  • ✨ New Features
    • frontmost_application_if can now detect overlay windows, such as Spotlight, using the Accessibility API.

      • accessibility.focused_ui_element.subrole_string
      • accessibility.focused_ui_element.title_string

    • You can now generate JSON for Complex Modifications rules by writing JavaScript.
    • Added an "Add your own rule using JavaScript" button to the complex modifications viewer.
    • Added an "Open in external editor" button to the complex modifications editor.
    • Added a "Clear user variables" button to EventViewer. (Thanks to @BarakXYZ)
    • Added to.to_if_other_key_pressed.
      It's now possible to implement "Change option+tab to command+tab" in a more natural way and reliable way.
    • Added to.send_user_command.
      By using it together with an external server built with Karabiner-Elements-user-command-receiver,
      you can execute any action from Karabiner-Elements with low latency. (Thanks to @nikivdev)
    • Added to.from_event,
      allowing pressed events to be passed through as-is.
    • Added relative_to and fallback_to to software_function.set_mouse_cursor_position.
    • Added Enable CGEventTap fallback setting to Expert tab.
      Enable receiving events via CGEventTap for keyboards where IOHIDDeviceOpen fails for some reason.
    • Added Setup tab to Settings.
  • 🐛 Bug Fixes
    • Fixed an issue where modifier keys could remain stuck when physical keyboard events were missed during capture.
    • Fixed an issue where reordering in Complex Modifications and Profiles didn't work properly when dragging while scrolling.
    • Fixed an issue where variables in expressions were not properly initialized when unset.
  • ⚡️ Improvements
    • Changed to call exit instead of abort to suppress crash reports when a fatal error prevents CFRunLoop from running in background processes.
    • If Accessibility permission makes Input Monitoring permission unnecessary, only Accessibility permission will be requested.
