New features:
- Numerical input is now possible in situations where values were previously displayed. For example, if the length is displayed when drawing a line, the radius when drawing a circle, the angle when moving a rotation control point, and the factor when moving a scaling control point, digits can be typed directly afterward and confirmed with the Return key.
Improvements:
- Instead of Minus / Shift+Minus, the new keyboard shortcut D / Shift+D is used to style a selection dashed / not dashed. Minus is now reserved for future numeric inputs, and a change notification appears when it is pressed. This means that all style options now use letters for keyboard shortcuts. Furthermore, D is easier to reach with the left hand than Minus.
- The rotation control points now snap smoothly to whole degrees instead of abruptly into half degrees. A line above the decimal place of the degree display indicates that it is a whole degree. Half degrees or other special cases such as quarter degrees can now be entered via numerical input.
- The default print scaling has been increased to a grid size of 7 mm / 0.28 in to achieve an approximate font size of 12 pt and thus improve readability. This scaling is the default setting for new installations. For existing installations, it is only applied if Reset is clicked in the print settings via the three-dot menu.
- Switching tools using the Cmd, Shift, and Opt keys is only possible when the window is active. Therefore, the usage aid in the lower left corner does not show a change when another app is being used.
