jot v1.5.9

This release adds a dedicated terminal editor flow for Markdown notes and fixes duplicate viewer launches when jot open starts the local preview server from a terminal session.

What's new

  • jot write <file.md> opens a full-screen terminal Markdown editor with syntax highlighting, line numbers, and save-or-quit controls.
  • The editor works for both existing files and new Markdown paths, so you can jump straight from jot new into editing.
  • Quick formatting shortcuts now cover headings, list items, code fences, inline code, emphasis, and horizontal rules.

Fixes

  • jot open now starts __viewer with --no-self-open when the parent process will open the printed localhost URL itself, so terminal launches open exactly one viewer window.
  • Direct Explorer-style __viewer launches still self-open as before because the flag defaults to off unless the parent opts in.

Improvements

  • Built-in help, README install examples, and terminal-editor copy now match the current behavior and no longer ship broken encoded symbols.
