With a new QT version on our Windows build server we run into the issue, that the nightly installer does not support Windows XP now.
<br/>See <a href="https://forum.librecad.org/Nightly-198-doesn-t-start-tp5718949.html" target="_top" rel="nofollow" link="external">https://forum.librecad.org/Nightly-198-doesn-t-start-tp5718949.html</a> for this issue.
<br/><br/>Please let us know if you still use Windows XP by your vote.
<br/>If you want to say more about this, please reply to the thread linked above.

In 2.2.0-alpha-24+ you can use space-bar to accept commands. <img class='smiley' src='/images/smiley/smiley_cool.gif' /><br/>No need to erect any statues in my honor... ;D
<br/><br/>The cal command now toggles the Calculator mode.
<br/>After toggling this mode on
<br/>input will be considered a mathematical expression
<br/>until the cal command is used again.

<br/>this is intended to help with placing dimensions.

I changed the default from lime (00ff00) to springgreen (00ff7f),
<br/>because it's less intense / I prefer it.
<br/><br/>I'll also offer lightskyblue and maybe aquamarine.

agreed, much too dark

<br/>the best (was) is your bluesky

I'm curious: what would you choose for the icon color?

<br/>and will offer a few different colors for the release of 2.1.0.
<br/><br/>Anyone that can build LibreCAD from source

<br/>Just loop through the folder and do a string replacement of #00ff7f

<a href="http://wiki.librecad.org/index.php/Calculator" target="_top" rel="nofollow" link="external">http://wiki.librecad.org/index.php/Calculator</a><br/><br/>I'm asking because it requires a 'space' character,
<br/>which means we can't use the space bar to submit a command.
<br/>This is unfortunate, especially for people coming from Autocad.
<br/><br/>The idea I'm inclined toward is a separate input/widget for math,
<br/>with an automatic or quick copy feature.
<br/><br/>It all depends on how people want to use it.

Agreed, voice recognition is an art you should leave to others, but don't wait for Qt
<br/>and its platform specific headaches, suffice to use the voice commands already available
<br/>on smartphones. For Siri or Utter, learning 40 'words' with 100% hits will probably
<br/>be a less than half hour exercice.
<br/>Putting a phone in the shirtpocket has an advantage: upward oriented, the microphone
<br/>handles commands spoken in a low almost whispered voice (it should be a light & cheap
<br/>model, no camera, no large screen).
<br/><br/>Writing a dormant app able to convert 40 commands into 40 LibreCad encoded messages
<br/>sent through the phone WiFi Tx should not take more than a night for geeks like you ;-)

I would love to add that... I have researched it before.
<br/>Implementing voice recognition would mean another significant dependency,
<br/>which needs to be cross-platform.
<br/>It's a big job; and speech recognition usually needs to sample how you speak.
<br/>That means some interface needs to be created for that analysis.
<br/><br/>The bad news is that this probably won't be added anytime soon.
<br/>The good news is that Qt (which is what we use) might provide speech recognition in the future.

Working on a MacBook Air, I exclusively use the <b>trackpad</b>.
<br/><br/>I know you already have a sleepless todo list for the 2-1-x solstice version,
<br/>but may I suggest you add ''voice command' to your device list ;-)
<br/>Recognizing an action already selected in your action menus
<br/>should be an easy task for the likes of Siri. This would save a zillion clicks!.
