mori 1.0.2

The app is called mori. It was mote when 1.0.2 first went out on 2026-09-14; nothing else changed with the name — same editor, same licence keys, same addresses.

• The window, the twelve languages, mori --version, the binary, the app id com.motemd.Mori, the desktop entry and icons, the apt package mori, the Flatpak com.motemd.Mori, and the file names of every download.
• Your settings come with you. The first launch renames ~/.local/state/mote (dev: mote-dev) to the new name once — settings, sessions, drafts, backups, the trial record and an activation move with it.
• apt: a transitional mote package pulls in mori, so sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade moves an installed copy across — or sudo apt install mori outright. (apt-get upgrade will not: it never installs a package that was not there before. apt-get full-upgrade does.) Flatpak moves with flatpak update. The AppImage and the tarball do not update themselves to this build — the version number is unchanged, so the update check sees nothing newer; run the same install command again, or download the file, and you have it.
• Licence keys still begin with MOTE-. A key you already have keeps working.

Cards keep their keys, the palette is the web editor's, and the switch is a switch.

Cards and Ctrl+W

• With Preferences, a "Save changes?" card or the palette open, Ctrl+W closes the card — not the window. Before, the window's shortcut fired first: one clean document, one tab, and the whole app was gone without a word. No other document shortcut (Ctrl+N, Ctrl+O, Ctrl+T…) reaches through a card any more either; the card's own keys are unchanged.

The command palette

• Ctrl+K is now the same palette as the web editor's: 520 wide, 84 px from the top, a 46 px field, a list no taller than 320 px that scrolls to keep your selection in view, hover in the selection colour.

Lists in cards

• The palette and the Preferences sheet scroll in a lane of their own — an 8 px lane at the card's inner right edge, there only while the list overflows. The bar used to be painted over the rows, across the shortcut text.

The Preferences switch

• A real pill: 34 × 20, the knob touching both ends with a 2 px inset. It slides over 200 ms while the track colour crosses over, and stretches a little towards where it is going while you hold it — the proportions of iOS's switch. Reduced motion makes it instant.
• Its styling used to leak onto every toggle button in the app, which is why the mode switcher (Live / Source / Read) grew a grey pill under the pointer that overlapped the thumb, and why the header's sidebar button was a shade too dark on hover. The switcher's hover is colour only now.

The header and the rail

• With the file rail open the header keeps its hairline even at the top of the page, so the rail and the paper meet at a line. Close the rail at the top and the header is the page again.

Ctrl+N without a folder

• Nothing changes on disk: with no folder open, Ctrl+N is a new tab, and the message says so — "New tab — no folder is open, so this document is untitled until you save it". With a folder open it still writes Untitled.md there.

Install

• Ubuntu 22.04+ / Debian 12+: sudo apt install ./mori_1.0.2_amd64.deb, or the apt repository (https://get.motemd.com) — the .deb carries its own GTK under /opt/mori
• Any distribution with Flatpak: flatpak install --from https://get.motemd.com/flatpak/mori-stable.flatpakref, or flatpak install ./mori-1.0.2-x86_64.flatpak (both register mori's own repository, so flatpak update keeps it current)
• Ubuntu 22.04+ and any glibc 2.35+ distribution: the AppImage, or curl -fsSL https://get.motemd.com/install.sh | sh
• Verify: gpg --verify SHA256SUMS.asc SHA256SUMS && sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS — key https://get.motemd.com/mori.asc, fingerprint 2E25 9EF2 B369 0ECE 0B3F 56D9 6658 9312 CB84 475F
