There is an issue involving Windows 11 and desktop touchscreen devices where Windows switches the device into tablet mode, removing the availability and responsiveness of Capacities interface hover icons. See this bug report: https://capacities.io/feedback/p/invisible-interface-icons . Microsoft has removed the ability to disable this automatic switch to tablet mode, and this makes the Capacities app very much more difficult to use on these devices. To address this, would it be possible to provide a Capacities setting to override its natural response to tablet mode and stay in desktop mode? It seems this affects many people, and for me personally, it is forcing me to turn away from Capacities. This is particularly painful because I have been working on setting up Capacities as a platform for my work with clients and students, with the intention of making it central to our work together, potentially bringing many new customers to the app. I'm realizing that, despite my ability in most cases to work around this limitation, I must hold back on expecting others to have to do that as well. I have no idea whether this is a straightforward solution, easy to implement, but if so, please consider it. At least for now, until Microsoft wakes up and fixes this issue.

When grouping query results, headings are shown even if there's no results. These can be removed manually, but it would be a useful addition to the feature to be able to show headings only when there are results with that property.

Hi! I'm not sure if it's a bug or by design, but when editing text (with no popups or anything else on screen), pressing the Escape key selects the current block (like triple-clicking). Pressing it multiple times does nothing else. This is a bit odd. Typically, Esc is used to exit the current view. When editing text in Capacities, I would expect it to close the current document and return to the card view. I'm running the native app, version 1.48.7 (1.48.7) on MacOS 15.5

When using DEL at the end of a line/block preceding one which has indented "children", the following line itself is added to the preceding block as expected, but ALL the children are deleted without warning. EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR: pressing DEL once at the end of a block should bring ALL content in the following block into the present block, either bringing the children with it, or leaving them behind, but definitely NOT deleting them! (Current Windows Capacities app, Windows 11 current version)

The web clipper is a great feature for saving sources, but I often lose my notes when I get distracted or accidentally click away from the open tab before hitting save. It would be super helpful to have an auto-save feature or at least preserve any text in the notes field until the user either saves or closes the popup window.

I'd love to be able to read the full description of a note in the card view. Seems like the most useful place for descriptions but they are not useful when truncated. Also, as a sub-point on descriptions, in the actual note view the description is a larger font than the actual note. This puts emphasis on the description over the note text. Would like to see the description at least two points smaller and a darker grey to reduce emphasis as well as the visual onslaught when opening a note. Thanks! :)

When I use "+New" inside an object type dashboard, the corresponding object type should appear at the top of the list – currently I have to search for it every time.

Please make it easier to move the Capacities window around on the Mac. I keep trying to move it with my mouse pointer and unlike every other Mac app, the Capacities app refuses to move around easily unless I grab it from a very specific place in the window. Can you please just make this easier to handle? It's turning into a major annoyance in day-to-day use of the app. Thank you, Neil

I was excited to read the line, "We’ve made substantial improvements here as well," under the Simple Tables section, but I was quickly disappointed to find that the changes I’d hoped for weren’t included. I hope this feature can be implemented soon, ideally without waiting for the next announcement. Please fix to copy and paste the whole row Additionally, I’d like to share a suggestion that might be a personal preference: I’d love the ability to edit a cell’s value directly upon selecting it, rather than having to click into it first. For example, selecting a cell would allow me to immediately replace its entire value, streamlining the process. Second, it would be great to easily select cells using keyboard shortcuts, making navigation and editing more efficient.

The links are working in Apple preview but both on Capacities standalone and webapp they are not working - meaning they are not broken, the app is not registrering them as a link. This makes the pdfs almost useless in study with lots of links to sources and so on.
