Zavala 2.5

[vincode-io]

Zavala 2.5 has been out for a while now. The big changes are the ability to enter Outline Mode by using the ESC key. You can now also select using the arrow keys.

Another big change was how Splitting and Joining works. You can now Split a row by using the Return key while in the middle of a Topic. You can also Join now by deleting or backspacing at the end or beginning of a row respectively.

Full Changelog:

• Pressing ESC while editing a Topic now selects the current row and puts Zavala into Outline Mode. Pressing ESC while selecting a row (Outline Mode) will conversely put Zavala in Edit Mode.
• You can now select rows using shift plus the up and down arrow keys.
• If there is a Note attached to a Topic the ^- keyboard shortcut will now jump the cursor between the Topic and the Note instead of being disabled.
• Deleting at the beginning or ending of a Topic will now join it to the Topic of the adjoining Row.
• Pressing Enter in the middle of a Topic will now split the Row into two separate Rows based on the cursor position.
• Removed the Split Row menu item since we now make splits more intuitive. The keyboard shortcut is still available though.
• Change menu option “Duplicate” to “Duplicate Row” to better match the menu options next to it.
• We now move the Row left (outdent) if the Row is the last child Row and the Topic is empty when the Return key is pressed.
• Made switching away from or between Outlines faster.
• Made the cursor and selected text even easier to see when using the default accent color.
• Made the Collection icon white when selected.
• Fix line skipping when cursoring up or down by hitting the arrow keys quickly.
• Fixed a crash that could happen if you double tapped the Show Undo Menu button.
• Trying to sync an Outline that has over 750 children at the top level or under a single row will now throw an error. This is an iCloud limitation that we can’t work around, but which most users are unlikely to run into.
• Changed how Backlinks are synced to remove the possibility of losing them sporadically.
• When Zavala is requested to open an outline using a URL, it will now present an error message instead of silently failing if the outline no longer exists.
• Fixed a bug that could change the value of a parent row when a child row completion was undone and the parent row had previously autocompleted.
• Changed how we save sync requests to reduce the possibility of losing a request while moving to the background and syncing at the same time.
• Fixed duplicate copy/cut rows when selecting a parent and some of its children at the same time and then pasting them into another program.
• macOS
  • Fixed a problem where on some desktops the Search field couldn’t be typed into without crashing.
  • Disabled auto correct on the search field. It was reissuing the search when correcting and deselecting items in the Documents view when it did.
