[Vova]

The big style train keeps on rolling! This latest version features our redesigned dashboard with tabs and inline object filtering.

It also includes features for better keyboard sund fixes for issues relating to sync and page editing. Thanks to our alpha testers for all your bug reports & feature requests. We hope you enjoy this latest build of Anytype and we look forward to your feedback on the new dashboard.

New features & enhancements

We’ve polished keyboard editing experience to make it smooth around the edges.

• • Support for Inline code and formatting when typing with keyboard. Also we’ve add, ** or __ - bold, * or _ - italic ~~ - strike. Thanks Michael! https://community.anytype.io/t/-/1190
• • You can use shortcuts to create arrows ‘->’ = ‘→’, ‘<-’ = ‘←’, ‘–>’ = ‘⟶’, ‘<–’ = ‘⟵’, ‘<–>’ = ‘⟷’
• • Sometimes you could end up without a cursor on the page, e.g. after removing a block, and break the keyboard flow. Now you can just press Enter or press up and arrow keys.
• • You can now manage toggle with the keyboard. Pressing → at the end of the block will open it. When pressing “Tab” to create a sub-block of a toggle, the toggle block will now expand to show the new block. Same will happen after dropping content into a closed toggle. Thanks Rai, Kite https://community.anytype.io/t/-/1300 !

Fixes & tech

• • Archiving a page on desktop would not removing the pages from Android https://community.anytype.io/t/-/1246
• • Windows Navigation pane is broken
• • App bar is broken for Windows. If Anytype was resized for a screen (Desktop or external monitor), and you disconnect that screen, Anytype does jump to the remaining screen, but is wrongly displayed. Hence you cannot access the minimize or close buttons of the top right corner anymore. Thanks, div3xi https://community.anytype.io/t/-/1263 ,Tanzeel098 https://community.anytype.io/t/-/1275 , floseq

Yay, in-line formatting! Very glad to see this.

As someone noted in Telegram, there is now both a “Bin” and “Archive”, and I noticed there is a “delete” option in the page menu now (only accessible after using Archive). This appears to send things to the “bin”, although not consistently. But it’s good to see progress on this as it was mentioned previously to be coming in the “next” release, I believe.

Anyway, lots of little bugs I could note, and will do so as time allows. But glad to see such quick evolution lately.
