 Double-click the tray icon to open Settings, the bold default menu item.
+Settings and the snippet editor run on demand in **KSwitcher.Config.exe**, beside the main executable.
+Repeated launches activate the existing configurator; closing its last window exits that process.
+Saving applies changes immediately through the resident KSwitcher process. The configurator does not
+load clipboard history, dictionaries or global input hooks. Clipboard history and the log viewer remain
+in the resident app. Screen capture and all screenshot editors run on demand in
+**KSwitcher.Screenshot.exe**. The capture hotkey starts it; subsequent captures reuse the same
+process. Closing the last editor (or cancelling the only selection) exits that process. It does not
+load resident settings, dictionaries, clipboard history or keyboard hooks. Editor windows have
+stable numbered titles within that process. Keep all three executables together when copying or
+updating the application. Close screenshot editors before installing an update.
+If settings change in the tray while the configurator is open, a conflicting Save is rejected; reopen
+the configurator to load the latest settings.
+Updates from v0.3.x–v0.4.1 first install the compatible **v0.4.2 bridge** through
+Update in the tray menu. Select Update again to install the full current release;
+manual extraction is not required. Future full releases use stable `release-vX.Y.Z`
+tags, which the bridge and newer clients recognize. Older clients ignore those tags
+and continue to find the bridge instead of skipping it. Versions v0.2.3 and earlier
+still require the previously documented initial configurator migration.
+
+Modern ZIPs contain `release-files.json` (schema, version, file paths, sizes and SHA-256
+hashes). The updater validates that every packaged file is declared, all hashes match,
+and paths stay within the installation directory. `data/` is protected; existing
+dictionaries are preserved. Adding a new program file no longer needs a new updater.

 ### Change a shortcut

 Choose another shortcut or exit KSwitcher to restore the original action. Windows protects
 Ctrl+Alt+Delete and Win+L; these cannot be assigned.

