Just a note for consideration: I’ve never used VMware; have used VBox with Mac and Windows as hosts, Linux guests. VMware’s latest release, v12, has a “free” personal, non-commercial use version of VMware Fusion Player. As I understand it, you have to register at their site before downloading. It ap...

If I'm understanding the issue, something to try.... First, in Scrivener Preferences > Corrections > Punctuation > tick box for––Disable smart quotes in script mode....(There's also a setting there for disabling smart dashes and ellipses in script mode.) Then, before entering a Code Span or Block, e...

Prior to merging them, "tag" the beginning of each document with an Inline Annotation . Beyond the numbering desire, the Inline Annotation could be made additionally useful. One thing a meaningful tag is useful for––it's searchable (in a selective way) using Scrivener's Find by Formatting ...

If you're speaking of color sets: macOS Tip If you wish to share your colour sets with other users, or transfer them to another computer, you will find a file in your user Library folder, under Colors, named Scrivener.clr. Place this file into the same folder on the second computer and it should bec...

(An ongoing issue for ou...

Installation was a piece of cake, Scrivener shows up in the apps and everything. Only problem is that it does not run. Any idea? I have not but yesterday di...

Get a good night’s sleep, eat your veggies and stay clear of bus courses.

Carry on.

Also see the post immediately following the one I linked to. AmberV has added info about zoom's effect on the selection tool.


Best......

Another approach that may be workable is to use the fluid Zoom capability (pinch gesture) to alternate between large-scale and finessed selection movements. This is a technique I’ve long used on websites, rather than sitting there and waiting ten minutes for the selector to gradually auto-scroll to...

I’m not sure if I’m properly understanding what you’re trying to accomplish, and although it doesn’t speak to the goal feature you might find this helpful. In the included Tutorial > in the document titled The Editor there’s this: While you type, a live word count appears in the nav bar at the top o...

Never talked substantively to Vic. I imagine he and I would disagree on a thing or three but I trust that it would be disagreement expressed rationally.
