We’ve heard a lot of (good-natured) grumblings regarding the change in the keyboard shortcut from ‘escape’ or ‘command+return’ to switch in and out of Full Screen Mode.
Escape key: This key is reserved by OS X to toggle autocomplete in text views. This had been a conflicting issue in WriteRoom 2, and a battle we couldn’t win in the long run.
As for command+return, it was best to go with the new OS X default behaviors. Now WriteRoom has 2 full screen modes, the current shortcuts avoid other potential conflicts with other default behaviors.
You can edit these commands yourself using the Keyboard preferences in OS X. If a particular shortcut combo doesn’t work, it may be reserved by the system.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Keyboard.
Click Keyboard Shortcuts, and then click Add (+).
Choose an application from the Application pop-up menu. If you want to set the same key combination for a menu command that appears in many applications, choose All Applications.
If the application you want to select does not appear in the list, choose Other and locate the application using the Open dialog. Some applications may not allow you to set keyboard shortcuts.
You must type the command exactly as it appears in the application menu, including ellipses and any other punctuation. An ellipsis is a special character that looks like three periods. To type an ellipsis, press Option-semicolon, or use the Character Viewer. It may be difficult to know whether the command is written in the menu with a real ellipsis or with three periods, so if one does not work, try the other.
Click in the Keyboard Shortcut field and press the key combination that you want to assign to the menu command, and then click Add. You cannot use each type of key (for example, a letter key) more than once in a key combination.
Quit the application for which you added or changed a keyboard shortcut.
Restart the application to see the keyboard shortcut in the application’s menu.
Make sure that you have both menu items specified (Enter Full Screen / Exit Full Screen) The menu time title changes based on current full screen mode, so you need to setup the shortcut for both.
For anyone upgrading from 1.x who installed the update and was met by a crash, it may have been caused by the search string. Anyone who installed and didn’t see a crash? No problem. A fix is in process, now that we know what’s at fault.
WORKAROUND if you’re still on 1.3 (if you haven’t upgraded, or you have a saved copy you can downgrade to):
WORKAROUND if you’re already upgraded to 2.0 1. Export/backup your documents to your computer using iTunes document sharing (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4094) Note: If you were able to link with Dropbox and you know your files are fully synced there, you can skip this step.
Delete TaskPaper 2.0 from device
Reinstall TaskPaper 2.0 from the App Store
Turn on Dropbox sync at TaskPaper 2.0 iOS and put backed-up documents into ~/Dropbox/TaskPaper folder.
Background on issue: Before 2.0, the saved search string value was a simple ‘string’, but now it uses the dictionary type to save search string ‘per’ document name. Our bad. So, some people upgrading from TaskPaper 1.3 can be met with a crash when there is saved search string.
We’ve just released a new Bubbles for iOS update (For toddlers who need a fun distraction) that allows you to smash as many pumpkins as you want.
We are trying something new with this release. Bubbles is now a free download that comes with the tried and true blue bubbles set. For $0.99 each you can download additional Bubble sets, including Balloons, Dandelions, Fall Leaves, and Jack-O-Lanterns. The clay faces set is also still available as a separate free download.
Anyway, if you’ve got a toddler let us know how they like the new sets, and what you’d like to see in the future. We are still experimenting here.
