Sep 1, 2025September 2025: Delivered cross-platform usability improvement in Chatterino2 by refining hotkey behavior for split focusing. Specifically, disabled default split focus hotkeys on macOS to avoid conflicts with native Option + Arrow navigation and enabled them on non-macOS platforms. The change reduces user confusion and accidental navigation overrides for macOS users while preserving expected hotkey behavior elsewhere. It was implemented with a targeted fix and minimal risk.
