Full changelog
ZenNotes v1.0.3 focuses on app controls, discoverability, Linux packaging polish, and a tighter day-to-day keyboard workflow.
Highlights
- Added browser-style app zoom with
Cmd/Ctrl +,Cmd/Ctrl -, andCmd/Ctrl 0. - Zoom now applies across the full app surface, including editor, preview, split mode, modals, and floating windows, and persists across relaunches.
- Added a native
Helpmenu with direct links to the ZenNotes website, Discord, GitHub repo, latest release, and issue tracker. - Added matching command palette actions for app links and
Check for Updates…, so the same flows are reachable from the keyboard. Cmd/Ctrl + Wnow closes floating note windows directly.
Linux and Packaging
- Improved Linux app packaging with explicit icon assets for desktop environments.
- Added packaged runtime icon resources so installed Linux builds show the proper app icon.
- Hardened the Debian post-install step so
chrome-sandboxpermissions are fixed when needed without breaking installs if the path is absent.
Help and UI Polish
- Expanded the in-app Help page into a clearer manual with better onboarding and reference structure.
- Fixed sidebar interaction polish, including the selected-row blink on click.
- Improved general app discoverability around menu actions and update flows.
