Typewriter mode in I Write Like keeps your cursor vertically centered on the screen as you type, providing a comfortable writing experience: you don’t have to look down at the bottom of the screen while typing. However, it didn’t provide a great experience when you scrolled manually, as the cursor would jump back to the center immediately after you stopped scrolling or when you tried to select something, so you had to turn it off for editing. It’s better now! First of all, it now only recenters the cursor when you type, not when you select or scroll. Secondly, it now smoothly recenters the cursor instead of jumping abruptly, making the experience much more pleasant.

We also fixed a bug in the previously announced Backup all your files in one click feature: since you could have the same filename for multiple unsaved files, which is not possible in the ZIP archive, only one of those files would be included in the archive. This is now fixed by appending a number to the filenames of duplicate files in the ZIP archive. For example, if you have three unsaved files named myfile.txt, they will be named myfile.txt, myfile (1).txt, and myfile (2).txt.

Happy writing!
