Arc’s Settings, Zap and Easels

Settings is Arc 1.172’s window now: 684 × 650 pt, with Arc’s tabs in a toolbar in Arc’s order, opening on the first tab every time. That tab carries your first name, as Arc’s Account tab does, with a member card, sync and Share Cra with a Friend. Max has Arc’s Turn On All, Shortcuts finds a shortcut by its keys, and Advanced and Links gain the rows Arc had and Cra didn’t: Show full URL, More Settings…, Reset Translated-site Prompts and ⌥⌘-click opens a Little Window (off by default, since ⌘⌥-click opens Split View). ⌘W closes Settings, not the tab behind it.

Zap works as in Arc 1.172.2: a click asks whether to zap this element or all related ones, and each zap becomes a cell on a shelf under the page. Point at a cell to see what it hid, click it to bring it back.

Shapes come in Arc’s eleven colours with its colour picker, a click with the rectangle or ellipse tool places one, and Arc’s menus, alignment guides, undo and redo are in. A pasted or dropped address becomes Arc’s link card, and a capture can show the live website, updated every second.

Share Folder… on a sidebar folder copies a crabrowser.app link anyone can open, in any browser, with every tab in it; Arc’s “Send this Folder to anyone” warning asks first.

Pick a few tabs with ⌘ or ⇧ and right-click: the menu is Arc’s current one, with Copy Links, Share N Items…, Move to and New Folder with N Items.

A site that asks for a permission (your local network, camera, microphone, notifications) asks in Arc’s small card over the page’s top left corner, and the rest of the window stays usable.

Arc’s scrubber runs along the bottom of the Picture in Picture window, and a drag seeks, slower the higher the pointer goes. A double click on the video takes you back to its tab.

A Peek opened from a favorite puts the page’s icon on the tile’s corner, as Arc does, and the Peek’s buttons rise under the pointer and give under a press; ⌘W and ⌘O press theirs too.

Typing dark mode or light mode in the command bar turns the whole browser, sidebar and all, not only its pages, as in Arc.

A click on the link glyph in the toolbar copies the address and turns into a checkmark for a moment, as in Arc.

View ▸ Expand Current Split gives the focused pane the window and keeps the others at Arc’s 220 pt; drag or double-click the divider to bring them back.
