v1.4 — KSV

v1.4 October 29, 2026 · Release notes

The biggest update since 1.0: Windows and Linux keyboards, AZERTY, and keys that read like the real ones.

Keyboards

  • MacBook or Windows / Linux, QWERTY US or AZERTY FR, from the menus above the keyboard. Your keys carry over when you switch
  • AZERTY is ISO, like the real thing: the L-shaped return, the short left shift and the extra < key
  • Every symbol key shows both its characters, the shifted one on top, sized after a real MacBook
  • Windows / Linux is a plain laptop layout, a Framework's: a wider ctrl, fn, the super key, alt, alt gr and a right ctrl
  • Pick your super key: the Windows, Linux or Framework logo, with or without its word, or just super

Keys as printed

  • On a MacBook, modifiers now read as printed: control, option and command in full, shift, tab, return and delete as a glyph alone. Custom modifiers brings back KSV's own labels
  • The US MacBook's square \ key and wider tab

More room for the keyboard

  • The sidebar folds away with ⇧S or the button top right, and the keyboard takes the room. ⇧D and ⇧C then show a thumbnail of what went out: click it to see it large
  • On the keyboard, it leans slightly toward your cursor and the controls around it step back
  • The options that change how keys behave (hyperkey, distinguish L/R, combo mode) sit under the keyboard
  • ⇧L is gone

Archive
