Alignment Guides & Toolbar Polish

Alignment Guides & Spacing

  • Live alignment guides — Horizontal and vertical guides appear when a moving selection lines up with nearby shapes by center or edge

  • Spacing measurements — Point-based distance labels along the active guide for lane-style and grouped diagrams

Toolbar Reorganization

  • File menu — Open, Save, and Export consolidated into a single dropdown
  • Grouped overflow — Show More popover organized into labeled sections (Tools, Style, Arrange, Insert, Canvas, Present, File, Edit)
  • Consistent with Scene Manager — The toolbar no longer shifts when the Scene Manager is open

Whiteboard Polish

  • Escape key safety — Escape cancels in-progress drawing or clears selection, and is a no-op when nothing is active

Settings Quality & Trust

Settings Sidebar Redesign

  • Vertical left sidebar — Settings tabs now live in a persistent left column instead of a top tab strip
  • Full-row click targets — The entire tab row is clickable, not just the label text
  • No blink or jump — Selecting a tab keeps a stable layout across the Settings window

Validation & Live Updates

  • Normalized settings — Stored drawing defaults are clamped to supported ranges before they are loaded
  • Live drawing defaults — Drawing defaults, toolbar placement, and cursor click animation changes apply to the active session
  • Safer shortcut recording — Reserved keys and duplicate assignments are rejected at the recorder

Polish & Branding

  • Stable whiteboard popover — Switching between Blank, Dots, Grid, and Lines no longer closes the Board popover
  • Accurate AI setup copy — Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, and ChatGPT instructions are corrected and shared values stay consistent
  • About branding — The About pane now centers the Lumary Labs LLC logo inside a cleaner card

Keyboard-First Whiteboard Access

Faster Whiteboard Entry

  • Dock icon entry point — Clicking the Dock icon opens the All Boards gallery when no window is visible

  • Board switcher — Press ⌘P to search, filter, and jump between whiteboards
  • Full keyboard navigation — Arrow keys, Return, Escape, and click-outside dismissal work inside both palettes

Settings & Permissions Cleanup

  • Dynamic Settings sizing — The Settings window adapts its size to the selected pane
  • No Input Monitoring prompt — The keystroke display flow was removed so the app no longer asks to receive keystrokes from other applications
