Highlights

Highlights

• Reworked the Windows edition around native Windows behavior instead of Mac-style menu-bar assumptions.
• Changed the Windows default global shortcut to Ctrl+Shift+Space; existing Windows installs that still have Alt+Space saved are migrated automatically.
• Kept the Windows window visible in the taskbar and stopped auto-hiding it on blur, so Settings and the assistant no longer feel like they disappear.
• Improved the Windows installer by stopping old running copies, creating Start menu and desktop shortcuts, launching the installed app, and printing the active shortcut.
• Fixed Windows MCP startup for npm/npx based servers and replaced fragile findstr text search with a built-in Node search path.
