Highlights
This release is all about the writing experience. Inkwell now understands the shape of a screenplay as you type: it suggests character names and locations before you finish typing them, formats scene headings and transitions for you, and lays out every element at the spacing the industry expects. Add a smarter Tab key and a meaningfully faster editor, and the page just gets out of your way.New
- Autocomplete as you type. Start a character cue, scene heading, or wryline and Inkwell offers the rest in a floating glass list. It completes character names already in your script, locations and times of day in scene headings (
INT. KIT…→KITCHEN,… - N→NIGHT), and the usual extensions — (V.O.), (O.S.), (CONT’D), (MORE). Use ↑/↓ to choose and Tab or Return to accept; Esc dismisses. It stays quiet until you’ve typed a few characters, so it never gets in your way. - Smart Tab for parentheticals. Tab onto an empty dialogue line and Inkwell drops in
()with the cursor already between the parentheses, ready for the wryline. Changed your mind? Tab again on the empty()and it clears itself. - (CONT’D) handled for you. When the same character speaks twice in a row across a break, Inkwell adds the
(CONT'D)tag automatically. - See the element you’re on. When you cycle a line’s type with Tab, a small label flashes up —
SCENE HEADING,ACTION,CHARACTER— so you always know what you just changed it to, even as the text shifts.
Improved
- Auto-formatting that matches the rules. Scene headings and transitions now uppercase themselves as you type — no more shouting at the caps-lock key.
- Industry-standard spacing. Dialogue, parentheticals, and character cues now sit at the exact margins Final Draft and the WGA use, so a page in Inkwell looks like a page everywhere else — and your page counts line up.
- Room to breathe. Press Return at the end of a scene heading or a line of dialogue and Inkwell leaves a blank line and lands you on the next element — the rhythm you’d expect, without hitting Return twice.
- Songs stay together. A block of lyrics no longer gets split awkwardly across a page break when it could sit whole on the next page.
- A faster page. The first character of a new paragraph no longer stutters, and pagination now does its work quietly in the background instead of competing with your typing. Long scripts feel noticeably snappier.
Fixed
- Scene headings recognize themselves sooner. Typing just
INT.now promotes the line to a scene heading, and the line no longer flickers as a character cue while you typeINT./EXT.. - Cleaner Quill threads. Deleting a Quill conversation now fully removes it, and an empty thread shows a proper starting state instead of leftover scraps.
