WinInspector 2.2 Released: Global Hotkey, Color Picker, and Inspection History

I’m happy to announce the release of WinInspector 2.2, with new features focused on usability improvements.

What’s New in 2.2

⏸️ Global Hotkey Freeze (Ctrl+F12)

You can now freeze the inspection at any moment by pressing Ctrl+F12 - even when WinInspector doesn’t have focus. This makes it much easier to capture information about windows that change state when you try to interact with them.

Alternative hotkeys (Alt+F12, Pause) are automatically used if Ctrl+F12 is already taken by another application.

🎨 Real-Time Color Picker

A new color picker shows the pixel color under your cursor in real-time:

• HEX format (#RRGGBB)
• RGB values (R, G, B)
• Visual color preview in the toolbar

Perfect for designers and developers who need to quickly identify colors in any application.

📜 Inspection History

The new History tab tracks the last 50 inspected windows with:

• Timestamp
• Window class and title
• Process name and PID
• Handle, position, and size
• Pixel color at cursor position

You can review your inspection session and never lose track of windows you’ve analyzed.

📋 Copy to Clipboard

New toolbar buttons let you copy information with one click:

• Copy Window Info
• Copy DLL Lists
• Clear History
