Release notes

A record of public Spex releases and the update currently being prepared.

v0.2.0

Preparing

Expanded Excel-compatible Alt shortcuts for frequent spreadsheet work, including sizing and AutoFit, Paste Special variants, formatting, freeze, data tools, grouping, and chart-related commands.
Unified Excel-compatible and Google Sheets-native KeyTips into one navigation flow, removing the old profile switch while keeping established Excel Home sequences canonical.
Improved adaptation to current Google Sheets menus and controls, including safer native command execution and restored chart insertion.
Hardened English/Japanese localization so English sessions stay fully English, with stronger real-Sheets release checks for both locales.

v0.1.5 · 2026-09-16

Published

Fixed an issue where Quick Access fixed Fill, Text, or Border colors could fail after some Google Sheets state transitions because the page-owned value control could not be resolved reliably.
Strengthened real Google Sheets regression coverage for fixed colors, including applying red Fill from a freshly cleared formatting state.

v0.1.4 · 2026-09-12

Released

Expanded Quick Access with fixed Fill, Text, and Border colors, border type/style actions, and Excel-style Alt+1–9 direct access.
Made registration faster with search-first filtering, a collapsible registered list, drag-and-drop ordering, and persisted Alt-number order.
Reused Google Sheets native color and border visuals in Quick Access while keeping command identity and execution independent from host icon DOM.
Hardened parameterized Quick Access actions through the page-owned Google Sheets action pipeline with fail-closed verification.

v0.1.3 · 2026-09-10

Released

Added a Quick Access Toolbar beside the Spex launcher so frequently used Google Sheets commands can be pinned and run directly, including fixed text and fill colors.
Improved Quick Access integration with native Google Sheets command icons and safer color execution.
Fixed KeyTips not appearing on macOS when Japanese IME reports the physical Option key as Process/Dead or briefly leaves a stale composing state.
Expanded live Google Sheets command-surface coverage while preserving fail-closed behavior when a host action cannot be verified safely.

v0.1.2 · 2026-09-08

Released

Added a Help & support flow with optional privacy-minimized diagnostic attachment, plus a post-uninstall feedback page.
Simplified command feedback: successful actions use a clear check mark, failures use an X, and internal verification details no longer appear in normal messages.
Improved resilience to Google Sheets UI changes and kept ambiguous or unverifiable actions fail-closed without misleading success feedback.
Simplified Settings by using automatic execution strategy selection and added versioned settings migration so existing preferences carry forward safely.

v0.1.1 · 2026-08-20

Released

Improved keyboard continuity when Spex hands control to nested Google Sheets menus, Fill Color, Borders, Export, and Wrap Text.
Refined onboarding around a concrete checkbox action and made the full Alt-key action reference easier to reach.
Unsupported commands now fail closed instead of appearing to succeed or exposing an action that Google Sheets cannot perform reliably.
Paste now reports the browser security limitation accurately instead of showing false success when Chrome blocks clipboard access.

v0.1.0

Released

Excel-compatible sequential shortcuts and a Sheets-aligned keymap with on-screen KeyTips.
Keyboard access to common Google Sheets menus, formatting, row, column, and sheet operations.
Dark mode for Google Sheets, including the cell grid, plus localized English and Japanese Spex UI.
First-run guidance, searchable shortcut reference, settings, and local-only diagnostics without Spex telemetry or a backend server.
