macOS Tahoe PSA: There currently seem to be some performance issues with Electron apps, including Zettlr. These appear to be benign as far as we can see, but some might find them distracting, so be aware of that before updating!

Gerade habe ich ein Mega-Update mit einer Tonne neuer Snippets und verbesserten @zettlr.com -Snippets online gestellt: gitlab.kit.edu/uhrhr/zettlr...

As Open Source Software, we do not charge you anything to use Zettlr. However, we do have costs to deliver new updates and improvements to you. If you wish to give something back, become a supporter! All infos: zettlr.com/supporters

+++ NEW RELEASE +++ Zettlr 3.6 has just been released! Introducing text transformations, theme and performance improvements, and bug fixes! Read more here: github.com/Zettlr/Zettl...

Since the features are almost complete and more users stumble upon it every day, we have decided to fast-track the rewritten table editor to make the app better for all. Soon in beta. Read more here:

+++ NEW RELEASE +++ Zettlr 3.5.1 has just been released. It includes a few minor bug fixes, nothing major. The various distribution sites will have it available in the coming hours! github.com/Zettlr/Zettl...

+++ NEW RELEASE +++ We have just released Zettlr 3.5.0, with exciting new features! You can download it directly from GitHub, or via the updater in your app!

One of the biggest hurdles of successful open source development is proper and efficient governance. Since last year, we have a steering committee overseeing continued development. Read more on its duties on our blog:

The new TableEditor will bring many improvements even for users who prefer to edit raw table syntax: With a suite of novel keyboard shortcuts, editing tables in raw Markdown syntax is now faster than ever. See the preliminary list of shortcuts in the PR: github.com/Zettlr/Zettl...

The biggest improvement of the upcoming TableEditor revamp is certainly that it is now impossible to lose any data. With a new approach that interweaves the table with the underlying document, instead of layering it on top of it, each character is immediately persisted to the document.

One of the most important productivity features for a Markdown-enabled app is the ability to efficiently work with tables, and keep the cumbersome syntax out of the way as much as possible. Over the past year, we have been working hard on an overhaul of our table editor: github.com/Zettlr/Zettl...

An exciting feature that we hope to ship in one of the upcoming versions is keyboard shortcut customization. A Pull Request with a proof of concept is already open, and we'll be working hard to make it a reality! github.com/Zettlr/Zettl...

We have unified the various keybindings under the hood for the next version. While this won't affect your experience much, it allows us to gain an overview over the available commands and improve the keyboard navigation in the editor going forward.

The next release of Zettlr will feature folding keyboard shortcuts. That means that you can use your keyboard to fold and unfold Markdown headers, and TeX and YAML sections without having to click the arrow keys left to the editor.

We're all for equality, but typing four =-characters can be cumbersome — especially if you have to highlight a lot of text. That's why the next version will finally close an old issue and add a keyboard shortcut for ==highlighting text==: Ctrl-Shift-H.

The next version will aid your muscle memory: most keyboard shortcuts will be shared across all editors in the app — custom CSS, snippets, and profiles included. No more shortcuts that only work in the main editor.

+++ ANNOUNCEMENT +++ An APT Repository for Zettlr We are excited to share the news that Zettlr now finally offers an official APT repository to install Zettlr much easier than ever before! zettlr.com/post/an-apt-...

While Zettlr 3.4.4 was mostly a maintenance release, the next version is all focused on improving the keyboard shortcut experience. In the coming days, we'll be sharing some details on the upcoming improvements!

Over the coming days, we'll be a bit more active here and share some exciting updates for Zettlr in the coming releases. So stay tuned! If you don't already follow this account, now is a great time — we appreciate every supporter here on this network!

+++ NEW RELEASE +++ We have just released Zettlr 3.4.4 with a many small improvements. Download it directly from our website, or using the updater, which should announce the update within the hour. github.com/Zettlr/Zettl...

Next week, we‘ll release a small maintenance patch for Zettlr that will also finally fix the export behavior for internal links.

Only one week left for our traditional review of the year! We have quite some things in stock for you, so stay tuned for December 26! In the meantime, if you're currently thinking about Christmas gifts, consider donating to support our open development – find out more on https://buff.ly/3ZL9D9A!

Mid-December has passed, and as we’re closing in on Winter solstice, this also means that Zettlr‘s birthday is closing in. This year, we have quite a lot to report in our yearly looking-back-and-forward post, including a few exciting announcements for you! So stay tuned for an extra-treat next week!

The holiday season is upon us. As we collectively think about what do get for our families, why not also give a bit to the apps we use every day? A monthly donation to Zettlr is sustainable: you will never lose access to it, even if you cancel! Your app – your data.

The benefits of domain knowledge: I'm currently in a paper submission phase and the journal has a word limit of 10k. But Zettlr didn't allow viewing the total word count across an entire project. Now it does. (Coming with the next update, hopefully before Christmas — we have a TON in store!)

Want to know more about the head behind Zettlr? Here's a quick introduction from Hendrik to Bluesky!
