Character Breaks and Keyboard Shortcuts

Hi,

As a screenwriter, I LOVE the outlining features that Storyist presents to me over Final Draft and Screenwriter. However, when writing in screenplay format, I've noticed some problems that I hope are addressed in the next update:

 

1. When a character is speaking on the bottom of one page, and his dialogue is carried to the top of the next his character name does not follow. In short, I just have "widowed" dialogue at the top of a page. I often see this problem when a parenthetical is involved. I've tried editing character and dialogue elements in the inspector but it's to no avail.

 

2. This may sound silly, but because of my years working on FD and Screenwriter, I'm used to the keyboard shortcuts (using my Control + Number Keys) to cycle through the various elements. I'd rather use this feature instead of just using the "Tab" or "Return" key feature. Is there any way to edit this in Styles? I've looked but I haven't been successful. Perhaps this, too, can be addressed in the next version?

 

 

Doug
