ddate inside toggleable groups with word-boundary and smart-case matching.

#{env:USER}, nested #{combo:...}, and #{cursor} placement in real time.
- Active X11 Keymap Poller: Non-privileged global XQueryKeymap and XQueryPointer
monitor paired with rolling abbreviation matching, BackSpace cleanup, and XTest
text insertion.
- Beeftext JSON & CSV Portability: Import and export Beeftext-compatible JSON combo
archives (fileFormatVersion, groups, combos) as well as UTF-8 CSV tables.
