Bug Fixes and Performance Improvements | Keyboard Shortcuts
Over the past weeks, we have managed to include a few improvements left and right, which mostly involve bug fixes and minor tweaks. More notably, we have performed some work on the keyboard shortcut situation. First, we have unified and harmonized the keyboard shortcuts available to you by using the same keymap across all editors that you can see across the app (including in the assets manager), which hopefully reduces friction for those who frequently adapt profiles or snippets. We have also added a few new keyboard shortcuts and fixed a few conflicts. Other than that, we are happy to report that, thanks to community efforts, the French and Czech translations have been updated.

Changelog
GUI and Functionality
- Feature: The code editors (in the assets manager and elsewhere) now share
the same keymap as the main editor. - Feature: The image renderer now acknowledges and respects the presence of
a Pandoc link attributes string behind an image to scale images using custom
sizes (#1328). - Change: Removed some optional properties from the default profiles. If you
want to switch to the new defaults, delete those files from the assets manager
or rename your existing ones. Specifically, removedtop-level-division,
whose meaning has changed which started to produce empty first pages during
Word exports (#5645). - Fixed a long-standing bug that would not clear the modification marker on both
file tabs (#5747) and the macOS window indicator (#4724) when a modified file
was closed without saving changes. Acknowledges PR #5747 which is superseded
by this change. - Added a keyboard shortcut for highlighting text:
Ctrl-Shift-H(#4668). - The Mermaid diagram renderer is now more flexible. It now renders any Mermaid
diagram in any type of valid fenced code block with both allowed variations of
providing the info string: the plainmermaidand the Pandoc-attribute style
{.mermaid}class (#5734). - Fixed a keymap conflict that would cause
Enterto not accept autocomplete
suggestions in some contexts such as Markdown syntax elements (#5646). - Improved the math, mermaid, image, and heading renderers so that they perform
additional checks before actually updating their respective rendered elements.
This should reduce the amount of flickering and unintentional scrolling
especially in longer documents with many of such elements. - Enable the CodeMirror folding keymap which lets you fold and unfold code, such
as headings, with keyboard shortcuts instead of using the arrows to the left
of the editor (#857). The shortcuts are:Ctrl-Shift-[(Windows/Linux) or
Cmd-Alt-[(macOS) for folding code,Ctrl-Shift-]orCmd-Alt-]for
unfolding,Ctrl-Alt-[for folding all, andCtrl-Alt-]for unfolding all. - Update
fr-FRtranslation (#5738). - Update
cs-CZtranslation (#5775).
Under the Hood
- Cache ESLint results to improve subsequent linter run speed (#5706).
- Spawn shell when starting test GUI on Windows (#5685).
- Markdown commands now check whether the provided target
EditorViewis parsed
using a Markdown parser before running. - Move all keymaps into a single
defaultKeymap. - Assume
**as default bold and*as default italic formatting for Markdown
commands if the config field is not present. - Added a
pandocLinkParserfor properly parsing pandoc link attribute strings.
