BugListing

1. Green Tone Mismatch Between Mouse and Keyboard

   • Issue: The green color tone rendered on the mouse differs visually from the green tone on the keyboard.
   • Expected: Both input devices should display an identical green shade.

2. Keyboard Style "Apple Standard" Resets Color State

   • Issue: Changing the keyboard style to "Apple Standard" and then navigating back resets the custom color to default white rather than remembering the previously selected color.
   • Expected: The previously selected color should be remembered and restored upon returning.

3. "Only Show Key Combinations" Ignores Mod + Arrow Key Shortcuts

   • Issue: The filter option "Only show key combinations" does not trigger or render shortcuts involving modifier and arrow keys (e.g., Cmd + ← / Ctrl + →).
   • Expected: Mod + Arrow Key combinations should be recognized and displayed alongside other shortcuts.

4. Color Customization Menu for "Own" Keyboard Style

   • Feature: Selecting the "Own" keyboard style currently does nothing.
   • Proposal: Opening "Own" should display a customization menu allowing users to set three specific colors:
     • Keybase color
     • Background color
     • Key text/legend color

Hey there, @hajiboy95! Thanks for taking the time to report this and describe the customization you’d like to see. We really appreciate the feedback!

Quick question regarding bug 4:
Where do you see the ‘Own’ keyboard style, and which existing preset should it initially resemble? Maybe you can attach a screenshot so I have better understanding?

@esphynox thank you so much for your quick response. Just got the german version where it says "eigene.." but didn't realize that actually after this the fields below change. So it's not a bug. Works as intended. Would be nice to have a little "animation" which shows a new menu spawning out of that selection or something, very little nit here, but it made me list this bug, so maybe a good measurement against future accidental files. :D Sorry for that.

No problem at all, @hajiboy95 !

Ok, for this problem:

"Only Show Key Combinations" Ignores Mod + Arrow Key Shortcuts

I think if you enable this setting - arrows should present for shortcuts.

This one is a problem indeed, will work on it

Thanks for comming back on this so fast.
Indeed it does, but then arrows allone show too :D I'd love to have the option to treat arrows as a "normal" key too, so they only appear together with mod keys. tbh if I think of it I don't know a setting where someone would complain about it if that would be covered too in the show key combinations only options :D so not removing this, just enhancing the toggle option on top. But it's a nit
