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 .folio documents, 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.
