SimpleKeyClicker v2.2.0 — Game-Reliable Input, Reliability Rewrite & New Features

SimpleKeyClicker v2.2.0 — Reliability, Game-Reliable Input & New Features

A big reliability + feature update. Existing config files still load.

🎮 Game-reliable input

• All mouse/keyboard actions — including moveto(x,y) and drag(...) — now go through PyDirectInput (SendInput/scancodes) so they register inside games. PyAutoGUI is used only for free-text typing and screen reads.

🐛 Major fixes

• Thread-safety overhaul — global hotkeys are marshalled to the UI thread and run data is snapshotted before execution, eliminating the intermittent "main thread is not in main loop" crashes.
• Fixed double-start race, + combos misfiring on literal text (a+b, 1+1), and Safe Mode false-positives on drag/waitcolor.
• Capture no longer freezes the UI; high-precision timer is released cleanly on exit.

⚡ Performance

• The action loop no longer floods the UI event queue at high click rates (single ~8 Hz UI poller); fast macros now show live feedback.

✨ New features

• Pause / Resume (Ctrl+F4) — resume from the same step
• Per-row enable/disable — mute a step without deleting it
• ifcolor / ifnotcolor conditionals and repeat(N) … endrepeat loops (nestable)
• Humanize movement — curved, eased, jittered mouse paths
• 7 accent themes, always-on-top pin, inline validation, non-blocking toasts
• Live stats — loops, actions, elapsed, CPS, ETA + progress bar
• Session auto-restore + settings persistence (%APPDATA%/SimpleKeyClicker)

Hotkeys

Ctrl+F2 Start • Ctrl+F4 Pause/Resume • Ctrl+F3 Stop • Esc Emergency Stop (all customizable)

Note: SimpleKeyClicker.exe is self-signed (publisher CN=SimpleKeyClicker, O=Timo Inglin, timestamped). Windows SmartScreen may still warn on first run — choose More info → Run anyway. Build from source if you prefer.

SimpleKeyClicker v2.1.0 — Custom Keybinds, Key Combos & More

What's New in v2.1.0

⚙ Custom Keybinds

Reassign Start, Stop, and Emergency Stop hotkeys to any key combination you like. Open ⚙ Settings from the header bar, click ⏺ Record, and press your preferred combo. Keybinds are saved and loaded with your configuration files.

⌨ Keyboard Combos

Execute key combinations like ctrl+c, alt+f4, or shift+a — modifiers are held automatically and released in the correct order.

🖱 Drag Action

New drag(x1,y1,x2,y2) command: clicks at point A, drags to point B, and releases. Hold Time controls the drag speed.

🎲 Random Delay

Enter a range like 0.3-0.8 in the Delay field for a random pause between actions — great for making automation less robotic.

🎨 Redesigned Help Page

Gone is the monospace text wall. The help dialog now features styled section cards, live hotkey badges, and a timing reference — all matching the app's dark glassmorphism theme.

🛠 Quality-of-Life Improvements

• START / STOP buttons disable appropriately while running or stopped
• Unsaved changes warning prompts before quitting if you haven't saved
• App icon now appears on all dialog windows (Help, Settings, Error, Success, Capture)
• Legacy config support — older configs using sleep instead of delay now load correctly
• Removed dead EMERGENCY_STOP_KEY constant (hotkeys are fully configurable now)

---

Requirements (if running from source)

• Python 3.8+
• pip install -r requirements.txt

🚀 Release v2.0.1: Ultra-Fast & Precision Update

💎 High-Speed Performance
This update transforms SimpleKeyClicker into a high-performance automation engine, removing legacy lags and enabling true high-speed operation.

⚡ What's New
High-Resolution Timing: Enabled 1ms Windows system timer resolution. Previously, delays smaller than 15.6ms were ignored by Windows; now, a 0.001s delay is truly respected.
Zero-Lag Mouse Actions: Removed the hardcoded 50ms pause in
click(x,y)
and the 300ms glide time for moveto. Actions are now instantaneous.
Turbo Typing: Reduced the default typing interval to 0.0s for lightning-fast text entry.
Engine Optimization: The UI now intelligently skips redundant updates during high-speed runs, saving CPU cycles and preventing the "stutter" effect.
Reliability Boost: Disabled the FAILSAFE triggers that could cause the app to crash during rapid mouse movements.
🔧 Improvements
Updated internal pyautogui and pydirectinput configurations for maximum throughput.
Streamlined the action loop to prioritize execution over UI rendering for delays under 50ms.