+Keyboard and mouse input forwarded by Microsoft Mouse Without Borders follows the same input
+path as a local keyboard/mouse, including shortcuts, recent-word conversion and snippets.
+KSwitcher marks its own generated input so copy/paste, selection, modifier releases and shell-mask
+keys cannot trigger recursive commands or overwrite the recorded typing run. Other injected input
+is accepted, including key-up events and VK-only keyboard events. Unicode packets do not provide
+physical key positions and therefore reset recent-word tracking; selection conversion still works.
+
+### Screen capture and annotations
+
+Press **Win+Shift+S**, choose **Capture screen region…** in the tray menu, or run
+`KSwitcher.exe --capture`. Drag a rectangle on the dimmed, frozen desktop; the selected area stays
+at normal brightness. Escape cancels. Selection and annotation frames are buffered to avoid flicker.
+The selected area is copied immediately and Windows shows a notification with a thumbnail.
+Click the notification to open the editor, including after the screenshot process has exited.
+If notifications are disabled or cannot be sent, the already-copied screenshot opens in the editor.
+Originals in the local notification cache are DPAPI-encrypted. Thumbnail PNGs live in a separate
+per-user cache under ProgramData, readable only by that user and SYSTEM, so the Windows notification
+broker can load them even when the profile directory is inaccessible to it.
+Notifications expire after 24 hours. Cache cleanup runs on capture/open; each cache is bounded to
+40 files and 256 MiB. Expired or evicted notifications cannot reopen their screenshot.
+In the editor, **Ctrl+C** or **Enter** copies the current result without closing the window.
+To annotate: **N** places sequential numbered red markers with a click, and **A** draws
+red arrows by dragging from the tail to the tip. Click an existing marker or arrow to select it;
+drag its body to move it. Drag the square handle on a number's right edge to change its diameter
+(the text scales with it), or either endpoint handle of an arrow to change its length and direction.
+Select an arrow and drag the extra handle beside its midpoint perpendicular to the line to change
+its thickness from 1 to 30 pixels. The arrowhead scales with the line. Minus/plus keys also work.
+Alternatively, scroll the mouse wheel over an arrow to change its thickness, or over a number to
+change its diameter. Wheel up increases the size; wheel down decreases it. These edits support Undo
+and update linked arrows. **Ctrl+D** clones the selected object with a small offset. A cloned number
+gets the smallest available positive number, just like a newly placed number: gaps left by deletion
+are filled first, without renumbering existing objects. A cloned arrow keeps its style but starts without endpoint links.
+The compact toolbar uses [Lucide](https://lucide.dev) icons with hover tooltips showing each action
+and its keyboard shortcut.
+Drop either arrow endpoint onto a number to link it to the circle's edge. Linked endpoints follow
+the number when it moves or changes diameter. Drag an endpoint away to unlink it; moving the whole
+arrow unlinks both ends. In Arrow mode, hold **Ctrl** while dragging to start a new arrow directly
+from a number. Deleting a number leaves its arrows in place and removes their links; Undo restores them.
+**Delete** removes the selected object. **Ctrl+Z** (Undo) reverses additions, moves, resizes and deletions
+(up to 100 actions). **Ctrl+Y** or **Ctrl+Shift+Z** (Redo) restores undone edits; a new edit clears the
+redo history. Undo and Redo buttons are disabled when unavailable. Enabled toolbar buttons use a
+hand cursor. Selection handles are visible only in the editor, never in the copied image.
+The **palette** changes the selected object's color: arrow, numbered marker, or highlight.
+It also sets the color for newly drawn objects of every type. With nothing selected, only the
+color for new objects changes. Number text switches between dark and white for readability.
+**Highlight (H)** paints a translucent freehand marker stroke. Dark text remains readable beneath
+the highlight. Drag a selected stroke
+to move it, scroll over it to change width (4–100 pixels), or use Delete / Ctrl+D / Undo / Redo.
+Hold Ctrl while drawing to paint a new stroke over an existing object. Highlights render beneath
+arrows and numbered markers. The palette's color indicator reflects the selected object, or the
+color for new objects when nothing is selected.
+The editor status bar shows contextual tool, selection, rotation and text-editing hints.
+Hover a toolbar button to see its action and shortcut; the title stays **KSwitcher — Screenshot**.
+**Text (T)** adds text directly on the image. Enter inserts a line break; Ctrl+Enter or a click
+outside commits the edit, and Escape cancels it. Double-click text or press F2 to edit it again.
+The **Aa** icon opens the standard font dialog for family, size (6–200 pt), bold and italic.
+The mouse wheel over text adjusts its font size. Text supports color, dragging, Ctrl+D,
+Delete and Undo/Redo. Arrow keys move the selected object by one source-image pixel;
+selecting an arrow caption moves only that caption. Repositioning a caption preserves its
+automatic angle; only dragging the rotation handle switches to a fixed angle.
+Text has a rotation handle above its selection. Drag to rotate; hold Shift to snap to 15-degree steps.
+Double-click an arrow, press F2, or use the label icon to add/edit its caption. Captions follow
+the arrow when moved or resized; drag the caption to adjust its offset. By default, the caption
+angle follows the line (or middle curve segment) and stays upright. Rotating its handle manually
+fixes its angle; Shift snaps to 15-degree steps. Undo restores automatic mode. The Aa icon changes
+the selected caption font, and the mouse wheel over it changes its size. Captions and rotation
+are included in clipboard export, cloning and Undo/Redo.
+**Straight line (L)** creates a line without arrowheads. **Rectangle (R)**, **Circle (O)** and
+**Ellipse (E)** create transparent shapes with colored outlines. Drag the two corner handles to
+resize; circles keep equal width and height. Move shapes by their outlines, adjust thickness with
+the mouse wheel or side handle, recolor, clone with Ctrl+D, and undo/redo as with other objects.
+Hold Ctrl to start drawing over an existing object. Line style applies to outlines; Ends is disabled
+for shapes.
+**Freehand line (F)** draws an opaque curve by following the mouse. The curve is one object:
+move it, change its color or thickness, clone it, or drag its endpoints. Hold Ctrl to start a new
+stroke over an existing object. The **Line style** selector supports Solid, Dotted, Dashed and
+Dash-dot; **Ends** supports an arrow at the end, start, both ends, or no arrows. These settings
+apply to selected straight/freehand lines and set defaults for subsequent lines. Both are disabled
+for numbered markers and highlights unless a line drawing tool is active. Undo/Redo includes style changes.
+The window close button asks for confirmation before discarding an uncopied screenshot.
+**Escape** cancels region selection or inline text edits; it does not close the editor. Copy keeps the editor open and publishes the image
+at its original pixel size, ready to paste. The preview fits the window without changing export size.
+The shortcut is configurable in Settings under **Screen capture**.
+Each capture opens an independent editor available through Alt+Tab; use the shortcut again to take another screenshot while
+keeping earlier editors and their annotations open.
+Captures use ordinary clipboard history settings and limits. Protected video and secure desktops cannot be captured.
+
+### Updates
+
+Select **Update** in the tray menu to check the stable Releases of
+[this repository](https://gitea.hrynco.com/hrynco/hrynco-kswitcher/releases).
+A startup check also reports an available version, but never installs it automatically.
+Confirm the offered version to download and install it. The updater uses the existing
+`KSwitcher-win-x64.zip` and `SHA256SUMS.txt` assets, checks the checksum, package contents, x64
+executable identity and version, then closes and restarts KSwitcher. Downloads and staging happen
+before the application exits. If replacement or startup fails, it restores the previous files;
+if recovery itself fails, it reports the retained backup directory.
+
+Saved settings and clipboard history in `data/` or the local-app-data fallback are preserved.
+Existing dictionary files are preserved too; missing dictionary files are installed. Save settings
+edits before updating. The installation directory must be writable at KSwitcher's current privilege
+level. A blocked network request, incomplete release or checksum mismatch leaves the running version
+intact and is reported when Update is selected. Startup network failures remain non-interactive.
+The helper uses Windows' built-in Windows PowerShell 5.1; no additional runtime is installed.
+
+Settings and the other utility windows use the destination monitor's DPI for their initial frame,
+controls and fonts. Settings has a fixed form size, without manual resizing or maximization; other
+utility windows remain resizable. Windows stay within a remaining monitor's work area after display
+changes and provide scrollbars when their content does not fit. Tab navigation scrolls the focused
+field into view; Shift+wheel scrolls horizontally.

