + left or right click, plus any Windows key code. Plain left and right clicks are never taken over.
• Donate button in the header (opens Ko-fi), next to Settings.

Your settings carry over unchanged.

Windows SmartScreen

Keyware 1.3.5

Keyware 1.3.5 — free, open-source key remapper for Windows.

New in 1.3.5

• Copilot key: Keyware recognises the Copilot key (which sends Win + Shift + F23) as one key, "Copilot key". Bind it to anything; while it's bound, Copilot or Search won't open and Win/Shift never leak or stick. Other Win + Shift shortcuts keep working. Windows 11 also has a simpler built-in option under Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Keyboard > Customize Copilot key.
• Caps Lock: remap it, give it tap and hold actions (for example tap = Esc, hold = Ctrl), or turn it off with the new Do nothing action. Shift + Caps Lock still toggles capitals.
• Tap vs hold on any key: a Hold binding can now have a separate Tap action, from 100 ms (200 ms default), and can keep a key like Ctrl held down while you hold. Keys without a hold action are never delayed.
• Macropads and stream decks: buttons that send F13 to F24 record and bind like any key. Text mode now knows Cursor, Slack, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Photoshop, Premiere Pro, After Effects, OBS, Figma and Blender.
• Keyware.exe --version prints the version (add --out file to write it to a file).

Your settings carry over unchanged.
