### Search across all buffers
A new global search function has been added. Use it to find text across all buffers in the library. The default
key binding to open up the global search is `Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + F`.
### Archive Scratch functionality
A new archive action has been added for the default Scratch buffer. It can be accessed from the Scratch buffer's
context (right click) menu. It moves the content of Scratch into a new buffer buffer and starts a fresh Scratch buffer.
For performance reasons it's recommended to use this feature when the Scratch buffer grows really large (e.g. MBs).
### Other changes
- Persist the search query between different buffers, and between restarts
- Add a setting for automatically installing new updates (on by default)
- Add version
