The shell watches every file under ~/.config/omarchy/plugins/ with
inotify (no extension filter) and reloads all plugin code on any change,
so config.json there made every edit tear down and rebuild the panel and
bar widget. Config now lives at ~/.config/omarchy/key-visualizer.json, which
is not watched: edits update the display live. The panel migrates the
old plugin-dir config (values carried over, file removed) on first load
after the update.
Clicking the keyboard glyph now opens a KeyboardPanel popup (the native
bar pattern, e.g. omarchy.audio) instead of toggling pause directly:
Show keys toggle, Mode (all | bindings), and Position (bottom/top/
center). The toggle writes the pause flag and the options write
config.json, both watched by the display panel, so menu and overlay
stay in sync across monitors. Replaces BarWidget.qml with a Panel-based
widget (Panel + BarIconButton + KeyboardPanel).
A keyboard glyph in the bar (WidgetButton, right section by default)
toggles a pause flag at $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/omarchy-key-visualizer.paused that
the panel and every bar widget instance watch, so a click on any monitor
updates all of them. While paused the panel ignores key state and hides;
the button dims. Also exposes pause/resume/toggle over the key-visualizer IPC
target.
Previously the chips cleared the instant the keys were released, so the
120ms hide delay was invisible. Keep the last combo rendered for the
whole linger window and only clear it when the timer fires, so a quick
tap stays readable (keyviz keeps keys for lingerDurationMs, 5s by
default). Default 1000ms, tunable via lingerMs.
