The new distro LTS release 20.04.1 just came out so I made a clean install and was happy to find that it came with Sigil 1.1.0.

The initial pleasure was muted when I saw it with default gaudy icons occupying 3 rows and about 12% of the vertical screen. Once reduced to minimum size and redocked on a single row, it was ok except that I was then reminded why I left Calibre's editor for Sigil way back in 2015. Sigil's F2 toggle from coding to preview suited me very well, F2 coming easily to the left hand.

There was an initial scare when the EpubCheck plugin wouldn't work but that was down to the new distro not having Java or a JRE and was soon remedied.

All good now.
