Paperless Notes 4.4.0

Writing

• Spelling is rebuilt. Obvious typos such as teh, recieve or becuase are corrected as soon as the word
  ends, each correction as its own undo step, and a small note under the word shows the change: Esc puts
  your word back this time and the same typo is still corrected next time, Shift+Esc puts it back and adds
  it to your dictionary, and Ctrl+Z also undoes it. Names, slang and less certain words are only underlined: rest the
  pointer on one, or press Ctrl+Period with the caret in it, for suggestions, Add to dictionary and Ignore.
  Right-clicking the word lists the same. Settings, Writing, Fix obvious typos as you type turns the
  corrections off. The faded suggestion drawn over the word and its bar are gone.
• Enter inside bold, italic or strikethrough keeps both lines formatted; Backspace or Delete at the join
  makes the run whole again. Each is one undo step.
• Bold, italic, strikethrough, code and links can run across a line break inside one paragraph, list item
  or quote, as on GitHub and in Obsidian, in the editor and in exports.
• Pasting from web pages, Word or Google Docs no longer leaves stray or empty ** marks. Quotes and list
  items keep their structure, and text pasted inside bold takes on the bold.
• Ctrl+B, Ctrl+I and strikethrough leave punctuation next to a word outside the marks, so the result shows
  as bold everywhere.
• Enter in a quote continues the quote; Enter on an empty quote line ends it.
• The word count leaves out Markdown marks: list dashes, heading hashes, quote marks, table pipes, task
  boxes and list numbers.
• A new, empty note shows a faint "Use [/] for quick slash commands!" until you type.

Tab groups

• Split view is replaced by tab groups, as in Notepad++. The button beside the search box, or
  Ctrl+Shift+\, opens the current note in a new group beside it, up to three groups. Drag a tab onto
  another group, or right-click it and choose Move to group. A group closes with its last tab, F6 moves to
  the next group, and the groups come back when the app starts. A second pane saved by 4.3.0 comes back as
  a second group.

Note colours

• Format, Theme chooses one note's background and text colours with colour pickers. The page, title and
  buttons above the text take them on, the other colours are mixed from them, and the dialog warns when
  the text would be hard to read. Every view of that note shows them, they are kept on this PC, and they
  follow the note when it or its folder is renamed. Use default theme goes back to the theme in Settings,
  which is now called Default theme.
• Export as HTML and PDF follow the note's colours, with the colour reaching the edge of each PDF page.

Interface

• A separate Export menu, last in the row beside Note, holds every export and copy option. The Note menu
  keeps Find, Replace and the outline. The buttons in that row are evenly spaced.
• On first start the window opens at a moderate size in the middle of the screen instead of filling it,
  and a remembered size that no longer fits the screen is brought back onto it.
• Closing the sidebar slides, with the page moving along, instead of snapping.
• The check after a save stays for as long as the note is saved.
• Settings is shorter and scrolls.
• Tips stay on screen, even when the window is wider than the screen.
• The top-right corner pixel of the window now hits Close.
• Settings is redesigned with sections for Appearance, Writing, Saving and Window, and switches that slide.
• Switching between light and dark fades smoothly, the window fades in when the app starts, and dialogs
  fade in.
• The slash menu, the emoji list, the selection format bar and the spelling popups share one look and fade
  into place.
• The status bar shows a small turning mark while a save takes more than a moment, then a check once the
  note is saved.
• Windows no longer flash on the screen for a moment while the app starts.
• Settings, Window, Reduce motion turns all of these animations off.

Export

• Export as shown, in the Export menu: a PDF on US Letter pages, one long PNG image, or a web page that looks
  the way the note looks in the editor, in your theme, note font, zoom and column width, with its title,
  dots, task boxes, quote bars, code panels and rules. Pages break between lines and keep a heading with the
  text under it. The existing HTML, PDF and plain text exports are unchanged.

Fixes

• Typing - under a list item or quote no longer turns the line above into a large heading for a moment.
  Lists and quotes followed by a dash or equals line are never read as headings, in the editor, the outline
  or exports.
• List dashes, task boxes and quote bars always become dots, boxes and bars. Lines with emoji lost them, and
  the line you left after an undo or paste could keep its raw dash.
• With the same note in two tab groups, the narrower group wraps its lines instead of scrolling sideways.
