This version marks the
release of a new license. Keybreeze is now free for
personal and non-commercial use. There is no longer a
Basic and Pro version.
New Features
- New skins were
added.
You can view the screenshots
here,
and you can select the new skins by choosing any of the
Modern or Vessel skins in the Options window
(type
options as a keyword).
- - remove
formatting
preset keyword
This will remove all formatting of text that is copied
to the clipboard. For example, if you copy text
from a web page into Microsoft Word, you will notice
that Microsoft Word retains the formatting of the text.
This can be very annoying if you do not want to keep the
formatting. Type this keyword into Keybreeze
before you paste the text, and the formatting will be
removed.
- The tips window now
shows recently added keywords.
- You can add
parameters to the target of a keyword from the textbox.
Press the hotkey and type the keyword as you normally
would. When the keyword you want is selected,
type a comma, and then type the parameters that you
want. The parameters will be temporarily placed
after file.
- You can now press
the TAB key at any time to search your computer for
files and folders matching your entry.
Example: press the hotkey, type a few letters of a
document you want to find, and press TAB.
- You can now make a
QuickTab combination to insert a semicolon.
For example, (Hotkey + Space bar) could be programmed to
insert a semicolon. You can change QuickTab
settings by typing options as a keyword.
- The file search
utility was improved for easier accessibility.
- The tutorial was
revised.

contains a few extra prompts that pop up while you are using
the program so you can learn about all of the features.

runs smoother and has several bug fixes. You can see a list
of changes below.

two things:
it will search the entire Command List for any instance of your entry.
it will pop up a feature summary window (basically everything you can
