v0.7
March 28, 2025
This update is all about speed. We use Floaters every day for work, but with all of the new features being requested & added, the app started slowing down more than anticipated. The rendering engine has been overhauled and optimized, giving much quicker response times when doing basically anything in Floaters.
- General Huge performance improvements when typing, scrolling, selecting, or basically doing anything in the app. Everything in the rendering engine has been greatly optimized to make Floaters much quicker, which is kind of the whole point of the app.
- General Now will differentiate actions when determining if a character is a break in word, and have different values for keyboard navigation vs text wrap.
- General Will no longer consider an underscore a break in a word when navigating via keyboard.
- General Will now consider several other characters as breaks in words including punctuation, slashes, brackets, etc when navigating via keyboard.
- General Improved scrolling performance in other ways
- General Scrolling past the boundaries of a floater will no longer trigger a refresh
- General Changed the keyboard bindings to trigger a full refresh of the current note to Control+Option
- Bug Fix → Selecting with a keyboard should remember the direction of the selection so that the arrow keys will apply to start/end of selection
- Bug Fix → Moving cursor/selection with arrow keys acts unexpectedly sometimes
