What's New in v1.0.4

Improved Keyboard Input Reliability

  • Replaced the legacy SendKeys API with InputSimulator using the modern Win32 SendInput API
  • Text is now sent as a single batch instead of character-by-character, eliminating dropped characters
  • Note: Windows 11 Notepad may still have issues due to a known Microsoft bug with its autocorrect/spellcheck
    feature - disable those settings in Notepad or use a different text editor

New Suffix Options

  • The "CR" checkbox has been replaced with a "Suffix" dropdown
  • Available options: (none), [Enter], [Tab], Comma, Colon, Semicolon, Period
  • Suffix is appended after the NDEF content is typed

Self-Typing Prevention

  • The app now detects when its own window is focused
  • Keyboard typing is automatically skipped to prevent accidentally typing into the NFC Actions window

UI Improvements

  • Version number now displayed in the window title bar
  • Version number shown in system tray icon tooltip on hover
