What’s New
Saving the cursor position is now a setting. We’ve added a checkbox to the Preferences that lets you control this behavior. It defaults to off. So now you must opt-in to saving the cursor position.
Flexible scene numbering. Sometimes you find yourself needing to number elements that aren’t strictly Scene Headers. For example, in a montage, each line might merit its own number. So we’re trying a new feature.
You can now number any element (except transitions and right-aligned elements). Just add #number# to the end of the line.
Characters sidebar panel fixes. We’ve fixed the Characters sidebar panel so it updates correctly, and added back in the ability to highlight dialogue in PDFs.
Tweaks to scene header auto-capitalizing. We’ve updated Editor Preferences to read “Auto-uppercase INT. and EXT. scene headers.”
The new wording is because we’ve removed auto-uppercasing of forced scene headers (such as “.kitchen”). Here’s why: There are times when you want to be able to add ellipses to the start of a line, which would lead to unwanted (and unexpected) uppercase. If you’d like your forced scene headers uppercase in the Editor you’ll have to type in caps, or hit Shift-Return at the end of the line.
Scene headers — both regular and forced — will still be uppercase in the PDF regardless.
Brighter invisible characters. If you use “Show Invisibles” to see the formatting marks in the Editor, we have brightened those characters across all themes.
