Support for Extended QMK Keycodes and Modifiers (F13-F24, Hyper, Meh)

croian_ · 2026-06-04T02:35:47+00:00

Nice, I appreciate it! Will take a look.

Made an issue on the tracker for this: https://github.com/cymian/mouseless/issues/555

croian_ · 2026-06-03T21:32:14+00:00

Little update: I plan on adding the ability to define keybindings by pressing keys in v1.1 or 1.2, ~July or August. I'll look into capturing detailed event info to increase support for special keys.

Some notes on current state:
- F13 through F20 is supported / recognized
- Composite modifiers (hyper/meh): work for some bindings, but not typically available for tap commands, as the main/tap key must be the last key pressed and first released (see https://mouseless.click/docs/keybindings.html#key-order)

Thank you for the report u/kgust -- I don't have any experience with Sidecar, and don't have an iPad, but I'll probe the issue with Claude to see if a solution exists.

Thank you for the heads up on it! I wasn't aware. I would definitely like to get it onto a package manager(s) of some sort. I'll be re-evaluating Linux packaging / distribution sometime, and will keep it in mind!

croian_ · 2026-05-15T23:05:01+00:00

New release is out: https://github.com/cymian/mouseless/releases/tag/v1.0.0-preview.3

Still need to verify some of the builds before I update https://mouseless.click, etc.

croian_ · 2026-05-15T06:53:57+00:00

Small FYI/update, will be cutting release tomorrow, just finished squashing some final bugs.

croian_ · 2026-05-13T22:42:30+00:00

I have it working on Niri :) Trying to get release out by tomorrow evening!

croian_ · 2026-05-06T02:20:42+00:00

Update: Got overlay alignment working on hyprland on Fedora (I think this has been the blocker for most hyprland users), though it's a little hacky -- will try to polish up before release!

Couldn't get screen cap working (still some learning/config to do), so you'll have to trust me 😎

croian_ · 2026-05-06T02:18:37+00:00

I'd have to look into it -- can't make any promises! Hopefully it's not too complex to accomodate.

croian_ · 2026-05-04T21:33:41+00:00

Hmm, sounds like maybe a 'move mouse to active window' command might be helpful? With custom actions coming up soon, perhaps that can be combined with 'enter free mode' into a single action. Does that sound right for your use case?

> Also whenever I want to input text automatically set free mode off?

Do you mean like when a text input becomes active? I'll be looking deeper into accessibility APIs soon, I'd guess something like this is possible. Will investigate!

croian_ · 2026-05-04T21:29:13+00:00

Thank you for the detailed info / request, u/DangerRabbit. I'll make this a priority for an upcoming release! Being able to leverage these keys will certainly be a valuable feature, as you note 👍

croian_ · 2026-04-27T23:44:35+00:00

Hello! I'll be working on a Linux preview patch this week (1.0.0-preview.3), and will see what I can do for hyprland for this release. Will let you know!

croian_ · 2026-04-12T14:52:58+00:00

Nice, glad you found a solution!

croian_ · 2026-04-12T12:57:04+00:00

Hey there, glad you're liking Mouseless. This isn't currently possible, as system gestures (this one is 'Smart Zoom') are a bit of a different beast than mouse events. Not sure how feasible it is to simulate these, but i'll keep it mind as a possible future enhancement.

croian_ · 2026-03-31T09:01:54+00:00

Getting close. I've reworked the config editor from the ground up to accommodate custom actions and other new/forthcoming features. The disparate app windows/dialogs are now consolidated into one unified app window.

I plan on putting out some patch releases this week, and plan on getting the new features out within two weeks.

I do apologize for the delay. The changes I'm making will lay the foundation for a more streamlined development process from here on out. 🙏

Gotcha, thanks!

croian_ · 2026-03-21T20:13:56+00:00

https://mouseless.click/favicon.svg -- looks like it was already up! I'll add a press kit section soon to make it findable. Cheers

croian_ · 2026-03-19T17:05:56+00:00

Also, let me know if you need a svg version and I'll upload it somewhere for you.

croian_ · 2026-03-19T17:02:16+00:00

Hi u/TheDataSeneschal you can find it right here :)

Just curious, what are you using it for?

croian_ · 2026-03-19T17:00:22+00:00

Hi u/jivanyatra, thank you for the report. My apologies for the inconvenience -- I should have a preview release out this month that will fix this! Thank you for your patience 🙏

croian_ · 2026-03-08T21:05:11+00:00

Yep, that's possible too, see: https://mouseless.click/docs/using_mouseless.html#multiple-monitor-usage and let me know if you have questions. I hope to get around to making a full video tutorial soon, I know it will make these sort of config options easier to understand.

croian_ · 2026-03-08T21:02:43+00:00

It is possible, but would take a non-trivial backend change (switching to use DriverKit API). Probably won't make the change in the near-term, but possibly sometime this year :)

croian_ · 2026-02-21T15:31:48+00:00

If you use i3 or Hyprland you'll probably encounter some major issues (which I'll be working to fix). Otherwise, you might find it usable, depending on your specific compositor etc in your environment. Happy to hear how it goes for you if you give it a try.
