Writemonkey 0.9.5.0 final is cooked&served

[josip]

Final release notes:

- added: Lookups - new tool for easy querying customized online
resources. Just point to the word and hit ALT+1-9 and the default web
browser with the definition will pop up. You can manage your resources
in Preferences / Lookups. Select a block of text to lookup multiple
words. The feature works best when using two monitors. Put wm on
second monitor, web browser on first (both in full screen). When
writing, hit lookup shortcut and resource will show on the first
monitor while wm will stay full screen on second. You can even write
on while waiting for definitions to load ... By default, resource will
open in default web browser, but you can use any other application
that takes url as an opening parameter. (Preferences / Lookups / Use
other than default browser).

- added: Quick jump feature. Lock scroll position in current doc. and
than quickly jump to it. Hit CTR+F4 to lock. Press&hold F4 to jump,
release to jump back.

- improved: More customizable page count option. The new count is
based on custom formula (Preferences / Progress / Page cont formula).

- improved: Better typing sounds engine - different key sounds for
more authentic experience. New default sound schemes (Old typewriter
and Click keyboard).

- added: Shortcut (ALT+F11) to toggle progress bar type (numeric /
visual).

- added: Markup export now recognizes URLs and e-mail addresses and
makes them clickable in exported text.

- added: Change help card pages with keyboard (Left key, Right key)

- fixed: Visibility problems with opened dialogs (like Jumps or
Find&Replace dialog) when quiting to system tray (soft exit).

- fixed: Problems on some systems when trying to load saved profiles.

- fixed: Inconsistent behavior when selecting Cancel in "Do you want
to save changes?" dialog.

- fixed: No typing sound for some keys (?;:_<>)

-changed: Shortcut keys (ALT+B, ALT+N) for next and previous bookmarks
are reverted. It is more logical this way.

- added: Some more monkey wisdom for the splash screen.

"Open lookup in background" feature from preview #4 didn't make it
into final release due to inconsistent behavior of different web
browsers.

Thanks a lot for implementing the 'use alt. browser' option in lookup
feature.

it is a must and not just in your case. I use Opera to open lookups. I
set it to open links in the same tab which I prefere for lookups. My
default browser is Firefox with "open links in new tabs" enabled ...
thanks for suggestion,
I.

Hi,

I just got a chance to check the site and download the new version.

The Software is great and truly in keeping with the no distraction.
There is however one absolute show stopper still present. I must
switch sounds off, or when creating dialog I am constantly distracted
by the lack of any sound for the tab key. I know it may sound odd
(maybe pedantic too), but to me the periodic omission of a key sound
is a greater distraction than would be possible from anything visual.
