What's new in NVDA Modifier Lock

Version 1.2.1

New

1. Automatic updates: every time NVDA starts, the add-on checks for a new version, shows what's new and offers to install it. They can be turned off in NVDA Settings, NVDA Modifier Lock category, and checked by hand with the "Checks for updates of this add-on" command in Input gestures.

Version 1.2.0

New

1. The add-on speaks the language of NVDA: English or Italian.
2. Guide in English and Italian.
3. Package made like the official NVDA add-ons: translated name, description and changes, license.

Fixes

1. The settings page opens correctly: before, it failed and showed the controls of other categories.
2. Turning the lock on with NVDA+Control+Shift+L no longer locks the NVDA key by itself.
3. With NVDA 2025.1 and later, keys sent by other programs no longer lock or unlock the NVDA key.

Version 1.1.0

3. Beeps and messages no longer slow down the keyboard.
4. Does nothing when Windows Sticky Keys are on.
5. The lock is removed silently when switching window.
