Skrive 1.8.2

The editor's biggest reliability release yet. It closes the whole "nothing is lost" class of bugs and turns code blocks and tables from one-way traps into normal, navigable blocks.

Your work stays put

  • Nothing is dropped on save, quit, or tab switch — the last thing you typed is always written, even a split second after you stop.
  • Paste from Google Docs and Word keeps its formatting — bold and italic survive instead of arriving as flat text.
  • CJK / IME text sticks when composed inside a code block or table cell.
  • Copy grabs exactly what you selected — no unselected code block or table sneaks onto the clipboard, and the copy keeps its own style instead of the document's first block's.
  • Inline images and line breaks behave when you split, delete, or type around them.

Code blocks and tables are no longer traps

  • Leave a code block with the arrow keys, and delete an empty one with Backspace.
  • Click below the last block to start a new paragraph — even under a trailing code block or table.
  • Turn a code block into text (or a heading, list, or quote) from the block menu.
  • Enter in a table cell moves down a row, and drops you below the table from the last row.
  • Pasting into a code block keeps its line breaks instead of collapsing to one line.

Writing niceties

  • Task lists and strikethrough- [ ] and ~~text~~.
  • Smarter paste: hard-wrapped prose flows correctly, and plain-text paste follows standard Markdown rules.
  • Enter at the end of a heading starts a normal paragraph, not another heading.

App

  • Redesigned sidebar — Favorites, Recents, and All, with manual pins and sorting, plus smoother resize and click-to-collapse.
  • In-app bug reporting — report an issue without leaving the app.

Install

  • macOS (Apple Silicon): Skrive-1.8.2-arm64.dmg — signed and notarized.
  • Windows: Skrive-1.8.2-Setup.exe (x64/arm64 portable zips also attached).

Installed copies update themselves automatically.
