I’d like to suggest some ideas that might be an improvement for Scrivenings mode on the Mac. I’m not sure if they are all new. I did some searching but got no luck.
Allow a Use Label Color in… Scrivenings titles option. I think it would look great and also give the interface a new consistency value.
Display Scrivenings titles with the same format defined for the Binder & Outliner titles. That is, embolden or italicised according to the options selected by the user. This would also improve consistency.
Create an option to display the Scrivenings titles indented according to their depth in the Binder & Outliner (just the title, not the text). IMHO this would help to have some more context while editing.
Make the Collapse & Expand commands work in Scrivenings mode, which would make it behave much like the Outliner but with real text instead of synopses.
Not a bad idea, but probably a nightmare from the implementation standpoint. I understand that folding text is a lot easier using the plain-text kit (you’ll find numerous examples in coding editors and some “Markdown” style text editors, on the Mac—all plain-text when you get down to it, though), and essentially impossible (even according to Apple’s technicians) in the rich text kit. Keith looked into this several years ago, when we were looking for a way to make it so inline annotations could be collapsed and expanded.
On the other three, one of those is for certain, and the rest is stuff we have on the list to think about. I’ll leave which is which to mystery for now.
Just wondering, but maybe a workaround to implement collapsable inline annotations would be to asign them a temporary “null font”, that is, a font which every character is mapped to a null glyph. When expanded, they get their original font assigned and then display in full.
If we guess which one is it, do we get certainty for the other two? :mrgreen:
