Known issues Physical keyboard dead keys don't work - #469

What's next? The repository on which I'm working on for the remote monitoring feature has gone public, even if it's still quite empty. An issue has been pinned here to track progress on this: #488

When remote monitoring will be out, the next step is external modules, aka an addon system. See #334.

Work has begun on the long-awaited blog post/tech write-up on eDEX (#272).
