Return to last edit

Post by jabbott »

I Googled but couldn't find an answer--will the new Nisus 2.0 open your document where you last worked on it? Or at least have a keyboard shortcut that takes you to your last edit once the document is open. Thank you.

Yes, Nisus Writer Pro has been saving the selection location inside the file (and restoring it upon reopening the file) for quite some time.

Thanks Martin. I had not tried Nisus in a few years and could not remember if that made it over from Nisus Classic. Oddly Microsoft took this function out of Word 2011. Joe Kissell's review makes me think I should give it another look . . .thank you.

Glad to hear you're taking another look!

One other selection tip: when you're editing/moving about in your file, it's often nice to jump back to your prior selection locations. NWP lets you do that using the "Back" toolbar button or the menu Edit > Select > Previous Selection, or via the default keyboard shortcut Command + [

Is a selection location the same, though, as return to last edit?

Let's say on p 348 I simply type the last sentence of the day. The next morning, when I open the document next, will I go back to p 348? That's what I'm asking.

Yes, you will be back on page 348.

Lanx is correct, you will be returned to the last edit location. The insertion point (flashing i-beam / caret) is really just a special zero-length selection.
