v0.6.0 Released: August 22, 2026 Latest Release

Packaging updates, performance polish, and browser extension testing

  • Release Binaries: Updated release builds for 64-bit Windows 10/11 (FlitKey-Setup-0.6.0-x64.exe) and Debian-based Linux (flitkey_0.6.0_all.deb).
  • Experimental Browser Extension Source: Source repository now includes an experimental unpacked Chrome extension for browser-specific snippet testing (no published Web Store extension).
  • Snippet & Fuzzy Search Performance: Enhanced indexing speed and reduced memory overhead for large libraries with hundreds of snippets.
  • Platform Detection & Runtime Polish: Improved runtime stability on Windows 11 and enhanced clipboard fallback handling in Wayland desktop sessions.
v0.5.0 Released: July 2026

Expansion packs and a quieter interface

  • Expansion Packs Manager: Six built-in packs — AI prompts, development, customer support, sysadmin and DevOps, design, and everyday productivity — totalling 46 snippets, loaded from a new Expansion Packs dialog. Packs merge into your library without overwriting triggers you already use, and snippets that don't apply to your OS are filtered out by default. See the packs documentation.
  • Custom Packs: Packs are plain JSON files. Drop your own into ~/.config/flitkey/packs/ (Linux) or %APPDATA%\flitkey\packs\ (Windows) and they appear alongside the built-in ones.
  • Redesigned Snippet Manager: Cleaner, calmer interface — cards instead of boxed group frames, a single toolbar row for search and actions, a borderless snippet table with alternating rows, an empty state for new libraries, and row actions that stay disabled until a snippet is selected.
v0.4.0 Released: July 2026

Wayland clipboard and importer updates

  • Wayland session handling: Improved auto-detection for Wayland desktop sessions and clearer clipboard notifications.
  • Multi-Format Importer Speedups: Optimized batch parsing for large Espanso (.yml) and AutoHotkey (.ahk) libraries over 1,000 snippets.
  • Windows Installer Fixes: Added silent installation flags (/VERYSILENT) for enterprise IT deployment scripts.
v0.3.0 Released: May 2026

Fuzzy search and cursor tokens

  • Fuzzy-Search Picker Overlay: Global shortcut (Alt + Space) now supports real-time fuzzy search filtering.
  • Cursor Positioning Token: Support for the {{cursor}} token on X11 and Windows.
v0.2.0 Released: March 2026

PyQt6 interface and tray controls

  • Modern PyQt6 Interface: Complete GUI overhaul featuring real-time search filtering, tag management, and light/dark theme switching.
  • System Tray Control: Quick toggle for global expansion and one-click access to recent snippets.
