I’m experimenting with Scrivener and liking it a lot, so above all, thank you for your efforts. But one aspect of the app I find pesky: the styles. I typically paste draft snippets in the notes pane, but when I do the main pane’s style carries over, so I wind up with an indented serif font. The only way I’ve found to get around this is to apply the notes style—which doesn’t always work. For example, even if I can switch to the notes style, I can necessarily remove the initial indent even by using the alignment commands. In a future version I’d find it helpful if the styles were a lot easier to use and more accessible. As it is, there’s no keyboard command and no toolbar button to access it. A floating palette would be much more convenient than the cumbersome process of getting to the styles window, with its one-at-a-time selection preview.
A little hint, if you use Cmd-Opt-Shift-V instead of Cmd-V, all formatting will be stripped and the incoming text will be set up to look the way the host document is set up to look.
Many thanks for the hint. I also discovered that I can cmd-r to show the ruler in the notes pane, then remove indents and change fonts from there.
Oh wow, yes, no wonder you were frustrated. I thought you were doing all of the fixing with the ruler and was wondering why a floating palette would be more convenient than that!
