New

Improved

Fixed

New

  • Macros can now fire your existing triggers and text expansions as steps. Look for the new Existing Trigger group in the macro step dropdown, with options for Trigger and Text Expansion.
  • New Shortcut button in the modifier bar clears your current selection so you can start a fresh hotkey in one click.

Improved

  • Repeat hotkey runs at the speed you set. At 100ms it previously fired around 8 times a second instead of 10. That drift is gone.
  • Repeat hotkey now registers reliably inside games. Each press is held long enough for game frame-polling to catch it.
  • The modifier bar and view tabs trim down gracefully as you narrow the Trigr window. Buttons drop to a second row before anything gets cramped, and tab labels collapse to icons.
  • The right-hand editor panel auto-hides below 1200px when no key is selected, giving the keyboard view more room. It returns the moment you click a key.
  • Auto-switch to list view kicks in slightly later (900px) so the modifier pills always stay readable on the main row.

Fixed

  • Clicking the tray icon now reliably brings the Trigr window to focus. Previously the window would sometimes open but stay in the background.
  • Opening Trigr from the tray now restores it from the taskbar if it was minimised.

New

New

  • "What's New" button in the title bar. A new button next to the window controls (look for the megaphone icon) opens a popup with the full history of Trigr updates. Click it any time to see what's changed, plus react or comment on any release. This is the first version where these notes will appear inside the app, so you'll see the last few releases when you open it.

What's new in v0.4.18

  • Insert dates, times, and clipboard content into macros. A new "Dynamic Text" step under Type & Keys lets you drop in placeholders for today's date, the current time, or your clipboard contents. Pick the format you want from a dropdown, no need to remember any syntax.

  • Type Text steps now read dynamic tokens. If you've typed something like {date} or {time:HH:MM} inside a Type Text step, it now expands to the real value at runtime instead of being typed literally.

  • Run AutoHotkey scripts without editing them first. Paste any AutoHotkey snippet into a Run AHK Script step and Trigr automatically strips hotkey labels like ^!j:: so the body runs straight away. No more hand-editing scripts to get them working

New

Improved

New

  • Date sidebar in the clipboard panel. Jump straight to Today, Yesterday, This Week, or any prior date instead of scrolling through history. The sidebar updates live as you copy new items.
  • Image lightbox. Click any clipboard image to view it full-size in a centred overlay. Click anywhere to close.
  • Settings sections collapse and expand. Each settings section is now an accordion you can fold up to focus on what you care about. Section order is also tidier.

Improved

  • Clipboard search and filters happen at the database level. Date, app, tag, and text filters now scan your entire clipboard history rather than only the rows currently loaded on screen. Much faster and more complete for power users with thousands of entries.
  • Pro gating consistency pass. Several Pro features (double-press hotkeys, search template packs beyond 5, expansion variants, image expansions, custom clipboard retention) now correctly prompt for upgrade rather than silently failing or resetting on app restart.

Improved

Improved

  • Request a beta key from inside the app. The Request Beta Key button in the upgrade screen now opens a native form right inside Trigr. Enter your email, hit submit, and the request lands straight in our inbox. No more opening your email client or copying the address by hand.

May 21st, 2026

Improved

Improved

  • Pop-up menus no longer get cut off at the bottom of the screen. Menus like the macro step picker, the radial editor right-click menu, and the window picker now flip upward when they would otherwise overflow the viewport.
  • Submenus shift left when they would overflow the right edge. Previously some side menus could disappear off-screen on smaller windows or when the app was docked to the right side. They now reposition themselves to stay visible.
  • Polish across macros, clipboard, settings, templates, sidebar, expansions, and the title bar. Many small layout, spacing, and interaction tweaks that add up to a calmer, more consistent feel throughout the app.

May 21st, 2026

Improved

Improved

  • Auto-switch profile is smarter about editing. Trigr now suppresses profile auto-switching only when you're actively editing inside the app, not just whenever the main window is open in the background. Less surprise switching, more accurate when you do want it.
  • Clipboard privacy controls. New master toggle to pause clipboard capture entirely, plus an exclusion list so password managers, terminals, or any app you name will never have its clipboard contents stored.
  • Remappable clipboard paste hotkey. The shortcut that opens the clipboard popup is now changeable in Settings instead of locked to Ctrl+Shift+V.
  • Pro trial grace period. If your Pro trial expires while you're using a shared config, Trigr keeps things working for 7 days while it migrates you back to local settings, with a banner so you know what's happening.
  • Settings copy clarified. Cleaner labels and descriptions across every section. Tighter, less repetitive, easier to scan.
