Tidy Glyph: Small Changes, Bigger Usability

Glyph works flawlessly on Ubuntu 25.10 - but a few tweaks could turn a good editor into a great one. Right now, the minimalist title bar strips away familiar controls - no minimize, no Quit, no menu on right-click. That might feel sleek, but it leaves new users guessing. Here is the deal: dash the buttons, let users quit with a simple dock icon click. Zooming in with Ctrl+Shift++ is smart, but the preview pane refuses pinch or scroll zoom - despite keyboard shortcuts working perfectly. That disconnect frustrates. Without auto-save, every save feels like a minefield; adding it would smooth daily flow. And though no preference pane exists for font size, DOCX export remains a hidden gem - preserving math formulas beautifully in exported docs. Behind this: users crave control without clutter. Not all simplicity is better - some polish just feels right. Are we giving people tools they’ll actually use, or just what looks cool?
