Great news, Keith. Congratulations on this well-deserved honor!

I agree with druid . I've been using Cmd-B, Cmd-I, and Cmd-U produce bold, italic, and underline text on Mac and PC (CTRL version) for as long as I can remember having a computer. These are the most standard, cross-platform kboard shortcuts along with copy, cut & paste. This said, whatever some ...

NWP is ugly. It also makes layout mistakes when opening Word documents. Mellel is so ugly that I couldn't even bring myself to try it. Pages has one major flaw--no autosave. What's the deal with that? As a result, though I hate MS, I'm still using Word when not in Scriv. It's not pretty, but the 08 ...

I totally second the LB vs QS, AmberV. I had been using LB for a long time before QS came about, and while I think it's a great app, and tried it many times at length (I love freeware), it always remained always buggier, slower, took more memory, took more CPU, and was worse at guessing & learni...

Swearing is peculiar in writing. The way the human brain functions makes readers far more sensitive to written swears than they are to oral swears. It's as if, with each written swear, the word is more strongly impressed on the brain, and it remains there, a linger imprint on our memory. Hence, most...

From the website: "It's lists with tabs - it's totally natural."

This doesn't make me very confident.

I have the same problem as suavito and JF when editing the title of index cards in corkboard. And I am in the US on a MBP running 10.4.10. Nothing in console....

Hi Keith, This release looks great! Congratulations on your hard work! I just customized the Toolbar and inserted the new Typewriter icon. It works fine for toggling, but is there a way to indicate which way it is toggled (displaying it as sunken, for instance)? The first time I tried it, I found my...

BTW, when is the final 1.1 coming out? The last beta is working rather well for quite some time....

Keith, A big part of these awards is more about which apps make the OS look great, and which use the coolest OSX features. It's a bit of a showcase for Apple using broad appeal apps. Scriv is absolutely great, but it's not about showcasing OSX--it's about writing. In this day and age.... it's not se...

Congratulations!

And what an endorsement--Jason Snell (VP/Editorial Director of Macworld)finds Scrivener to be his favorite Mac writing tool.

Khadrelt, I did not write that people do not take language seriously. I wrote that they use it to communicate without thought to finer grammatical usage. Further, I don't really understand how your in-laws grammatical usage and becoming engineers connects to what I was writing about: the heated deba...

While I do believe in a greater awareness of gender-biased usage, there is another element about the debate over 'political correct' language that troubles me. Namely, that this debate--often heated in academic environment--is both a distraction from the more important matters, and a irrelevant to t...

I teach writing in a US university, and, of course, I make my students aware of gender-biases in pronouns. I mark those on their papers, and work on making their essays more "gender-correct". This said, I find it rather sad and alarming that you would immediately close a web page over a gr...

Sad news indeed, but he lived a long life, and leaves us a wonderful body of work. I met him once, about ten years ago. He was rather bitter. Had just had a fall and his hip was bothering him--left the evening early, said a bottle of whisky awaited him in his hotel room. Another time, I bumped into ...
