Microsoft has released PowerToys v0.98.0, a meaningful update to the popular Windows productivity toolkit. The new batch includes a rebuilt Keyboard Manager, a new Command Palette Dock, and a significantly improved CursorWrap experience for people working with multiple monitors.
What is the new Keyboard Manager bringing to the table? First and foremost, the refreshed Keyboard Manager has been completely rebuilt using WinUI 3. Instead of juggling between two separate windows as before, users can now work in a single, unified interface, where both key remaps and shortcut remaps can be managed together. Recommended Videos While individual toggle switches let users quickly enable/disable specific remappings without deleting them, a new hotkey also lets users switch Keyboard Manager on or off, on the go. Apart from the new Keyboard Manager, the Command Palette sits persistently on any edge of the screen — top, bottom, left, or right — providing instant access to pinned commands, apps, and extensions, without needing to invoke the entire palette. Users can simply right-click to rearrange or remove items. How does the improved CursorWrap help multi-monitor users? The existing wrapping engine has been rewritten to handle complicated monitor arrangements more reliably. Users can now limit wrapping so that it only activates while holding Ctrl or Shift. They can also disable it entirely when working on one screen. Along with all the other additions, Always On Top also gains a quality-of-life improvement, letting users pin windows directly from the title bar’s right-click menu, rather than relying entirely on keyboard shortcuts. Together, these PowerToys additions give Windows users meaningful control over how they navigate their desktop. Whether remapping keys for accessibility, keeping critical tools one click away, or managing cursor behavior across a multi-screen workspace, the new batch continues Microsoft’s push to make its operating system more adaptable to how people actually work.
