This release is all about quality-of-life improvements \u2014 making it easier to find the setting you\u2019re looking for, spot shortcut conflicts, and even adding a new way to move your mouse cursor. Get the update by checking for updates in PowerToys or heading to the release page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Search in Settings<\/h3>\n

\"Animated<\/a><\/p>\n

PowerToys has grown a lot over the years, and with so many settings it can sometimes be hard to find exactly what you need. That\u2019s why we\u2019ve added a search box in Settings. Search supports fuzzy matching, so you don\u2019t need to type the exact name. Just press Ctrl+F (or click the search box) and start typing. Suggestions show up right in the flyout, and selecting one takes you straight to the right settings page. Got more than five results? Hit the Show all results button to view everything in the full search page.<\/p>\n

Shortcut conflicts<\/h3>\n

Ever used a hotkey and had two things happen at once? With so many shortcuts in PowerToys, it\u2019s easy to run into conflicts. Now, shortcuts that are already in use (either by another module or by Windows itself) will be marked in red. On the new shortcut conflicts tile on the home dashboard, you\u2019ll also see how many conflicts you currently have. Clicking the tile gives you a full overview and lets you quickly reassign shortcuts so everything works the way you want.<\/p>\n

Mouse Pointer Crosshairs now includes a new gliding cursor mode<\/h3>\n

With this feature, you can control the mouse cursor using just a single shortcut. Instead of needing to quickly stop the cursor right on target, the gliding cursor lets you move step by step with more control. This is especially helpful as an accessibility feature for people who find fast or precise mouse movements challenging. It\u2019s similar to switch access features found on other platforms, and makes it possible to use Windows with just a single button. Once you trigger the shortcut, the crosshairs begin to glide. Pressing the shortcut again locks the horizontal position, then the vertical, and finally performs the click.<\/p>\n
