Shift Editor & Quick Lookup 1.5

When writing, one often refers to various resources such as dictionaries, Wikipedia, Google, and countless websites. Shift was created to streamline the process of writing and referencing, focusing on ease of use and readability. The integrated browser enables users to view content in a personally tailored color scheme and elegant fonts, ensuring a comfortable reading experience whether it's day or night.

With Shift, accessing websites like Wikipedia is simplified as text sizes and colors seamlessly align with your preferences, free from unnecessary distractions. Switching between customizable presets is effortless, with four options accessible directly from the editor interface—requiring just two simple taps.

The MultiMarkdown editor in Shift synchronizes text with an HTML preview that reflects your chosen stylistic preferences. Edit text by simply tapping and preview changes by pinching the screen—a straightforward process.

Shift excels in Markdown proficiency, offering useful shortcuts for creating lists, emphasis, indentation, headings, and more. It intelligently applies markdown to selected content instantly; for instance, italicizing specific words requires selecting them and pressing the italic button—Shift handles the rest seamlessly.

In landscape mode, Shift remains user-friendly and responsive for improved readability in varying orientations. The app effortlessly navigates through your entire Dropbox repository, providing comprehensive access beyond individual folders.

Every time a document is opened in Shift, an automatic backup is generated. Users can easily revert to two previous versions at any time, eliminating concerns about losing work.

The design of Shift prioritizes typography excellence by incorporating three exquisite fonts—Concourse, Equity, and Triplicate by Matthew Butterick from Practical Typography. Despite the curated choices, users retain the freedom to modify text color, background tones, highlight hues, and presentation style. Notably, the keyboard color seamlessly adapts to the selected background, offering a cohesive visual experience.

Shift emphasizes simplicity alongside extensive customization options for a personalized writing environment that caters to individual preferences. For inquiries, visit Shift Writer and access the "support" link at the page's bottom for prompt assistance.
