ZipChord 2.4.1

Fixes

This release focuses on mainly cosmetic issues that could sometimes trigger warnings or errors:
 

• Repeated (or longer) press of the keyboard hotkey for adding a ZipChord shortcut no longer leads to error but re-focuses the Add Shortcut window instead (#214)
• Starting ZipChord after exiting it in a paused mode correctly indicates its status as active (#204)
• Removed the spurious warning message about X number of hotkeys received within an interval (#216)

ZipChord 2.4

New Features

This release includes the command line features for storing, loading, and automatically switching configurations between windows.

See Configuration and Automated Switching in the Wiki for details.

Fixes

• Fixes a bug where installer was not working correctly if the user was logged in with elevated Admin rights (#206)
• Fixes a regression (now with a test case added) where shorthand entries starting with prefix (~) did not work correctly (#205)

ZipChord 2.4 Release Candidate

New Features

This version implements several command line options for storing, loading, and automatically switching configurations based on the active window, as suggested by @lmendez5.

• Implements saving and restoring settings and locales into configuration files from command line (#45)
• Allows automatic switching between configurations based on window titles (#31)
• Provides command line access to pausing and resuming ZipChord and for reverting to normal operation

See Configuration and Automated Switching in the Wiki for details. I'm open to tweaking the functionality based on feedback.

ZipChord 2.3.1

Fixes

• This fixes a bug where typing a shorthand in a way that can be considered a chord could hang the app in some situations (#200)

ZipChord 2.3.0

New Features

• Added typing efficiency showing percentages and graphical representation of chords, shorthands, and manual typing over the last 100 words. (#113) (See documentation)
• Chords can now also be capitalized by pressing and releasing Shift before using the chord (#185)
• Pressing Shift also enables shorthand recognition (without capitalizing the word) after moving the caret
• Backspace can now be used to correct typing of a shorthand, and it will be correctly recognized (#159)

Improvements and Fixes

• Fixed regression bug that prevented adding chord prefixes and suffixes to shorthands (#195)
• Improved installation and first run experience
• Under the hood improvements in handling of UI and settings

ZipChord 2.2.2

Improvements and Fixes

• Adds a better mechanism for removing smart spaces around numbers, for example in 2.2, 1,000, or .5 (see #186 for details.)
• This also fixes bug #189 where attempting to type "text.)" led to incorrect output
• Fixes a bug which caused hints for shortcuts not to be shown (#188)

Note:
This version replaces the attempted workaround for smart spaces between full stops and numbers that was introduced briefly in version 2.2.1, such as:

. 0	.0
. 1	.1

If you added these entries to your dictionary, you should remove them.

ZipChord 2.2.1

Fixes and Improvements

• Words with capital letters after the first character (USD, PvP, posX) now do not trigger shorthands (based on #123)
• Default dictionaries now avoid unwanted smart spaces after punctuation* (See #127 and #133 for details)
• Fixes a bug in expanding infix chords (#182)
• Fixes a regression in version 2.2 for a bug which did not have a test case (#169)
• Under the hood improvements, including in testing console and in mechanism for smart space followed by a manual space

ZipChord 2.2.0

New Features

• This version implements the 'chained chords' feature (#155) (referred to as compound chords previously)

Improvements

• Fixes bugs in the Test Console.

See chained chords in the documentation for information on how to use this feature.

ZipChord 2.1.3

Changes and Improvements
This version has minor fixes and improvements:

• You can now use Ctrl-Backspace in the Add Shortcut dialog box (#172).
• When "Restrict chords while typing" and "Delete mistyped words" are both enabled and a non-existing chord is registered while typing a word, this input is now left alone. (Because it is safe to assume it was intended as normal typing).
• Fixed a duplicate hotkey accelerators in the main ZipChord window which was accidentally introduced during previous UI redesign (#171).

ZipChord 2.1.2

Changes and Improvements

• You can now use a chord immediately after a mistyped chord is deleted (#168). This fixes a bug that was blocking chords when both "Delete mistyped chords" and "Restrict chords while typing" were active.
• A smart space is no longer inserted when you move the caret to a new location and type a punctuation (#169).