 # Latest Windows release

-Download **KSwitcher-win-x64.zip**, extract the entire archive to a writable folder,
-and launch `KSwitcher.exe`. Keep `dictionaries/` next to the executable.
-The archive contains the application, offline dictionaries, documentation and license notices.
-It does not contain personal settings or clipboard history.
+## v0.4.1 — 2026-10-28

-For upgrades, exit KSwitcher first. Back up any edited dictionaries before replacing files.
-Keep your existing `data/` directory to retain settings and clipboard history.
-`SHA256SUMS.txt` contains the checksum of the archive.
+- Fix Settings spacing around Screen capture, automatic layout correction and layout controls.
+- Verify update checksums through .NET SHA-256 without requiring the PowerShell Get-FileHash command. This fixes updates from processes launched with a conflicting PowerShell module environment.
+- Capture a rectangular screen region with Win+Shift+S (configurable), with dimmed selection and independent editor windows.
+- Annotate screenshots with numbered markers, arrows, straight/freehand lines, highlights, rectangles, circles, ellipses and inline text.
+- Edit color, line style, arrowheads, thickness, font and size. Link arrow endpoints to markers and attach captions.
+- Captions follow line angle and keep their relative offset until manually rotated. Text rotation supports Shift snapping in 15-degree steps.
+- Move objects one pixel with arrow keys; clone with Ctrl+D; undo/redo edits. Numbered markers reuse gaps.
+- Compact Lucide toolbar, contextual status bar, pencil cursor and confirmation before discarding an uncopied screenshot. Escape no longer closes the editor.
+- Preserve the separate on-demand configurator and configurable capture shortcut.

-This folder holds only the latest compiled version; older versions remain in Git history.
+Verified: 173 native checks, 379 input/rendering checks, screenshot editor UI integration checks,
+29 updater checks, including missing Get-FileHash coverage, and package validation.

-To refresh it from source:
+**Upgrade from v0.3.0 or v0.4.0:** use Update in the tray menu. Both executables are supported.
+If an older updater reports missing `Get-FileHash`, restart KSwitcher normally from Explorer
+(outside a PowerShell 7 session) or install this ZIP manually once. v0.4.1 removes that dependency.
+**Upgrade from v0.2.3 or earlier:** install manually once because those updaters reject the additional configurator EXE.
+Exit KSwitcher and extract the entire ZIP into its installation folder. Keep personal `data/` and customized dictionaries.

+Download **KSwitcher-win-x64.zip** with **SHA256SUMS.txt**. The package contains both executables,
