Preferences revamp, preview fonts, bug fixes

Preferences

The preferences UI has gotten a little overhaul

The preferences user interface has been split into multiple sections instead of one long list of settings.
The automatic names used for the accent colors in the preference panels have been replaced with a subset of the XKCD color survey colors
Color and font preset pickers have been replaced with dropdown selectors

A font selector has been added in preferences for the preview window font.

All the fonts in the editor are available, as well as the default font “Sorts Mill Goudy”, and any of your own installed fonts.

Deepdwn will now periodically check for updates and alert you when a new version is available. You can disable update checking in preferences.

This update fixes inconsistencies with tab and space indentation.

When pressing Tab:

if text in one or more lines was selected, or when using the indent line shortcut keys, two spaces would be inserted at beginning of the line
if no text was selected, a real tab character was inserted instead

This leads to documents with a mix of tabs and spaces.

With 0.22.0, the Tab key will now insert a soft tab, either one or two spaces depending on alignment.

A future update will add a setting for tabs vs spaces, as well as the tab size.
