Added

  • Opening a Recent file that's moved or been deleted now offers to locate it instead of just toasting an error and forgetting it — click "Locate…" to browse for where it lives now, or remove it from Recents.
  • The reader-speed setting now links to readingsoft.com to actually measure your reading speed, if you don't already know your wpm.
  • Custom dash can now convert "--" and "---" independently, at the same time — previously an either/or choice, since converting "--" immediately couldn't tell whether a third hyphen was about to make it "---" instead. Off by default; the existing single-trigger behavior is unchanged unless you turn the second one on.
  • Right-click anywhere on the ribbon to name (or rename) the window — desktop only. A named window shows that name as its title instead of the document filename, useful for telling windows apart at a glance (e.g. "Speech Doc"). The name persists across mode-switch reloads and clears with "Clear Window Name."
  • Each pane in a multi-pane workspace now has its own cloud-sync pill, in that pane's own footer, instead of one shared pill in the window's bottom-right corner that left it ambiguous which pane's document it was reporting on. Also more compact: it shows the provider's own icon (Dropbox / OneDrive / Google Drive / iCloud) instead of a generic cloud glyph plus the word "Cloud," and drops the label entirely while just synced — only "changed on disk" and "conflicted copy" states still show a short text cue. Single-doc mode is unchanged (still the one shared pill).
  • The update chip now shows download progress — desktop only. While an update is downloading, the same status-bar pill fills in left to right and its text names the percent complete, instead of just appearing once the download finishes.

Fixed

  • Rebinding a shortcut to Option+` (backtick) on macOS captured as "Alt-Unidentified" — a dead-key artifact of Option held on that key — instead of the literal backtick. Cmd+` also added to the macOS-reserved-shortcut list (it's "Move to Next Window," a hard OS-level reservation — the keystroke never reaches any app to capture in the first place, so this is documentation, not a fix).
  • A pane's speech-doc marking (amber tint + 🎤) is no longer hidden by the focused-pane blue highlight — you can now tell a pane is the active speech doc even while you're actively working in it, not just when looking at it from another pane.
  • Send to Speech silently did nothing when the cursor wasn't somewhere sendable (an empty line, or between cards/headings) — it now says so instead of looking like the command is broken.
  • A filename containing a macOS Finder-typed "/" now displays the same way in CardMirror as it does in Finder — Finder shows "/" but actually stores the file with ":" on disk (a classic Mac OS carryover); CardMirror was showing the raw on-disk name.
