Release notes
- Version 13.1
- Implemented local Hotkeys for Windows. So if HotKey.Register is passed Local = 1, we run a different code path to monitor keyboard instead of registering global hotkey.
- Version 12.1
- Added parameter as optional parameter for HotKey.SetScript function to overwrite default parameter.
- Version 11.5
- Changed implementation for HotKey functions for local hotkeys on macOS. Now hotkey set with HotKey.SetLocal to 1 will now process only within FileMaker and no longer block shortcuts in other applications.
- Version 10.4
- Rewrote Hotkey functions for Windows to use official API. May prevent from duplicate registration and a hotkey processed in FileMaker is no longer passed to other apps.
- Version 10.3
- Added HotKey.UnregisterAll function.
- Changed HotKey.Unregister function to take list of reference numbers.
- Version 10.2
- Added HotKey.SetPermanent and HotKey.GetPermanent functions.
- Added HotKey.SetScriptWorkspaceOnly and HotKey.GetScriptWorkspaceOnly functions.
- Version 7.1
- Added HotKey.GetKeyUp and HotKey.SetKeyUp.
