  • v1.5 Release: v1.5
    screenkey 1.5
    
    - New LockScreen detection from Marc Lavallée prevents passwords from
      being shown right after unlocking the screen when possible (new
      ``dbus`` dependency required).
    - Keypad number keys are now displayed correctly (thanks to @Gordin508).
    - Additional mouse buttons are now shown as "M[x]" instead of being
      incorrectly displayed as Ctrl/Alt modifiers (@Gordin508).
    - The new ``--window`` command line flag allows to display screenkey as
      a regular window instead of an overlay. This can be useful for
      recording screenkey as an independent overlay during screencasts
      and/or to manage the window position through the window manager.
    - New German translation thanks to Maik Schmalle.
    - Fix regression that would keep the overlay visible when using Ctrl
      sequences with the mouse visualization disabled.
    - Fix regression causing a backtrace instead of a proper error message
      during initialization errors.
    - Fix crash happening due to screen size and/or resolution changes while
      screenkey is running.

      such as double-click more distinct).

      to shrink the window size.
