v3.6.0$$$a11y/Dark Mode fixes | Text Transformations | Bug Fixes and Performance Improvements$$$We are happy to present a new update to Zettlr that includes a few nifty new features! Most notably; this update introduces a series of text transformations that you can use to modify any text inside Zettlr. These transformations allow you to; e.g.; capitalize text to sentence or title case; fix errors that often happen when copying from PDF files; or change the text to conform to certain typographical styles. More transformations are to come in the future; but we believe that this is a great start to improve your workflow.$$$$$$A second section in which we were active for this release concerns the theme. First; we have fixed an annoying bug that would never remember your dark mode setting on platforms other than macOS. And second; we have fixed an accessibility issue that would make Zettlr flicker white whenever opening a new window while using dark mode.$$$$$$Finally; this update includes some additional bug fixes and performance improvements; and updates to the framework. For all information; as always; please refer to the complete changelog below.$$$$$$Do you enjoy Zettlr? Consider donating to help us pay for the development costs. You can donate monthly on Patreon or once via PayPal. Additionally; you can sponsor Hendrik Erz on GitHub or send a tip on Ko-Fi. Thanks for your support!$$$$$$Changelog$$$Text Transformations$$$Zettlr now features a set of several text transformation commands in the editor.$$$Using these commands; you can transform various pieces of text in the editor$$$using several strategies aimed at working with both regular text (which you can;$$$e.g.; transform between sentence or title case) and corrupted text (from which$$$you can remove control characters; unnecessary line breaks; and clean up$$$quotation marks). In total; Zettlr now ships with 13 such transform commands;$$$but many more are possible.$$$$$$To utilize these transformations; simply select the text you wish to transform;$$$open the context menu on it; and select the corresponding transformation from$$$the context menu.$$$$$$The available transforms as of now are:$$$$$$Zap gremlins: Removes unwanted control characters (such as form feeds;$$$vertical tabs; and others); which sometimes end up in recognized PDF text.$$$Strip duplicate spaces: Removes any superfluous spaces.$$$Italics to quotes: Turns italic markers (e.g.; *text*) into quotes$$$(text).$$$Quotes to italics: Turns quotation marks (e.g.; text) into italic$$$markers (*text*).$$$Remove line breaks: Removes superfluous linebreaks while retaining any$$$paragraphs (separated by two consecutive linebreaks).$$$Straighten quotes: Turns smart; or magic quotes into regular quotes.$$$Ensure double quotes: Turns any type of quotation (which includes backticks;$$$since those sometimes appear in text copied from PDF files!) into regular$$$double quotes.$$$Double quotes to single: Turns any straight double quotes to single quotes.$$$Single quotes to double: Turns single quotes into double quotes.$$$Emdash — Add spaces around: Ensures that all em-dashes (—) in the text are$$$surrounded by spaces.$$$Emdash — Remove spaces around: Ensures that no em-dashes (—) in the text$$$are surrounded by spaces.$$$To sentence case: Turns the selected text to sentence case.$$$To title case: Turns The Selected Text To Title Case.$$$GUI and Functionality$$$Feature: Zettlr now has text transformations. With these; you can change$$$selected pieces of text using a quick access command menu (#5701). Special$$$thanks to @richdouglasevans for implementing this.$$$Change: Zettlr will no longer parse Markdown-like files that exceed ca.$$$10 MB in size. After some testing; we have determined that 10 MB seems to be$$$a balanced trade-off between parsing as many files as possible and preventing$$$the app to crash (especially on slower computers). Note that this only affects$$$the caching of certain pieces of metadata; such as title; heading level 1; and$$$ID. You will st

Release v3.5.1$$$Bug fixes$$$This is a small update that fixes one especially annoying bug that users have reported since the last version. In addition; it offers an entirely new app translation; and another minor bug fix.$$$$$$Changelog$$$GUI and Functionality$$$Fixed a bug that would make using certain keys such as Enter; Backspace;$$$or quotes in code editors in the Assets Manager unusable (#5797).$$$Added Kazakh language (#5771).$$$Improve fenced code block language detection when using fenced code$$$attributes.
