Add "Set up like Subtitle Edit 4" action (Ctrl/Cmd+4)#11670
Merged
Conversation
One shortcut that makes the new app feel like classic SE 4:
- Imports Multiple Replace rules + keyboard shortcuts from SE 4's
Settings.xml (merge: existing kept, only direct conflicts overwritten).
When no Settings.xml is found, falls back to SE 4 default values.
- Switches theme + toolbar icons to "Classic".
- Applies the SE 4 waveform look from the se4-legacy AudioVisualizer
defaults: classic draw style, GreenYellow waveform on black, red
selected line, lime-green paragraph edges, grey text, grid lines on.
New Se4SettingsXmlReplaceImporter parses the <MultipleSearchAndReplaceGroups>
section of SE 4's Settings.xml (the existing Se4XmlImporter only handled the
stand-alone export shape); it is tolerant of SE 4's naming variants.
Also normalize bare top-row digit shortcut tokens ("4" -> "D4") in
MigrateLegacyOemKeys: Avalonia reports the key as "D4" at dispatch time,
so a literal "4" binding never matched.
Bound to Ctrl+4 (Cmd+4 on macOS) by default; rebindable in the Shortcuts
settings page.

…tweaks; fix waveform edge-click selection - Se4SetupApplier: hide the edit-box Italic button and show the toolbar encoding selector to match SE 4 (scoped to the setup action only). - Classic theme: strip the 1px border from toolbar buttons (toolbar only) so they render flat like SE 4. - SE4 waveform: draw the paragraph end marker red (start stays green) and stop tinting the paragraph background when selected. - Prompt Yes/No before applying the SE 4 setup. - Waveform: only suppress the follow-up Tapped (select/seek) when the pointer actually dragged, so a plain click near a paragraph edge selects it instead of being treated as a no-op resize.

Document the new Ctrl+4 "Set up like Subtitle Edit 4" action (PR SubtitleEdit#11670) in the keyboard shortcuts reference, then fix issues surfaced by a docs review: - index: link the orphaned features/seconv.md page into the nav - ocr: fix broken zoom shortcut cells (Ctrl++ / Ctrl+-) - edit: reconcile collapse/expand prose with table (Ctrl+Shift++ / Ctrl+Shift+-), matching the code default - supported-formats: clarify 380+ count covers text, binary and image formats - shortcuts: remove duplicated key-capture instruction - assa-override-tags: drop mislabeled "n (close B-spline)" drawing command, close alpha example values with trailing &, remove duplicated Notes bullets, fix "See Also" link text - webvtt: clarify WHATWG origin / W3C standardization; drop non-standard "green" cue color class - faq + sync feature pages: standardize menu name on "Synchronization" and "ASSA tools" to match the actual UI Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

What
A single action — Set up like Subtitle Edit 4 — that makes the new app feel like classic SE 4 in one keypress. Bound to Ctrl+4 (⌘+4 on macOS) by default; rebindable in the Shortcuts settings page (category General).
What it does
When invoked it:
%AppData%\Subtitle Edit\Settings.xml, merged into existing categories (skips exact-duplicate rules).Se4ShortcutsImporter), merged (only direct action-conflicts overwritten).If no
Settings.xmlis found (always the case off Windows — SE 4 is Windows-only), it falls back to SE 4 default values: the default keymap is merged in and the theme/waveform are still applied. A summary dialog reports which path was taken and the counts. Everything applies live viaApplySettings()(no restart).Waveform palette (from the
se4-legacyAudioVisualizer.csdefaults)Notable changes
Se4SettingsXmlReplaceImporterparses the<MultipleSearchAndReplaceGroups>section of SE 4'sSettings.xml. The existingSe4XmlImporteronly handled the stand-alone export shape; the new one is tolerant of SE 4's naming variants (Group/MultipleSearchAndReplaceGroup,Enabled/IsActive, etc.).Se4SetupApplierorchestrates the merge + theme/waveform application.MigrateLegacyOemKeysnow normalizes top-row digit tokens ("4"→"D4"). Avalonia reports the top-row 4 asD4at dispatch time, so a literal"4"binding never matched — this self-heals any such persisted/imported binding on load.Tests
Se4SettingsXmlReplaceImporterTestscovers the real SE 4Settings.xmlshape, the naming variants, and invalid/empty input. Full UI test suite green.Notes / possible follow-ups
_paintGridLines = new Pen(Brushes.DarkGray, 0.2)), so it renders DarkGray rather than SE 4's exact#141412. Adding aWaveformGridColorsetting would make it exact.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
