Code Blocks

There's a new paragraph type called code. Most notably this will set the text in a monospaced font and add a subtle background.

Code paragraphs also behave a bit differently. By default, pressing Tab at the start of code paragraphs will insert spaces, instead of the normal indentation. You can configure this behaviour in the settings dialog. The code paragraph uses Ctrl+9 as a keyboard shortcut. This meant we had to switch some of the previous paragraph shortcuts. You can find the new shortcuts in the paragraph menu. And of course you can change them in the settings.

This is only a start though. You will soon be able to run some code too, directly withing Lemma. Expect more news about this feature in the next update.

And there's more. We added an overview graph, showing all of your documents at once. You can zoom and scroll it too. We worked on the colors and typography of the sidebar, making it more easy to scan. And we made numerous little tweaks and fixes.
