SoloMD v1.3.0 — Slideshow, Welcome Tour & CLI

A big feature drop, inspired by community feedback and a survey of MiaoYan.

✨ Highlights

🎤 Slideshow mode (`Ctrl+Alt+P`)

Turn any markdown document into a fullscreen presentation. Lines containing only --- split the doc into slides — front matter is ignored. Vim-style nav (h j k l), arrows, space, click-to-advance, F for fullscreen, ? for shortcuts, Esc to exit. No Keynote, no PowerPoint, no export step.

👋 Welcome Tour

First-launch experience: 4 in-memory tutorial tabs (Welcome / Markdown syntax / Slideshow / Shortcuts) auto-open, in English or 中文 based on system language. Reopen anytime via the command palette (Open Welcome Tour).

💻 `solomd` CLI tool

A bash wrapper for terminal workflow:

solomd open <title>     # Open a note
solomd new <title>      # Create + open
solomd list             # List notes
solomd search <query>   # Grep / ripgrep across notes
solomd cat <title>      # Print to stdout

Install with one line:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zhitongblog/solomd/main/scripts/install-cli.sh | bash

🪄 Format Markdown (`Ctrl+Alt+L`)

Prettier reformats lists, tables, spacing — front matter preserved.

🎯 Paragraph-level Focus Mode

Focus mode now dims non-active paragraphs instead of just non-active lines. Easier on the eyes during long-form writing.

🔍 Find in Preview (`Ctrl+F`)

Thanks @beihai23 (#21) — Ctrl+F in Preview mode now searches the rendered HTML with highlight + Enter / Shift+Enter navigation.

📚 Help dialog: now with Shortcuts + CLI tabs

The F1 / Ctrl+/ help dialog now has three tabs: Markdown 语法 / 快捷键 / CLI. The keyboard map and CLI usage are both bilingual and click-to-copy.

🪶 Quality of life

🇨🇳 CJK writing fonts — LXGW WenKai, LXGW Bright, TsangerJinKai listed in Settings → Font (install separately, falls back to PingFang).
🛠 Toolbar icon polish — Save As and Command palette icons disambiguated (#21).
🚫 Disabled toolbar buttons in Preview mode — Focus / Typewriter / Spellcheck greyed out where they don't apply.
💸 PayPal sponsor card on solomd.app for international supporters.

🐞 Fixes

Outline toggle button moved below tab bar so it doesn't overlap.
Focus mode highlights the entire current paragraph correctly across selection ranges.

🙏 Thanks
