Installation Troubleshooting

Common issues and pro tips for Windows users.

★ Pro Tip: How to create a Portable Version?

Since the developer stopped providing official `.zip` files, you can create your own portable version easily using 7-Zip.

Step-by-Step DIY Guide:
  1. Download the standard Installer (.exe) from the link above.
  2. Do not double-click it. Instead, Right-click the file.
  3. Choose 7-Zip > Extract to “klavaro-win/…”.
  4. Open the extracted folder. You can now run `klavaro.exe` directly from your USB drive without installing anything!

! Windows says “Protected your PC” (SmartScreen)

Since Klavaro is free open-source software, the developer does not buy expensive digital certificates from Microsoft. This triggers a false warning.

  1. Click the small “More info” link text.
  2. Click the “Run anyway” button that appears at the bottom.

i The interface text looks too small

Klavaro uses GTK+ which sometimes doesn’t scale well on 4K monitors.
Fix: Right-click the Klavaro shortcut > Properties > Compatibility > Change high DPI settings > Override high DPI scaling behavior (System Enhanced).

Release Notes: Version 3.13

Windows Stable

This build focuses on expanding layout support and fixing interface interactions for Windows users.

  • • New Layout Support: Added the French AZERTY (AFNOR) standard layout.
  • • Interface Fixes: Resolved an issue where the “Close” button on the About dialog was unresponsive.
  • • Language Updates: Improved translations for Portuguese (Portugal), Croatian, and Greek users.

Note: While Linux versions may show higher version numbers (e.g., 3.14) due to package updates, 3.13 remains the latest stable compiled binary for Windows.

Don’t just install the software. Build the perfect environment for touch typing mastery.

Step 1: The Gear

Check Your Keyboard

Learning to touch type on a flat laptop keyboard is difficult. For muscle memory, tactile feedback is key.

Recommendation: Use a Mechanical Keyboard with Brown (Tactile) or Blue (Clicky) switches.
