Improvements

  • Added a new screen in settings (General → Advanced) to show the total app load time. You can also enable a toggle to get a notified when startup takes too long, including details for debugging.
  • Page previews will stay open even if the window loses focus or the command palette appears.
  • Spellcheck is now disabled for inline tags.
  • Pressing Esc now instantly closes the page preview while editing.
  • Dragging a .webloc or .url file into the editor creates a Markdown link with the filename as the display text.
  • Hovering over a notice keeps it on screen until you move the mouse away.
  • Added a right-click menu for footnotes to delete both the footnote and its reference.
