new

• add Le Dot . motion for Keyboard Strategy Normal Mode mostly d moves
• add Microsoft OneNote to The Wizard
• add port to The Wizard

kV43: Le Dot Edition, Part 1.

summary: ok, so the repeat motion is, of course, more complicated than expected. it doesn't repeat the last motion, it repeats the last overall change. which means, it tracks also what you type in Insert Mode. that's a big one, because in Insert Mode, with kV, macOS takes over, and you could delete text using the mouse, or changing text using other programs, etc. so, this is gonna be a much harder take than expected. we're gonna get there slowly. currently the . moves repeat correctly the d moves (and a few others), when using the Accessibility Strategy in Normal Mode. next will be the same for the Keyboard Strategy. then we'll see!

summary 2: because moves have to be done individually, please ask for what you need in priority. thank you!

fix

• fix cF, cf, cT and ct that were not setting the last left-right motion search properly (hence, next ; and , not working)
• fix dF, df, dT and dt that were not setting the last left-right motion search properly (hence, next ; and , not working)
• fix Keyboard Strategy Visual Mode u that actually shouldn't do anything as the motion is not doable with key remapping

• add Accessibility Strategy Visual Mode Characterwise and Linewise U and u
• add Adobe Illustrator 2022 to The Wizard
• add WezTerm to The Wizard

• fix Accessibility Strategy Normal Mode p Linewise on the last line of TextAreas when the clipboard contains an empty line (usually after changing/deleting an empty line)
• fix Accessibility Strategy Normal Mode p Linewise caret repositioning after the motion when the pasted line was empty or blank
• fix Accessibility Strategy Visual Mode Linewise _, $, g_, g$, gj, gk, j and k in some specific cases when using count where Anchor and Head selection weren't being set properly, which could affect the subsequent motion

kV40: The Oops Edition Bis.

kV39 and kV40 came out quickly one after the other, so i didn't change the release notes, but while kV39 was fixing the j being eaten, it would sometimes not show on the right app for some background apps like Alfred, Raycast etc. it now all works good.

summary: regex in search patterns. some QOL improvements for Safari. new apps in the Wizard. new Visual moves for ().

improve

• Accessibility Strategy Normal Mode ? and / will now accept regex patterns
• if not on TextAreas, kV will switch automatically from using the Accessibility Strategy to using the Keyboard Strategy for G and gg. the use of the Accessibility Strategy for G and gg is not useful, but switching to the Keyboard Strategy will allow the use of G and gg in other apps that listen to keyboard events, like Wooshy :)) if you use kV with Wooshy to navigate the Targets, you can now therefore remove Wooshy from the Key Mapping Family
