      The design of the new Icons (dual color) is great!
      This makes it actually look modern and not just thin and hard to differentiate.
      Also the settings UI cleanup is a great thing. Hopefully you will find more ways to improve here :-)

        @donho ,

        FYI: there was a bug/regression in the Shortcut Mapper that started in v8.7.6 (with my updates to that feature), as reported by @mkupper here and in issue #16491 .

        It’s not specific to v8.8, but I mention it here because, so far, v8.7.5 has remained the last version triggered for auto-update, and the bug thus hasn’t spread widely; but if you trigger auto-update on v8.8, then it will likely be quickly noticed and complained about.

        I have submitted PR #16492 to fix this bug.

        It’s up to you whether or not to trigger auto-update on v8.8 – but if it were my decision, I would wait for v8.8.1.
