Hey Georg, Rainer —
I just finished a big job using Glyphs and noted down feature ideas / issues that came to mind. I thought I’d share them in their entirety, for good, bad and ugly.
-
Bracketed layers should auto sort to top of the master they belong to, ahead of general layer copies.
-
A third select-all also selects guides as well as anchors.
-
Customisable text-area width per tab.
-
A dropdown triangle In the far right corner of the tabs area for when there are too many.
-
Shift-paste pastes selection to center view.
-
Shift-click-drag selects anchors or guide nodes.
-
Shift-click-drag in text view to more easily select text for transformations, switching master etc.
-
Show distance data when you select a node and a guideline node.
-
Remember print settings per tab.
-
Ability to select multiple sub-layers to delete.
-
Left/right scroll of preview area, notably for 'show all instance’
where it sometimes overflows -
Remember layer states in text view when re-opening a file.
-
CMD-O on a node/selection = zoomed focus on it
-
A find text option in text view for large test strings following a print evaluation
