SENSE seems to be progressing very nicely. Given the interest here for this tool in the past, I thought I’d post some relevant news, with the usual disclaimer: I have no affiliation with the developer other than being a happy customer.

Of the numerous enhancements the following are particularly noteworthy:

- “Viewpoints”, provide a powerful way of cloning and reorganising parts of a document in a new view, without influencing its original structure; changes in texts in a viewpoint should be directly synced with the relevant part of the document. I note that I have not worked with this myself as yet.

- Sense can effectively be used as a one pane outliner by hiding the content browser; shortcuts to create/manipulate document elements should work normally, so you can focus on the text and build the structure as you go along, see the relevant discussion here http://www.outlinersoftware.com/topics/viewt/3906/0/retrospective-outlining

- Sense should now be more intuitive for users of other word processing software, having implemented several standard navigation/selection shortcuts, like Ctrl+Shift+left/right to select words, and ‘extended selection’ (Steve’s favourite), i.e. double click to select word, triple click to select paragraph.

Since a few days there’s also a forum at http://forum.silvaelm.com/
