Awesome app! Going to dive in and explore a bit more later when I have some time. Can you comment on any portals or forums in which requests for features can be made?

TLDR: do you have plans for an interface to implement your own interactions like in VSCode/Emacs/Vimscript?

I’ve got a to-do item to implement a software artifact that’s hyper-specific to the keyboard configuration I like when it comes to reading, but this app has so many nice features that I can’t help but wonder if I can fit it to my functionality. I’m a big tweaker when it comes to personal software interaction configuration, and I’m curious if your app has any functionality through which to tweak interactions.

An example of something I’ve always wanted: find the first currently visible paragraph break and move the top line of the immediately following paragraph to the top of the view window (similarly, find the last visible paragraph break, and move the last line of the previous paragraph to the bottom of the viewing window). I have lots of little micro-configurations that I hope to implement, and I’m wondering if there’s a route to bring this functionality to your app. Little things like this help to micro-optimize intensive research sessions. Happy to contribute if it’s that sort of project.

The previously-mentioned interactions could be extended to only apply to a single monitor if the window is sized over multiple monitors. I have lots of ideas, and would love to discuss the prospects of accepting community requests and feedback concerning these sorts of personal settings.
