New in the SumatraPDF [pre-release builds](https://www.sumatrapdfreader.org/prerelease):

## Drag selected text to other apps

Select text in a document, then drag it into another application such as a text editor ([#507](https://github.com/sumatrapdfreader/sumatrapdf/issues/507)).

## Ctrl+click link opens in new tab

`Ctrl + click` on a link inside a PDF opens the target in a new tab instead of navigating in the current one ([#5244](https://github.com/sumatrapdfreader/sumatrapdf/issues/5244)).

## List Printers

New `List Printers` command (`CmdListPrinters`) in the `Ctrl + k` command palette shows the available printers and their details.

## Register Windows preview and search filter from the palette

New command palette commands register or unregister the File Explorer preview handler and the Windows Search filter: `Toggle Windows Previewer` (`CmdToggleWindowsPreviewer`) and `Toggle Windows Search Filter` (`CmdToggleWindowsSearchFilter`).

## Toggle Use Tabs command

New `Toggle Use Tabs` command (`CmdToggleUseTabs`) turns the `UseTabs` setting on or off.

## -log-to-file command-line flag

`-log-to-file <file>` writes the log to a file you choose, like `-log` but with a custom path.

## Themes apply to more of the UI

Theme colors now apply to the menu bar, context menus, the title bar (Windows 11+), minimize/maximize buttons, the overlay scrollbar, the "loading" message and the home page promo message ([#5421](https://github.com/sumatrapdfreader/sumatrapdf/issues/5421)).

## Esc to Exit closes the window

With `EscToExit` on, Esc closes the whole window, not just the current tab ([#5416](https://github.com/sumatrapdfreader/sumatrapdf/issues/5416)).

## Time zone in document dates

Document Properties shows the time zone for creation and modification dates ([#948](https://github.com/sumatrapdfreader/sumatrapdf/issues/948)).

## Warning for invalid shortcuts

SumatraPDF warns you when a custom shortcut in settings is invalid ([#5417](https://github.com/sumatrapdfreader/sumatrapdf/issues/5417)).
