Windows 32-bit (Windows 7 SP1 and later. Only use this one if really needed. May falsely detect as a virus!) macOS - Intel and Apple silicon (universal) (OS X 10.11 and later - read Mac notices below!) Linux packages for amd64/x86_64 (not supported by me, I'm also not sure which file you need) Source code and more info can be found over at GitHub. Please read "HOW-TO-COMPILE.txt". If ALT+F4/ALT+F5 (copy/paste block) doesn't work and you have an NVIDIA GPU, you need to make sure those keybindings are disabled in 'GeForce Experience' (if it's installed).

To be able to actually run the program, you need to right click the .app/program and click "Open". This is needed just once. If using a modern version of macOS, you need to allow the program to run in System Settings -> Privacy & Security after having attempted to run it. A lot of important keybindings in FT2 are occupied and has to be rerouted or removed in the OS To toggle fullscreen mode, press ALT+Enter or Ctrl+Cmd+F
