v1.2 — KSV

v1.2 October 29, 2026 · Release notes

The export now looks like the page: same case, same grid, same glassy keys, in dark or light.

Look & export

  • Light theme, a real one: white keys on a light-grey case, and the whole interface follows. Pick the theme and the background (filled or transparent) separately, so a light keyboard on a transparent background works too
  • Frame and grid from the page can go into the export, and the case lines up with the grid, on screen and in the file
  • Solid or translucent keys: translucent keeps the page's frosted look, background blur included in PNG, JPG and WebP
  • Neon selected keys: a sharper bright corner, a darker body, a glow inside and out
  • What you see is what you export: the page shows the export settings live, and the preview is the export scaled down
  • Unavailable keys are always dimmed in the export, as on screen

Interface

  • Cursor light: near the pointer, the keys' and the case's borders light up
  • The panel is now split in two: Style (theme, background, surface, frame and grid) and the output (format, and the resolution right on the scale slider), above the preview
  • v0 is back: the version tag in the footer opens a menu with the first prototype, in a new tab
  • A short note on small screens: the app is built for a desktop
  • Shortcuts follow the key's letter, so ⇧D, ⇧C, ⇧R, ⇧L work on any keyboard layout

Under the hood

  • Exports are written as files in memory rather than giant text strings: lighter at 4×
  • SVG effects use only SVG 1.1, for older design tools
  • The cursor glow works again with Reduce Motion on, minus the motion
  • Fixed the preview showing selected modifier symbols in the accent colour
  • A handful of clean-ups from the October code audit
