Blanc 1.46.0

Added

  • Island size. Settings → General → Island size makes the Island and
    its buttons bigger: choose Default, Large or Extra large. The site address
    grows with it, and the page moves down to make room. It's set on each
    device.
  • Mini Window. A small Blanc window for looking something up or opening a
    link without leaving the app you're in. Open one from File → New Mini
    Window
    , from Blanc's Dock menu on a Mac, or with a shortcut that works in
    any app while Blanc is running: turn it on in Settings → General → Mini
    window shortcut
    (⌥⌘N or ⌃⌥Spacebar on a Mac, Ctrl+Alt+Spacebar or
    Ctrl+Shift+Spacebar on Windows and Linux). The shortcut is off by default,
    and Settings says so if it can't be used. A mini window isn't
    saved, links from other apps never open in it, and it closes after an hour
    unused unless a page in it is in use or has unsaved changes; closing its
    last tab closes it too. Choose Open in Blanc to keep it as an ordinary
    window.
  • Ctrl+Tab by most recent use on the Mac. Ctrl+Tab now goes back through
    the tabs you used last on macOS too, as it already does on Windows and
    Linux: hold Ctrl and press Tab, then let go to switch, or press Esc to stay
    where you are. To go by position instead, choose In the order of the tab
    list
    in Settings → General → Switch tabs with Ctrl+Tab.

Changed

  • Sync checks for changes more often. While a Blanc window is in front,
    Blanc checks for changes from your other devices every 15 seconds instead of
    once a minute, and downloads only what changed.
  • A cleaner Glance card. The Glance card no longer draws a border or a line
    around its page; its shadow sets it apart, and its GLANCE label brightens
    when it has focus.

Fixed

  • With Spaces sync on, the Choose Spaces sheet opens at once instead of
    waiting behind "Sync is busy; retrying.", Turn on closes it as soon as
    your choice is saved while the upload carries on in the background, and
    Cancel always works.
  • A Space you save while Spaces sync is on shares itself and reaches your other
    devices in seconds, instead of waiting a minute or more, including a Space
    whose only tab is the New Tab page.
