Macworld Install the April 2024 iWork update and you’ll gain access to a “new” feature that’s decades old: noncontiguous text selection. Put simply, it means you can select text that doesn’t flow continuously from one letter to the next. This lets you select multiple areas of text for manual formatting or character styles all at once instead of one at a time. (Apple doesn’t let you use Find & Replace to select everything that matches the Find field, however.) To make a noncontiguous selection: Start by selecting any text in Pages, Numbers, or Keynote. Hold down the Command key. Select additional ranges: drag for a select, double-click to add words, or triple-click to add paragraphs. You can remove text from the selection by dragging or Shift-dragging while keeping Command held down. With a noncontiguous selection, all the normal formatting options are available in the Format sidebar (View > Inspector > Format). After making a noncontiguous text selection, I set the selected text to a different type weight.

I can’t find the earliest citation of noncontiguous text selection, but Nisus Writer–still in production today–was promoting this special feature in an ad in MacUser magazine back in 1991. Years before that, this kind of selection was also available with lots of keystrokes in pre-graphical-user-interface word processors.

AltStore PAL has become one of the first alternative app marketplaces to launch in the European Union. Developed by Riley Testut, AltStore PAL is marketed as an open-source project designed to distribute apps from independent developers. MacRumors reports: At launch, it features two apps, including Testut's Delta game emulator and clipboard manager app Clip. Delta is also being simultaneously released in the App Store outside of the European Union, but it looks like EU customers will need to download it from AltStore. Testut says that once AltStore PAL is "running smoothly," third-party app developers will be able to submit their apps for distribution outside of the App Store. The app marketplace is designed to be decentralized with no directory, so developers will need to self-promote their apps and direct users to their websites to install an app through AltStore. Distributing apps through AltStore is free of charge, but it is worth noting that apps that see more than one million first annual installs will need to pay Apple an 0.50 euro Core Technology Fee. App marketplaces have to pay the fee for every install with no free allowance, so AltStore is charged 0.50 euros each time it is installed. To afford the fee, Testut is charging 1.50 euros per year for AltStore PAL access. Testut has been working on AltStore PAL since Apple announced plans to support alternative app marketplaces in iOS 17.4. It is open to all apps, but Testut says that it makes the most sense for "smaller, indie apps that otherwise couldn't exist due to App Store rules." AltStore PAL is equipped with Patreon integration to allow developers to monetize their apps. Developers can offer their apps to just their patrons, and this method of distribution also allows for a sub-1 million cap on those who can subscribe to use an app. Read more of this story at Slashdot.09:00 pmNintendo Switch controller boosts gameplay with RGB lighting and turbo buttons
