Go To Home Page

New Go To Home Page command (CmdGoToHomePage, command palette) switches to the Home tab. With NoHomeTab = true there is no Home tab, so the command adds one as the first tab; close it with its ✕ (#6228).

Back to where a search started

Starting a search adds a navigation point at the view where it started, so after find-as-you-type and Find Next have moved through the matches, Alt + Left (or Backspace) takes you back there (#6230).

Free Pan

New Toggle Free Pan command (CmdToggleFreePan, command palette) lets you scroll past the page edges by half a window. Any part of a page, such as a corner of a technical drawing, can then be moved to the center of the screen instead of staying at the window edge. Zoom and page placement don’t change; it only adds room to scroll. It’s remembered per document and has no default shortcut (discussions #6224, #6164).

Settings, not options

Menus and dialogs now say “settings”: Settings → Options… is Settings… and its dialog is titled Settings, and Advanced Options… is Advanced Settings…. New Open Advanced Settings File… (CmdOpenSettingsFile, Settings menu, command palette) opens the settings file in your text editor. CmdAdvancedOptions is gone, but a shortcut that uses it still opens Advanced Settings. The command palette lists some commands under a second name: Advanced Settings… also as Advanced Options…, and Browse Files In Folder… also as Navigate Files in Folder….

Setting help in the command palette

In the command palette’s = mode, the description of the selected setting is shown under the list, as in Advanced Settings.

Navigate Files in Folder: Back, Forward, Home, search and editable path

The Navigate Files in Folder window has Back, Forward, Up and Home buttons. Back / Forward (Alt + Left / Alt + Right) go through the folders you visited, Up (Alt + Up, Backspace or the .. entry) goes to the parent folder, and Home lists your drives followed by Explorer’s Quick access folders and files. A search field filters the list as you type (press Ctrl + F, or just start typing). Click the folder path to edit it, or paste a path: Enter goes there, and a file path opens its folder with the file selected (#6232).

Book covers as home page thumbnails

Home page thumbnails use a cover image saved next to the document with the same name (Book.jpg, .jpeg or .png beside Book.epub, the way Calibre saves covers), or else the cover an EPUB declares, instead of a picture of page 1 (#6236).
