Follow new updates and improvements to Keyfire.

August 6th, 2026

New

Improved

Fixed

New

  • Launching an app that is already running now brings its window to the front instead of opening a second copy. This works from hotkeys, the radial menu, Quick Search and macro steps, and restores minimised windows too.
  • The Quick Search bar and the clipboard popup can now be moved. Drag the grip handle to put them anywhere on screen and Keyfire remembers the spot. Double click the grip to snap back, or use the Reset position buttons in Settings.
  • When the Quick Search bar sits near the bottom of the screen, its results open upwards so the list never runs off the monitor.
  • The clipboard popup has a new swap button that switches which side the list and the preview pane appear on.

Improved

  • The clipboard popup header is tidier. The search box now fills the full width of the list pane.

Fixed

  • Macros with multiple text steps no longer occasionally paste old clipboard content or skip steps.

New

Improved

Fixed

New

  • Import your expansions from other tools. The new Import From menu in Text Expansions reads Espanso (.yml), AutoHotkey hotstrings (.ahk), TextExpander (.csv) and Text Blaze (.json) export files. Text Blaze forms convert to fill-in fields and formulas where possible, and anything that cannot be converted is flagged so you know exactly what came across.
  • Tables in text expansions. Insert a table from the editor toolbar with a size picker, move between cells with Tab, add or remove rows and columns from a toolbar that appears while your cursor is in the table, and drag column edges to resize. Tables paste with proper borders into Word, Gmail, Outlook and other rich text apps, and fall back to tab-separated text in plain text apps.
  • Text highlighting in expansions. Select text in the editor and choose from twelve highlight colours. Highlights carry through to rich text apps when the expansion fires.
  • Select multiple expansions at once. Ctrl+click or Shift+click to build a selection, then delete them in one go. A Select All option covers the current view.

Improved

  • Sidebar lists across Text Expansions, Quick Actions and Clipboard now use a slightly larger font for readability.
  • Section headers in the clipboard and search panels have a refreshed gold style.

Fixed

  • Autocorrect now fixes words typed with Caps Lock on (like tHE becoming The) and switches Caps Lock off for you, whether or not Shift was involved.
  • Fire on key press no longer leaves Shift, Ctrl or Alt stuck down when the trigger fires at the same moment you release the modifier.
  • Expansions fired into Gmail no longer arrive with stray spaces at the start.

Fixed

Fixed

  • Light theme gold accent restored to its original brighter shade, matching dark theme. It had shifted to a darker version in v0.7.0.

New

Improved

Fixed

Keyfire 0.7.0 adds a full Autocorrect area to Text Expansions. Typos are fixed the instant you finish a word, in any application, without breaking your typing rhythm. Every part of it is opt-in and Pro.

New

  • Autocorrect (Pro). Misspellings are corrected the moment you end a word with Space, Enter, Tab or punctuation. Corrections keep your capitalisation, and the whole replacement lands in one input burst.
  • Your Corrections. Build your own list, grouped by correct word with as many misspellings as you like. Your entries always win over the bundled packs.
  • Five bundled packs, each with its own switch and all off by default. Common Typos covers around fifty everyday slips. The Extended Dictionary adds over four thousand English misspellings. Days Of The Week capitalises monday to Monday. Symbols converts things like (c), arrows typed as dash and angle bracket, fractions such as 1/2, comparisons like >=, and currency shortcuts such as (eur). Emoji inserts around seventy-five emoji by name, for example (smile) or (thumbsup).
  • Superscripts and subscripts. Type m^2 or co_2 and the trailing number converts in place. Perfect for engineering and chemistry notes.
  • Typing fixes with individual toggles: double capitals (HEllo becomes Hello), accidental Caps Lock (tHE becomes The and Caps Lock switches off), and sentence capitalisation after full stops and new lines.
  • Undo with Backspace. One press immediately after a correction restores exactly what you typed. Undo the same correction twice and Keyfire offers to stop correcting that word. Nothing is ever changed without your say so.
  • Fine control over every entry. Switch off any single bundled correction, or hit Customise to copy it into Your Corrections and change what it produces.
  • Import and export your corrections as a CSV file.
  • Excluded apps for autocorrect, plus a separate exclusion list for text expansions under Settings, so each can be silenced per app independently.
  • Fire on key press (Settings, Performance section). Triggers can now dispatch the moment you press the key instead of on release, for a snappier feel.
  • Clipboard privacy: copies that password managers such as 1Password, Bitwarden and KeePass mark as private are never recorded, matching how the Windows clipboard history behaves. No setup needed.
  • Analytics now counts typos fixed, with its own row in the activity breakdown.

Improved

  • Macro speed presets now apply correctly, and a new Instant preset removes all keystroke delay. If you had a custom speed slider set in an earlier version, your stored value now takes effect.
  • The Compatibility section in Settings is now called Performance.
  • Light theme readability overhaul: text, buttons and status colours were darkened to meet accessibility contrast standards, and primary buttons now use dark text on gold in both themes.
  • Buttons across the app give press feedback, keyboard focus outlines are consistent everywhere including popups, and long autocorrect lists use multiple columns on larger windows.

Fixed

  • Expansion triggers containing shifted characters now fire reliably when Shift is pressed partway through typing the trigger.

