PowerToys 0.94.1 released
Microsoft has released PowerToys 0.94.1, a patch update that addresses critical issues in version 0.94 to ensure stability and improve overall performance.
PowerToys 0.94 brought several exciting features, including the introduction of a system for detecting hotkey conflicts within Settings. This new feature allows users to easily identify and resolve conflicting shortcuts, ensuring seamless workflow efficiency. Additionally, PowerToys Settings was enhanced with fuzzy matching, suggestions, a results page, and user experience (UX) polish for faster navigation and option discovery.
Mouse Utilities received an accessibility boost with the addition of "Gliding cursor," which enables single-button cursor movement and clicking for users with limited dexterity or specific needs. This feature is particularly valuable in situations where traditional mouse functionality may not be accessible.
Other notable updates include:
- The installer was upgraded to WiX 5, a more secure, reliable, and community-supported option compared to the previous version.
- Tons of bug fixes and improvements were made to the Command Palette, including visual updates and enhanced support for filters on ListPages (handy for extension developers).
- Hosts Editor now has an optional "No leading spaces" feature that allows active host entries to start at column 0 even when others are disabled.
- Quick Accent supports the Maltese language and remembers character usage across sessions, so frequently used accents appear first.
The release also addressed several issues, including a critical installer setup problem that caused errors during installation on GitHub, winget, or Microsoft Store. A bootstrapper error known as "Failed to load SilentFilesInUseBAFunction.dll (0x8007007e)" was resolved, ensuring successful installations.
