Accurate Archery

[Steve E]

Accurate archery?

 

This feature request is about arrows. Specifically, the Forward Arrow and the Back Arrow. They don't quite hit their targets.

Normally, when you use a Back Arrow (in, for example, Safari or Wikipedia) it takes you back to your last cursor position. This is not quite true in Storyist.

 

Even if your last position was somewhere in the middle of a Section, the Storyist Back Arrow takes you to the top of that Section, and not your last cursor position.

 

If your Sections are short, or your last cursor position is near the top of the Section, this isn't a big problem. But if your Sections span several pages (as mine often do) or you were last working somewhere in the middle of the Section, you have to search for your last position. This interrupts your work flow, your chain of thought, and your good mood. (Yes, it can sometimes be quite aggravating to pop off to a Setting sheet to check out the color of a wall, only to have to spend a good part of a minute finding your way back.)

 

The current situation is inconsistent with Back Arrow (and Forward Arrow) philosophy and it should change. Hence my Feature Request: Arrows should return you to your cursor position and not the top of a Section.

 

Yours in archery.
