Extend text selection with Shift + arrows

When text is selected, Shift + arrow keys extend the selection by one character or one line (#5814).

Find results: Home / End

In the floating Find window, Ctrl + Home / Ctrl + End jump to the first / last match (#5797).

Better link handling

Links with file:// URIs now open the file as a local document instead of sending it to the browser. Ctrl + clicking a link to another PDF opens it in a new window. When opening in an external viewer (Acrobat, Foxit, PDF-XChange), the current zoom is passed along, and for Acrobat the scroll position too.

Annotation saving improvements

The save button in the annotations editor now names the file it will overwrite (e.g. “Save changes to foo.pdf”). Save As suggests foo Copy.pdf so you don’t overwrite the original by accident. File attachment annotations now support Embed, which lets you pick a file to embed in the PDF.

Modern File Open dialog

File / Open now uses the modern Windows file dialog, and there is no longer a limit on how many files you can select at once.

DDE Search supports quotes

The DDE Search command now accepts double quotes in the search term, written as "" (two double quotes).
