New Quill 0.6.0
New Quill 0.6 makes the writing experience calmer and more focused.
- The Writing Desk now browses nested folders. Clicking a Markdown file switches the active document in the same window, with macOS save, discard, and cancel choices when needed.
- Automatic writing tabs are disabled. Control-click a file to open it beside your draft instead. The parallel pane begins in a clean formatted view and can be edited and saved in place.
- New writers begin with a blank document and choose a writing folder, with an optional editable Markdown guide and cloud-folder recommendations.
- Five themes, fiction-oriented font presets, custom fonts, zoom, optional pinch-to-zoom, paragraph focus, and a top-edge toolbar make the page easier to shape around your work.
- The writing desk can be shown with a two-finger horizontal trackpad gesture. The sentence-structure color picker no longer changes or crashes the Markdown editor.
This remains a Mac prototype. iCloud conflict behavior, large-manuscript performance, Fiction Projects, PDF export, and ebook export are still ahead.
