Smarter prediction learning + language-model-viz drill-down/live pulse, plus all the unreleased work since 1.0.14 (IDE-aware Compatibility Mode, selectable merge strategy, SymSpell-backed fuzzy correction, scancode chord forwarding for TeamViewer/RDP, no-auto-cap pills, configurable hold-to-repeat timing, and a pile of UX polish).

Added

  • Click-to-drill-down on the Word Cloud and Word Flow tabs. Click a circle or node to open a side panel listing top successors (word → next), top predecessors (prev → word), and trigram windows (X word Y / X Y word). Successor / predecessor entries are themselves clickable — drill from "asked" into "claude" and from "claude" into wherever next.
  • Live gold pulse on the active edge while typing. While the visualization is open, every keystroke pulses the matching node and edge in the cloud / flow tab (suppressed in privacy mode — never leaks password chars).
  • Auto-compat now covers IDEs that intercept keystrokes, not just remote-desktop clients. VS Code + Monaco forks (Cursor, Windsurf, Codium, Code-OSS, Positron, Trae) and the JetBrains family (IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm, PhpStorm, CLion, GoLand, Rider, RubyMine, DataGrip, DataSpell, Android Studio) now trigger Compatibility Mode automatically — fixes pill duplication when typing into the editor.
  • Selectable prediction merge strategy in Settings → Suggestion Engine. Four formulae: Default (rank-based), Consensus boost (RRF), Confidence-weighted (linear interpolation), Multiplicative (log-linear). Default unchanged for existing users.
  • SymSpell-backed fuzzy candidate generation. Two-edit corrections that the old path couldn't reach (e.g. "becouase" → "because") and non-adjacent substitutions ("rxample" → "example") now surface. ~40× faster lookups on the 10K-word dictionary.
  • Configurable hold-to-repeat timing. Settings → Input → "Hold-to-Repeat Delay" / "Hold-to-Repeat Rate" — lets slow-motor users dial in a click cadence that won't accidentally fire a second Backspace.
  • Auto-detection of remote-desktop sessions (TeamViewer, mstsc, AnyDesk, VNC, Parsec, Splashtop, RustDesk) — Compatibility Mode auto-engages when one is in the foreground.
  • "Saved" toast when editing a prediction's casing — confirms the change stuck without quitting and relaunching.

Changed

  • Targeted bigram reinforcement on prediction click. Clicking a pill no longer re-increments every bigram in the running buffer — only the new (prev, sel) edge gets +1.
  • Backspace as negative signal. Typing a typo, pressing space, then immediately backspacing past the space now retracts that sighting from the n-gram model so typos don't accumulate toward the candidate gate. A word you've typed many times can't be unlearned in one keystroke — the decrement is per-sighting, not per-word.
  • "Remote Desktop Mode" renamed to "Compatibility Mode" — covers IDEs too now. Existing users' toggle preference is preserved via an automatic settings migration.
  • Prediction pills no longer auto-capitalise based on context. Only the "I" family auto-caps. Everything else mirrors the casing the user actually typed.
  • Backspace auto-repeat slowed down (50 → 120 ms) for better controllability.

Fixed

  • Ctrl chords (Ctrl+V/C/X/A/Z, Ctrl+click, …) now work over TeamViewer / RDP / VNC / AnyDesk. Root cause: scancode field was 0 in the synthetic SendInput events, and remote-desktop tools forward by scancode, not virtual-key.
  • Backspace into a previously-completed word no longer produces "backspacbackspaces"-style duplicates.
  • Backspace double-fire on slow clicks — the repeat-timer warm-up swallows the first auto-repeat-boundary keystroke.
  • Modifier+punctuation chords (Ctrl+-, Ctrl+=, Ctrl+/, Ctrl+,, …) now actually reach the foreground app instead of falling through to Unicode injection.
  • Auto-updater now relaunches the OSK after a successful silent update instead of leaving the user without a keyboard.
  • Mid-word right-click capitals (eBay, macBook, JavaScript) are now learned when the user accepts a prediction.

Install

  • First time: download Alpha-OSK-Setup-1.0.15.exe and run.
  • Existing users: the in-app updater will pick this up on next startup if "Check for updates on startup" is enabled (Settings → Updates).
