A big Thanks! and a few bugs observed (Win11) #264

Hi, I have been using this tool on linux for a while and now on windows. I previously used another tool that relied on the grid mode based approach which I found difficult to make practical use of. The 2-stage hint mode, the history mode, scrolling, and the drag mode have been absolute life savers. I just wonder why these haven't been around since the beginning of computers (I assume these didn't exist previously to the same level).

A big Thanks to @rvaiya and contributors for developing such a productivity enhancing tool in the open-source spirit!

I thought I might as well also list some bugs faced on windows 11, just in case it maybe useful for the development of this tool: 1) The hints don't appear in the "task view" (but still works, if position approximated with mental calculation). 2) The hints don't appear in the "start menu" (but still works). 3) Unable to use 2-stage hint mode. Shift + 'x' in normal mode goes into hint mode, not 2-state hint mode. 4) Unable to edit config. Right clicking on tray icon and selecting "edit config" does nothing. 5) Pressing 'c' in normal mode sends Ctrl+C key combination (while using a terminal this kills running process). It also exits all modes. This does not happen when using 'Esc' to exit all modes. 6) If task bar is in auto-hide mode, starting warpd causes it to stay stuck in hidden mode (unless all windows minimized). Noticed same behavior with another tool that creates a screen overlay.
