Survey from Scrivener

[antares]

Yesterday in my email, got a survey from Scrivener. Who else got one?

I said I wanted to see Scrivener for Linux. Anyone else?

Any other survey items you want to discuss?

If I got one, I deleted it without paying enough attention to remember it. Scrivener already does everything I need. Any additions are just so many features I'll never use, which has already happened with v. 3. For me version 3 on Mac only meant I spent a lot of time modifying the "modern" look to where it didn't annoy me.

I'd think asking for an updated Linux version is a waste of words. L&L is already getting enough hell over their late Windows version 3, and the Linux user base is much smaller.

Didn't get it, but if they should change one thing it's to turn off the thousands of hot-key combinations almost no one will ever use. The amount of times I get fumbled fingered and accidentally activate one of the hot keys by pressing two keys at once when I'm typing too fast and leaving me to wonder how I get back to where I was is beyond counting.

I got it; wow, is it thorough.  Since I use Windows, I was excited to see that there was a beta version of 3.0 for Windows--from, it turns out, 2017.  I did not snag a copy to try.

I know I don't use that many features:  I like shoving around the little cards on the corkboard for building my plots, and I've got the notes for the world-building.  And occasionally I've outlined a scene or written part of it.  Maybe if I had a bigger screen or a more potent computer (I like netbooks, which are light to carry), I'd use it for the actual writing, but since I prefer to write in plain text (old habit) and make the ebooks by hand (another old habit), maybe not.

I pointed out on the survey how much I appreciate that files are saved in .txt or .rtf, which I can use in just about any program and which I'll be able to read 30 years from now.
