What’s New

🛠️ Features & Utilities

• Presentation Mode Fallback (#16): On Windows Home editions where "Presentation Settings" is missing, Win+Shift+P now triggers a "stay-awake" mode to prevent idle-sleep.
• Unix Epoch Hotstrings (#18): Type /epoch, /unix, or /unixtime to instantly insert the current UTC Unix time (POSIX) for logs and APIs.
• Network Adapter Switch: Added a tray option under Windows Utilities to toggle adapters via nadap-switch.
• One-Click Preferences (#17): A single left-click on the tray icon now opens Preferences directly.

🎨 UI & UX Refinements

• Preferences Redesign: Improved layout and wording for clarity. Includes a direct button for Keyboard Shortcuts.
• Tray Menu Cleanup: Removed the separate "Manage Function Keys" entry (now inside Preferences) to reduce clutter.
• Launch Notifications: Added a toggle in the tray to show or hide the startup notification; this preference is persisted in your config.ini.

🚀 Reliability & Infrastructure

• Automatic Update Checks: The compiled EXE now checks for GitHub releases on launch. If a new version exists, you’ll be notified via the tray.
• Intelligent PDF Handling: * The app now automatically refreshes the local Keyboard Shortcuts PDF after an upgrade to match the current version.
  • Improved download logic: The app attempts to fetch assets from the latest release first, falling back to the master branch if necessary.
• Hotkey Fix (#19): Ctrl+Shift+Alt+\ now correctly maps to the physical \ key (vkDC) across US layouts.

Download Guidance

• Recommended: windows-ahk-setup-v3.1.exe (Per-user installer, no admin required).
• Portable: WINDOWS_AHK.exe (Standalone binary).

Notes

• Your existing config.ini in %AppData%\windows-ahk will be preserved during this upgrade.
• The keyboard shortcuts PDF is now automatically generated in the release pipeline, ensuring documentation is never out of sync with the code.
