v1.8.5
A smoother, more trustworthy editor
This release is almost entirely fixes to the editing experience — a long list of gestures that used to quietly do nothing, or do the wrong thing, now behave the way you'd expect.
Fixed
- Selections that touch a code block, table, or divider act on what they can instead of swallowing the gesture.
- Cut works everywhere — it no longer degrades to a copy near code blocks and tables.
- Dividers, code blocks, and tables delete like anything else, and can be selected and removed as a unit.
- Word delete (Option+Backspace), line delete (Cmd+Backspace), and text drag-and-drop now work.
- Keyboard shortcuts no longer double-fire.
- The slash menu can't trap you when nothing matches, and it works inside lists and quotes.
- Turning blocks into other blocks works inside lists, quotes, and across multi-block selections.
- Toolbar and menu commands work on a collapsed caret and no longer lose your selection along the way.
- Pasting keeps its structure over selections, inside containers, and at the start of headings.
- Pasted screenshots render in place, are saved next to your document, and survive reopening it.
New
- Live word count: a quiet counter in the corner of the editor that ticks as you type. Switch it between words, reading time, and characters; select some text and it counts the selection instead. Toggleable in Settings.
- The document outline rail now works in rich mode — ticks, hover popover, and drag-scrub.
- Copy page on
.foliodocuments, with copy as Markdown, HTML, or plain text. - Tab in a table's last cell adds a new row.
- Hover tooltips on the toolbar and controls, a restored inline-code button, and a round of visual polish.
