Capslock 0.4.0

What's new

• A clearer first run. Onboarding ends on the complete keyboard. You can browse it before granting keyboard access, and the app says plainly whether it is running your keyboard or only showing a preview.
• Lessons follow your configuration. The first Playground chapter now includes Hyper+Space. If you changed or disabled a key a lesson uses, the lesson says so. Safe Practice previews are marked differently from actions that really ran.
• Profile behaviour travels with your mappings. Choose what unmapped keys do and which modifier sides select a plane. An explicit pass-through is kept apart from a removed binding, and both survive Undo and export.
• Recovery reports what it verified. Restoring Caps Lock reports success only after the system mapping has been read back. When the mapping cannot be read, ownership is shown as unknown instead of guessed.
• Clear local-data and trust boundaries. Statistics explain what a trigger count is and how long it is kept. Shell approval explains that a command runs with your user privileges, may use the network, and is not undone by Pause or Undo.

Since the candidate was cut

Work on 0.4.0 continued after the candidate was cut, and the following fixes are part of the same version:

• The interface was redesigned, with shorter copy, a new ⇪ app icon, and Mac key legends throughout.
• A first run takes over nothing until you finish onboarding or press Start Capslock.
• A recovery record left by an earlier boot no longer blocks activation after an unclean shutdown.
• A newly attached keyboard gets its Caps Lock mapping without Input Monitoring permission.
• Hyper+Escape toggles Caps Lock once per press instead of on every key repeat.
• Editing the configuration file outside Capslock is detected: the app reloads the file instead of overwriting your change.
