Changes

This is a catch-up release covering roughly August 2025 through February 2026.

New distro support

• Add support for Gentoo Linux (portage/emerge, USE flags, Wayland emerge support)
• Add support for AerynOS (moss package manager)^ — community PR from @armerpunkt
• Add LMDE 7 support (handles linuxmint distro ID)
• Support Omarchy on ARM (archarm distro ID)

New features and improvements

• Optimize matchProps calls by hoisting repeated variables out of per-keymap lambda closures — significant config refactor reducing redundant evaluations
• VSCode embedded terminal: copy/paste override for the integrated terminal (disabled paste override that conflicted with selection buffer)
• VSCode Find: Replace All (Cmd+Enter) remap added
• Enter-to-rename made more reliable in file managers
• More robust systemd service setup script, with verbose debug mode split into a separate file
• D-Bus services now handle SIGTERM cleanly and unbuffer output for better log visibility
• Warn about Cinnamon Wayland session bugs when detected
• Handle wrapped process names on NixOS (e.g., /nix/store/.../firefox style paths)
• Show how to open Cinnamon Menu with Cmd+Space in post-install notes
• Bypass the initial install reboot notice when feasible (uinput already loaded)

Fixes

• Fix memory leak in wlroots-dbus service^^ — community PR from @higorprado
• Fix GNOME extension check to look for both user-installed and system-installed extensions (was missing user extensions on Ubuntu)
• Fix numbered tab navigation in Firefox and Chrome browsers
• Fix delete/kill line shortcut in KWrite (uses Ctrl+K)
• Fix Contour terminal decrease font size shortcut
• Catch firefox_firefox app class variant (snap/flatpak naming)
• Update Ghostty app class and keymap for recent Ghostty changes
• Add firefox-nightly to Firefox app class list
• Pin PyGObject<=3.50.0 on systems without GLib>=2.80 (fixes install failures on older distros)^^^
• Handle libgirepository-2.0-dev on newer Debian/Ubuntu (GObject introspection API change)
• Add wayland-devel to RHEL-based package list
• Fix package name and quirks handler for Solus (older versions)
• Install more GTK4 support packages on newer Debian/Ubuntu
• Fix bootstrap script repo directory case after rename — community PR from @keith-ferney
• Fix broken README link for unrecognized keyboards — community PR from @robstrong
• Fix reinstall command script, fix Ark not creating symlinks from zip file
• Remove broken symlinks to service scripts (from previous refactor)
• Remove Dict import, stringify remaining type hints (Python 3.6/3.14+ compat)

Installer/setup tweaks

• Improve logging and quirks handling on Solus (color codes contaminating search output)
• Refine logging of PyGObject version pinning decisions
• Stage future Ayatana Indicators package for Debian/Ubuntu
• Promote repeat_cache keymapper option over ignore_repeating_keys in config
• Update Apple keyboard devices list
• Adjust default throttle delays (8ms/12ms)
• Bootstrap script: reorder options first, quiet unzip

^ AerynOS uses the moss package manager, which required a new package handler type in the setup script.

^^ The wlroots D-Bus service had a file descriptor leak that could gradually consume resources, possibly only on smithay-based compositors like Niri.

^^^ PyGObject 3.52+ requires GLib 2.80+, which isn't available on distros like RHEL 8/9, older Ubuntu LTS, etc. The installer now detects this and pins automatically instead of failing cryptically during pip install.
