Added

  • New Document (ribbon or Mod-N) now asks which pane, or a new window when a three-pane workspace is open, the same picker Open already shows — instead of always opening a whole new window. An empty pane stays hidden until something's loaded into it, so previously the only visible "new doc" button was whichever pane you already had open, and clicking it added to THAT pane's stack rather than using an empty one.
  • Opening a file from Finder/Explorer/Dock now asks which window when more than one three-pane workspace window is open, instead of always routing to whichever window was last focused — so a file meant for a different, unfocused window no longer lands in the wrong one's slot picker.
  • Rebinding a shortcut on macOS now warns when it overlaps a macOS system shortcut (Quit, Hide, Log Out, the screenshot keys, Mission Control, Full Screen) — binding one used to silently do nothing when you pressed it, with no indication why. Checks the real Ctrl/Cmd keys you actually pressed, so a two-key combo like Control-Command-F is correctly told apart from a plain Cmd-F.

Fixed

  • Send to Speech silently did nothing when the speech doc was the only document open and you tried to send from it to itself — it now tells you why instead of looking like the button (or shortcut) is just broken.
  • Settings, tooltips, and hints that mention a shortcut by name now say "Cmd" instead of "Ctrl" on macOS (Find, Find & Replace, zoom, voice-control mic, expand-pane, Uncondense, the plain-paste hint, the keybindings editor's own validation message) — these used to say "Ctrl" everywhere, which was simply wrong on a Mac for anything bound to the app's cross-platform modifier key. Left untouched where "Ctrl" is genuinely, literally correct on every platform including macOS: the pinch/scroll-to-zoom gesture checks a real Ctrl keypress specifically (mirroring the browser's own pinch-to-zoom convention), not the app's Cmd-on-Mac modifier.
