Any plans for keyboard shortcuts for formatting? It might be helpful
(and nab Final Draft users) if the shortcuts matched Final Draft?

The reason I mention this is because whenever I try to bring in some
of my older scripts from Final Draft they lose their formatting, and
formatting is something in SuperNotecard for Scriptwriting that takes
longer than in other programs for lack of keyboard shortcuts.

Of course could get around this another way by importing the Final
Draft .fdr format, but I'm not sure how feasible that is?

Sorry if this is a double-post but my previous version may have gotten
lost in the void.

I noticed Tab does the same thing in SNSC as it does in Final Draft -
my bad. I still have the issue of trying to get Final Draft scripts
into SNCS without loss of formatting.

Is the .fdr format somewhat of a proprietary black box, or is it
something that can be read by 3rd parties?

I exported a scene to several of the formats that Final Draft will
allow, plus included the .fdr file. Final Draft exports two types
of .txt, one plain, and the other Text Only With Layout -- a .txt that
somehow preserves formatting.

I hope this is helpful.

I'll send/post some individual scenes in .fdr format when I get home
tonight.
