Keyboard Writer Helper v1.9
1.9
- Keyboard hook watchdog. Windows can silently drop a keyboard hook, after which
the app never sees another key and corrects nothing. If you have been typing or
clicking but no key has reached the app for a few seconds, the hook is installed
again.stats.txtshows how often this happened. - New app icon and logo (
assets/), also built into the exe.
1.8
stats.txtnow lists which programs' keys were ignored and why (excluded program,
administrator window, full-screen window, password box), as counters only.- Word, Excel, Outlook, browsers and other writing programs are no longer mistaken
for full-screen games (Focus mode, F11).
1.7
- Built-in fixes from open misspelling data: Wikipedia lists of common misspellings,
the Birkbeck corpus, Peter Norvig's data, LibreOffice AutoCorrect and the GitHub
Typo Corpus. About 3,200 pairs, each checked against Windows' own spell checker and
the app's tests. Credit and licences:THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md. tools/build_open_fixes.pyrebuilds that list.
1.6
- More built-in fixes (hundreds of common misspellings), Windows phrases
(windows defender) and more verbs for subject-verb agreement (it behave). - Words that are not in the frequency list rank lower, so
dehavesbecomesbehaves. itsbecomesit'sin more places (its not,its a,its been).theres,whats,youreand similar contractions are fixed.
