For those of us who are into efficiency and making the most out of our devices, this is a must! I waited before installing it, as I wanted to ensure I was off the Remarkable beta SW and on a stable release (3.8.2.1965). These features are the BOMB!

Here is a <link> to the tool, and if you need help connecting/installing, just post (as SSH isn’t for everyone). Super crazy cool! Well done!

Thanks,
DaveR

    I looked at the included features and it just looks like a bunch of new swipe gestures? What features do you like so much maybe I’m missing something.

      No, not really but there are a few hidden gems.

      Here is what I use the most:

      As a lefty, I have the toolbar on the right, and always hide it or I hit the X at the top. I can remove the “X” entirely (AWESOME), and a simple gesture allows me to toggle the toolbar panel (see first item below). Here are some other favorites for me:

      ​

      • The toolbar may be opened or closed with a one-finger swipe down (what I stated above)
      • The close icon (x) in the top right corner (right-handed)/left corner (left-handed) has been removed. You can still close the document by swiping one finger down from the top (stated above)
      • Cycle between two recent documents by swiping two fingers up from the bottom of the page.
      • Gesture to swap the last two pen thicknesses (strokes) by swiping one finger down in the top right corner (right-handed)/left corner (left-handed).
      • Gesture to swap the last two colors by swiping one finger up in the top right corner (right-handed)/left corner (left-handed).
      • Gesture to switch between the last two tools: swipe one finger down in the top left corner (right-handed)/right corner (left-handed).
      • Gesture to switch between the writing tool and eraser: swipe one finger up in the top left corner (right-handed)/right corner (left-handed).
      • Additional stroke sizes (0.5, 1.5, 5, 8, 13).
      • The toolbar icon changes from the default open icon to a brush icon.
      • A brand new settings page to configure which hacks should be enabled
      • New notebook name defaults to the current date and time (format: yyyy-mm-dd_hhmmss).

      There are a few more items, but these are great. Couple the close icon removal with the built-in swipe up to close, and I am very efficient.

        I will check this out. I too have to close the toolbar as a lefty. Almost sent the RM2 back because of this but decided to deal with it. This is great.

      I really like the fact that the hacks give a faster access to features (e.g. change of pen in one gesture instead of two clicks) without requiring the toolbar to be visible (which makes it even more like a sheet of paper).

      It may not seem much but in practice it is really appreciable.
