Forced Sync
I think there should be a way, even with Shaxpir 4: Free, to force Shaxpir to update the current sync, as long as you are online.

We need to have an auto-save for the work we do everyday. I've just lost 50% of my work because my PC crashed. That's frustrating.
Auto-save constantly

World building Tool
I'm a new user to Shaxpir and I think it's great. But I think for all of the fantasy writers out there myself included you could add a world building tool in the future. I'm using Notebook ai and have considered using others but I don't want to have different accounts for using different tools. I think it would be great to use one thing that has everything a writer needs.

HTML editor
Since Shaxpir doesn't have a built-in timeline along with many other such features I thought it'd be nifty to have the ability to use html in notes, that way I'd be able to script my own timeline and I'm sure many others would find a use for it

Ability to Organize Connections
Is it just me or can one not arrange connections once they are established on a page? Each idea/article/short story, etc. has several connections and after a while I wanted to standardize the way the connections were listed but I was not able to move them up or down to list them the way I wanted to see them.

Auto correct
I use auto correct as a tool to streamline my writing by creating my own "corrections". For example, BWH automatically becomes Blackwood House; BM becomes British Museum, and Kth becomes Katherine, the name of one of my main characters. It's amazing how much time and effort it saves me when typing in Word.

Be Able to Right Click and Select Menu Options (Such as Delete, Revert, Etc...)
I keep wanting to default right click on parts or chapters or things I do no longer want, or want to revert to an earlier state, and It keeps jolting me out of the experience because I can't do that

Select Text and be able to scroll up or down just by moving the cursor
In Microsoft Word, Pages, Open Office, and new software like Wavemaker etc..., you can select text and move it up or down, moving the page with you and allowing you to highlight more text that just what is visible. It's very frustrating to not have that feature and honestly, being unable to easily copy and past will probably make me move away from Shaxpir until it's fixed!

A Tutorial/Guide
Shaxpir looks really neat, but it's a lot to jump into right away. Scrivener has an extensive tutorial to get user acclimated to the different parts and how to fit them together. Maybe Shaxpir should have something similar.

Proper handling of Em and En dash, Ellipses.
Please add the above so that I don't have to paste in Google docs to get the em dash, then paste back into Shaxpir.

British English.
Add British English as an option. Or at least the option to add words so I can stop the underlines below BE words without having to turn off the spell-checker completely.
I really love this application, and this is the one thing that doesn't work for me.

Shaxpir in french ?
Hi ! I'm a french author and just fell in love with Shaxpir ! But I'm quite frustrated I can't use all those beautiful linguistics tools in my language...
Would it be possible to add french on Shaxpir ?

I'd like to have Shaxpir in Spanish
I would be really happy to have this program in the language I write in. It'd be even more useful and I'd be able to use all the features to their 100%

1 & 2-way Connections
2 way connections. Connecting A to B will also connect B to A. Maybe a setting that user can choose between to be able to do both 1 way or 2 way connections.

Remember Password
Allow setting to "Remember Me" on on individual machine, so you don't have to re-type password every time you fire up the software.

Please inetegrate with prowriting aid, as a a plug in, or allow prowriting aid to work with Shaxpir files, like it does with scivenver and word. Thank you.

Find and Replace
After a few chapters, I decided the name I chose for my MC didn't fit her as well as something else, but there's no find and replace to change all the previous versions of her name. Will have to do it afterwards.
