snap indicator

There is now an alternative to the Crosshair,
which is called Spiderweb (for lack of a different name).
This is useful if you work with orthogonal lines a lot
and don't want the crosshair hiding the preview.

You can also change the color of the snap indicator now.
This is useful if you use a white background (or if you just want a different color).

window activation

When a sub-window (drawing) is closed the last active sub-window will be re-activated.

tabs

Tabs are now movable by dragging and dropping.

There is a new option in Application preferences → Defaults
to start in tab mode.

modify tools and selection

You can once again activate a modify tool
then select some objects,
then press Enter,
and then continue.

Something new is that you can use XButton1 instead of Enter.

entering commands

XButton1 will also act like Enter for the command line.

xbutton1

Xbutton1 is a side button on a PC mouse (usually for going back in a web browser).
I don't know if mice for Mac have what is considered an Xbutton1.
There are other options new in Qt5 we can try (Qt::BackButton).
The use of this button is experimental and might change.

option to remove scrollbars

You can now remove the scrollbars in Application Preferences.
Removing them significantly improves panning performance. :-]
More investigation could lead to improved performance with scrollbars.

selection

There is now a select toolbar, and category in the category toolbar.
