Toolbox App 3.8 restores keyboard navigation and bypasses macOS false write-protection on IDE updates

Toolbox App 3.8 addresses two long-standing usability issues. Keyboard navigation in project and tool lists was broken, forcing users to rely on mouse input. The fix restores standard keyboard shortcuts, including arrow keys for list traversal and tab switching with Ctrl+1 and Ctrl+2 on Windows. This change reduces context switching for engineers who prefer keyboard-driven workflows.

On macOS, the Toolbox App previously disabled IDE updates when the system incorrectly reported the installation directory as non-writable. Version 3.8 bypasses this false positive by keeping manual updates available. If macOS still blocks the update, the app now provides instructions for resolving the issue. This change prevents unnecessary manual workarounds and reduces support overhead for teams managing macOS deployments.

The update also improves visibility during cleanup operations. When removing leftover IDE directories, the Toolbox App now shows progress for each tool and the full cleanup. Delete controls remain disabled until the process completes, preventing duplicate cleanup attempts. This change helps engineers manage disk space more predictably, especially in environments with frequent IDE installations or updates.

The changes in Toolbox App 3.8 are incremental but targeted. Keyboard navigation and macOS update handling were specific pain points, and the fixes address them without introducing new dependencies or configuration steps. The improvements are most relevant for engineers who manage multiple JetBrains IDEs or work in mixed-platform environments where macOS permission quirks can disrupt workflows.
