This will be a series of posts about new features of what we are calling ControlBooth 5.0.

There are some amazing new features that we implemented to make things easier. Our primary goal is to make it easier to participate in topics and find information quickly. And, of course, to have fun! So, let's get into it!

This thread is closed to replies as it is just for showing off new features. We have a discussion going here: https://www.controlbooth.com/threads/welcome-to-controlbooth-5-0.46367/
 
Drag and Drop / Paste attachments.

That's right, just drag and drop files from your computer onto the text editor box and they will be attached (or if it's an image, it will be inserted where your cursor is). This is the #1 requested improvement/annoyance of the old site.

You can also copy an image from anywhere and just paste it in the text editor box.
 
Emoji support. That's right, ControlBooth has entered the modern age. We don't just have smilies anymore, we have the full emoji stack loaded. 🌮 anyone? 🌯 or 🍣 ? (I might be a bit hungry.... 🤷‍♂️ )

You can access them in two way. One, click the smilie face in the text editor, or type a colon and then a word, like flashlight 🔦 and you'll see a popup with suggestions that you can click on to auto-complete the entry.

Enjoy!
 
Bookmarks.

A long-requested features, we are finally able to deliver! You can bookmark pretty much any content you want.

You can then look at your bookmarks from your personal menu in the top right.

One of my most favorite features that people have been asking for for years is a Light Version of the theme.

If you go to the bottom left of the page, there is a toggle

Go ahead and click the toggle. Poof, light theme! Enjoy!
 
ControlBooth 5.0 now includes Keyboard Shortcuts.

These include:
  • m - Opens the user menu
  • , (Comma) - Open the inbox/conversation menu
  • . (Period/full-stop) - Open the alerts menu
  • / (Forward slash) - Open the search menu
  • ⌘+ENTER (Mac) or CTRL+ENTER (Windows) Submit the current form while in a <textarea> element (normally, ENTER will submit any form, but while you're in a <textarea>, the ENTER key simply inserts a new line)
