- Double-Click selects word under cursor anyplace (restoring previous behaviour)

- Shift Doubleclick in a tag selects that tags contents

-Alt Doubleclick in a tag selects that tag and its contents.

:thanks::thanks:

The score publisher, Sibelius, uses TRIPLE-click. One click selects a bar, two selects a line, three selects that staff throughout the score. I believe the program is developed in qt.

Is that an option?

BeckyEbook 03-24-2021 12:44 PM

Yes, this works by default. Triple-clicking selects the entire paragraph.

To be honest... I had no idea there were any kind of "industry standard" word-highlighting shortcuts before this thread. I'm a dyed-in-the-wool manual highlighter, myself. So all highlighting shortcuts will probably interfere with my double-clicking habits. ;)

I demand vim key bindings! "v" switches from the command mode to the visual highlight mode!

:D

Since no other bug reports have been received, I would assume that Sigil-1.5.0 beta is reasonably stable.

If none come in in the next couple days, we will make a normal Sigil-1.5.1 with the 3 fixes so far and mark it as production ready.

Thanks to all testers.

I have been using 1.5.0 since we started work on the user manual, and it has been faultless for me.

I realise I am not a power-user, so there is probably a great deal of Sigil that I don't use, but what little I do use has worked as expected.

Just finished a big project using 1.5.0.beta. No issues. At one point I was dealing with a single xhtml file of the whole book. Response when editing such a large file seems to have improved?

I have been doing my typical non-power user thing using the beta for awhile with no obvious issues.

What was odd (and probably unrelated to the beta), was my other PC with the current release completely lost my Sigil config (something that has not happened in years) .
Was there any changes that would make a rollback (if needed) or config sync fail?

KevinH 03-25-2021 11:33 AM

Nothing config related has changed in the beta.

When you say "lost the config" did you mean the ini file got corrupted? Or physically the ini file disappeared? Or that is was ignored at start-up once. If the latter, were you running multiple copies of Sigil? Could one instance have locked the file for updating, preventing the second instance of Sigil from reading it?

Leaving the Find and Replace open when closing Sigil, does seem to cause the ini file settings for window placement to be ignored sometime, at least in macOS, but that has been an issue inside Qt for a long time.

Wiped out the entire config folders contents. All that was there was a brand new install version. Nothing was from a previous use (I have a lot of clips and saved searches as well as Diaps Toolbag :pand others .
All gone.

This had to be Windows 10 :angry: then. Some background updates don't play well until I reboot (even tho reboot required is not displayed).

KevinH 03-25-2021 01:06 PM

Yes, Sigil 1.4.3 and 1.5.1 has no way to remove the config folder and its contents unless that exact same folder path was somehow set as the path to a temporary folder and set that way in Sigil's preferences.

So my guess is something else cleaned it out.

Could a change in Windows 10 settings or a registry change, change the location for Sigil to save its Preferences to? If so the old config folder may still be lurking about at the old location.

Good thing you had backups!

OFF-TOPIC:

Not to cause a war or anything but, finally updated my old Parallels virtual machine to Windows 10 from Windows 7. What is with all the silly irregular sized coloured tiles when clicking in the start?

I find them confusing and hard to read. Is there a Windows preference to hide those silly tile things?

Sure. Right click on every, Unpin. Done.

Thank you!

exaltedwombat 03-25-2021 01:42 PM

You skipped Windows 8 then? :-)

Yes, software designers seem obsessed by the idea that a picture is more understandable that a name in a menu. Anyone who has ever tried to construct an 'intuitive' set of icons should have had that idea knocked out of them!

It's worth trying a R-click on just about anything in Windows. Interesting options often appear.

One thing I really like in Windows 10 is the 'press the Windows key and just start typing the name of what you want' feature.
