fix

• fix block cursor repositioning that was wrong after Linewise pasting in TextAreas on lines that start with blanks

improve

• the Characters Window will now show on top of Wooshy rather than under it

kV68: The PG-R & Electron Families Makeover Edition.

summary: Vim motions that modify content have been rewritten for the PG-R and Electron Families so that they're now always 100% consistent and awesome. see below for details.

improve

• Families work on a per-app basis. but some apps mix restricted UI Elements with non-restricted ones. when that happened, with the PG-R and Electron Families, motions that were applied on non-restriced UI Elements would delete a bit more than wanted. an obvious example was the Safari URL Bar. while kV's motions would work perfectly in HTML inputs or textareas, they would delete an extra character in the URL Bar. the PG-R and Electron Families have been rewritten so that this doesn't happen anymore. you have probably no idea what i'm talking about. fine. just keep enjoying kV.
• update The Wizard for Airmail, as the Airmail composer now supports the macOS Accessibility!

kV67: The Bye-Bye Monterey Edition.

kV62: The Technically-More-Right Edition.

summary: esc now behaves closer to the Vim reality. and also you can hide the Menu Bar Icon hehe.

improve

• so in case you use esc to enter Normal Mode, now pressing esc again will NOT send you back to macOS, except if you chose to override the macOS native esc with double esc. makes no sense? check the settings and try. this change makes the esc motion match Vim's behavior better when in Normal Mode.

new

• add setting to hide the Menu Bar Icon if you don't wanna people know that you're using kV (coz that'd be too awesome and make them jealous)

• update Notes description in The Wizard because in some cases you may want to enforce the Key Mapping Family
• update the Paddle Framework which should improve the robustness of the Licences checks (hopefully no more Expired Licenses that are not expired)

• add the new (accessible aww) WhatsApp to The Wizard
• add Microsoft Outlook to The Wizard
