Quality of Life Update

This update focuses on many minor improvements so that working with Zettlr becomes much more pleasant. While the previous two updates focused on fixing bugs that unfortunately made it into the app, this update can solely focus on improving your interaction with the app. We heavily improved the readability mode, the global search, and the TableEditor. But also outside of these three larger modules we have improved the app's behavior a lot. For example, the app now remembers if you had the sidebar open, and even on which tab you were so you don't have to open the sidebar again and again when launching Zettlr.

As always, we encourage you to read the full changelog below to see for which things you can finally forget your clumsy workaround and just enjoy writing productively!

Changelog

GUI and Functionality

• Right-clicking citations doesn't select parts of it anymore
• Inline-equations are now properly syntax highlighted
• Fixed a bug that caused unintentional pastes when closing a tab using the
  middle mouse button on Linux
• Heavily improved the full text search: Previously, certain files that should
  have been returned for specific search terms were not considered a match, and
  multiple results per line were mostly not reported; additionally, search
  results are now ordered by relevancy and the search results are marked more
  visibly
• Heavily improved the table editor user interface: Now the table editor will on
  certain actions write all changes back to the document so that the possibility
  of data loss involves a single table cell at most in case the user forgets to
  un-focus the table. Furthermore, the table editor will now not be removed from
  the document when it loses focus, and instead the table will be updated
  silently
