v1.1.0

[1.1.0] - 2025-12-10

Added

• Shift+Delete Support: Use Shift + Delete to permanently delete files from your computer (with confirmation).
• Copy Time: Added Ctrl+I shortcut to copy the current playback time to the system clipboard.
• Safety Improvements: Added warning sounds to critical confirmation dialogs (Delete, Clear Library, etc.).

Changed

• Dialog Behavior: Confirmation dialogs now default to "Yes" for faster workflow (standard Windows behavior).
• Shortcuts List: Updated the help dialog with missing shortcuts (Paste, Properties, etc.) and clearer descriptions.
• Time Announcements: Time is now announced in natural language (e.g., "5 minutes remaining") instead of raw numbers.

Fixed

• Fixed an issue where tracks might be announced twice or not at all depending on window focus.
• Background File Announcement: Filenames are now announced when changing tracks even if the player is minimized (respects verbosity settings).
• Improved stability of global media keys (Play/Pause/Next) to prevent crashes.

Removed

• Removed the behavior where holding Shift bypassed delete confirmations (replaced with standard Shift+Delete).
