Tom Peskett contributed to the FreeCAD/FreeCAD repository over a two-month period, focusing on desktop application development with C++ and the Qt framework. He delivered an Image IO enhancement that set the default working directory for image operations, streamlining user workflows. Tom also addressed macOS-specific UX issues by refining event handling, such as blocking application shortcuts from interfering with text input and disabling actions during native file dialogs, which improved stability and reduced user errors. Additionally, he fixed a bug in the macOS macro editor, isolating keyboard shortcut handling to LineEdit fields and enhancing reliability for macOS users.

In January 2026, delivered a focused high-value bug fix for the macOS macro editor in FreeCAD/FreeCAD, improving macro editing reliability and user experience for macOS users. The change isolates keyboard shortcut handling to LineEdit fields, preventing unintended activations in other editors (e.g., Materials editor) and reducing potential workflow disruptions.
