![v0.12.0
+ The Details Panel is universal across all views, making backlinks accessible anywhere.
+ Added several improvements to Creation Rules:
- Creation Rules now support Content Templates. Template tokens are highlighted within notes, and include explanatory tooltips and
autocomplete.
- Creation rules of parent folders will show up in the creation rule list of sub-folders that would be affected.
- ISO week numbers are now supported in name & content templates.
+ New keyboard control and shortcuts:
- Cmd/Ctrl+Alt+Up opens the settings panel in the current pane. Pane settings can be navigated by the keyboard
- The Feed, Cards, and List Lenses can be navigated with the keyboard.
- The "Move to Left Note" Cmd/Ctrl+Alt+Left shortcut to move keyboard focus to The Sidebar. Pressing Cd/Ctrl+Alt+Right while
focus is in the sidebar will return focus to the leftmost pane.
- The - and * list characters are now treated as different kinds. Swapping between them in a list will propagate that change to all lower
siblings.
- List glyphs automatically change as you indent, progressing from alpha to numeric and
* to -. This can be disabled in the note settings.
- Added support for 1) and A) style ordered lists. These count as "large lists" in the same way as * unordered lists.
- Added support for using several unicode bullet characters (e.g. •, °,,, *) as list glyphs (PR 364)
+ More file & embedding features:
- Link to specific PDF page numbers and times in audio & video files.
- Embedded PDF files now show the entire linked page.
- Added the option in the context menu to update an image from the clipboard.
- Added • webp image files to the image allow list.
+ Added display of link context on the Map View when available.
+ Sentence focus will highlight the previous sentence if the cursor is within trailing whitespace of a line. This leaves the last sentence highlighted
when you haven't yet started a new one.
+ Changed word count mechanism to /\S+/, improving non-latin word counts.
+ Added support for drag-dropping files in the sidebar to root.
+ Made the floating "Create" button universal across the Folder, Feed, & List Lenses.
+ Added an option to base keyboard shortcuts on keycode values, keeping them in the same physical location as locals change.
+ Added support for unbalanced parentheses in markdown links when urls are wrapped in angle brackets.
+ Added a setting to disable auto-updates.
+ Added support for updating links to folders when folders are renamed.
+ Added support for only showing spell check in filenames and note content when that note or filename has editing focus. Enabled by default.
+ Changed default font to the more modern system-ui.
+ Updated to Electron 42.1 and Svelte 5.

could toggle off that second style rather than adding a new inline range.

paragraph.
