Zettlr
A markdown editor for academic writing, note-taking, and publishing with Zettelkasten support.
What’s new
Verified 3h agoThe next update for Zettlr comes again with a bundle of improvements and new features for you to enjoy. Again, we have spent a lot of time fixing a magnitude of issues and improving the usability of the app.
Besides these rather minor but plentiful improvements, there are two notable new features. First, we are more than happy to finally implement custom shortcuts. Those have been on our users' wishlist for years, and we are happy that we finally could make it work to add them to the customizable things you can do in the app. From now on, you can adjust many existing shortcuts to better fit your muscle memory. In addition, we have made available all text transforms via these shortcuts so that you can assign shortcuts to those that you frequently use. In addition, the interface will warn you if a shortcut you chose would possibly conflict with another command. We have designed this feature to be extensible, and right now not all commands can be customized. So if there is one you always wished you could customize, and it's not yet part of the custom shortcut settings, let us know so we can add it!
A second feature that has been in some demand is the ability to change the editor
