Re: Future viability of Nisus

…plus the popularity of plain text, minimalist editors… Nisus really outpaces a lot of other writing software because it is spectacularly extensible and adaptable. This is why Nisus will soldier on and continue to grow. Ultimately we writers will need the ability to do many, as yet unknown things w...

Re: clip selection as plain text

Hi there, to add to the great work that dmorgan did, I'm posting a macro that will copy the entire document as plain text to the system clipboard. It will also put in double carriage returns between paragraphs if necessary.

Thanks

Page breaks for chapters.

I don't insert page breaks while I'm writing. For me it's just one more thing to think about while editing text and moving things around. But when I'm done, this macro inserts a page break and three carraiage returns before all Heading 1 styles (which is assumed to be your chapter titles) except for...

Easy Navigator Access

I am forever toggling the navigator panel, especially in full screen mode. This macro opens the Navigator panel to the Table of Contents view, when activated again it changes the view to the Bookmarks view, and finally when activated again it closes the Navigator.

Screenplay Format (radically updated)

This is a huge update to my previous screenplay template from 2013. Most notably, you could write a movie in this template and it would convert to Final Draft or Fade In just fine.

This code has been updated from its original based on Philip's suggestions below. Smart Copy # Copy and save to next empty clip...

This macro lists the first 60 characters from each clipboard in a list and then allows you to click on multiple choices to paste them in your document. If you don't want to paste j...