New

Improved

Fixed

New

  • Keyfire now reads the text inside images you copy. Screenshots are scanned automatically in the background, so the words inside them are ready when you need them (Pro).
  • Search inside images. Clipboard search now also matches text found inside your copied images (Pro).
  • Send Hotkey actions can now fire mouse clicks. Record combos like Shift+Left Click in the action editor and play them back exactly, modifiers included.

Improved

  • Much better text extraction accuracy on coloured or low-contrast text, such as red text in a document.

Fixed

  • Text extraction no longer misses the bottom rows of tall screenshots.

July 28th, 2026

New

Improved

Fixed

New

  • Trigger recording now captures mouse buttons and the scroll wheel. Click Record, then press a combination like Alt + Right Click or Ctrl + Scroll Up to set it as a trigger.
  • Hold triggers now work on mouse buttons (Pro). One button can carry three actions: tap, double press, and hold. A quick click still behaves normally.
  • Shorter licence keys. New keys use the KEYFIRE format and paste cleanly even with stray spaces or line breaks. Existing keys keep working unchanged.

Improved

  • Pasting from the clipboard popup no longer reorders your history. Copy several items in a row and paste them back in sequence without the list shuffling. Clicking Copy on an item in the main panel still floats it to the top.
  • The radial menu now has a default hotkey on fresh installs: Ctrl+Shift+Space. Existing setups are not changed.
  • The sidebar list now matches the view you are on. The keyboard view lists keyboard triggers and the mouse view lists mouse triggers.

Fixed

  • Reassign and Duplicate now work for every trigger, including mouse triggers and items that only have a double press or hold action. All three press modes move together, so nothing gets left behind on the old key.

July 28th, 2026

New

Improved

Fixed

New

  • Macros gain a Files category. Create Folder makes a new folder where you are working in Explorer or at a chosen location. It can ask for the name when it runs, copy a template folder's contents into the new folder, and number folders automatically with the {inc} token.
  • Copy Files and Move Files steps send your selected files, or files matching a pattern like *.pdf, to a chosen folder or a named subfolder of the current one. Transfers use the native Windows progress dialogs and are recoverable from the Recycle Bin.
  • Sort Files step (Pro) routes files into matching folders based on a code or prefix in the filename. You see the full plan and confirm before anything moves. When a file would overwrite another, you choose to overwrite, keep both with a date suffix, or cancel.

Improved

  • The clipboard popup opens instantly. Your history now loads in the background instead of holding the window back.
  • Image previews in the clipboard popup load as they scroll into view, so large histories stay smooth.

Fixed

  • Typing in the clipboard popup search no longer leaks characters into the app behind it. While the popup is open your keystrokes go to the search box, the same way the Windows clipboard viewer works.

July 15th, 2026

New

Improved

Fixed

New

  • The Starred section in the Clipboard Manager is now called Saved, with a new bookmark icon. Everything you starred before is already there.
  • Pro users can create folders inside the Saved section to organise their clips. Click Add Folder in the sidebar, then drag items in or right-click and choose Move to Folder. Folder names are encrypted at rest just like your clipboard content.
  • Copying or pasting an item from the Clipboard Manager now moves it to the top of your history, so it is the first thing you see next time you open the quick paste popup.
  • Full keyboard control in the Clipboard Manager. Arrow keys move between items, Enter or Ctrl+C copies the selected one, and Delete removes it. Ctrl+click builds a multi-selection for bulk actions and Ctrl+A selects everything in view.

Improved

  • Every section in the clipboard timeline can now be collapsed, including Saved, Pinned and each folder. Headers animate open and closed and your layout is remembered between sessions.
  • The preview pane stays open on the right of the Clipboard Manager and can be resized at any time. Image previews grow to fill the pane as you widen it.
  • Right-click any clipboard item to copy it straight back to your clipboard. Every copy action now shows a small confirmation toast.

Fixed

  • Fixed an issue where PCs that updated from an older Trigr version could keep launching the old app at startup, showing an update prompt on every boot. Keyfire now repairs the startup entry automatically. If you still see "Trigr" listed in Windows Installed apps, it is safe to uninstall it, Keyfire is unaffected.

July 13th, 2026

Fixed

Fixed

  • The What's New button and the feedback form now load correctly again. They had stopped working after our feedback platform moved to a new address.

July 13th, 2026

New

Improved

Fixed

New

  • Macro steps for system actions: Minimise All, Restore All, Lock Computer, Sleep, Log Off, Shut Down and Control Panel. Sleep, Log Off and Shut Down ask for confirmation before they run.
  • Change Volume macro step. Set an exact level, nudge it up or down, or mute, with the native Windows volume display showing the change.
  • Window control macro steps. Minimise, maximise or resize a specific window, with an optional new position when resizing.
  • Play Audio File and Play Video File macro steps, with a monitor picker for where the player opens.
  • Mouse Scroll step, plus expanded Click Mouse options including separate press and release actions.

Improved

  • The macro step menu is reorganised into categories so steps are easier to find.
  • Macros that open an app, folder or media file now wait for the window to be placed before the next step runs, so follow-up steps no longer fire too early.
  • Text expansion editor: drag the divider to resize the editing pane. The formula popup can now be dragged anywhere and remembers where you left it.

Fixed

  • Keyfire now recreates its Start Menu shortcut on startup if it went missing after an update.
  • Copying or moving a trigger to another profile now brings its double-press and hold actions along too.
