A focused update packed with usability improvements - faster navigation, full keyboard control, flexible answer styles, and long-requested fixes for macOS and Linux users.
Answer display modes
Choose how answer choices are presented during a test. Two modes are now available:
Modern mode
Answers are labeled with symbols (A, B, C…). Press the corresponding key to select an answer instantly - no mouse required. Ideal for speed-focused exam practice.
Classic mode
The traditional layout with radio buttons for single-choice questions and checkboxes for multiple-choice. Familiar and straightforward.
Keyboard shortcuts
ProfExam Simulator now supports a full set of keyboard shortcuts. Navigation shortcuts work both during a test and when reviewing results.
| Action | Windows, Linux | macOS |
|---|---|---|
| Next question | Ctrl + ← | ⌘ + ← |
| Previous question | Ctrl + → | ⌘ + → |
| Show correct answer (study mode) | Ctrl + Enter | ⌘ + Return |
| Reset answer | Ctrl + Backspace | ⌘ + Backspace |
| Show Case Study materials | Ctrl + T | ⌘ + T |
| Show images attached to question | Ctrl + E | ⌘ + E |
| Toggle question list panel | Ctrl + \ | ⌘ + \ |
| Pause / resume (timer active) | Ctrl + P | ⌘ + P |
| Select answer A, B, C... (Modern mode only) | A, B, C... | |
Fixes & improvements
- macOS - copy/paste for activation key: fixed a bug that prevented pasting the license key on macOS. You can now paste it normally instead of typing it character by character.
- Background mode stability: improved reliability when the app runs minimized or in the background, reducing interruptions during long study sessions.
- Fill in the blank - auto-focus: the text field now receives focus automatically when navigating to a fill-in-the-blank question, so you can start typing right away.
- Linux - AppImage build restored: the .AppImage package is available again alongside the existing .deb build. Choose whichever format fits your Linux distribution best.
