@acer 

Thank you. It seems that I have to use alias to keep the input compact

@dharr better than nothing. Thanks

@acer 

I compared this too (couting seconds). Its about 6 seconds on a 5y old i7 with SSD. I do not feel a huge difference to older versions. However in the past I was stuggeling with huge delays (about a minute). The delays vanished and today I attribute them to my network configuration (which I cannot influence) and/or older Windows builds. 

I also remember other users ( Anthrazit ?) reporting delayed startup which could be resolved by turning off the startup page (Welcome page start.mw) if I remember correctly.

PS. from Maple.ini: Length of Startup in ms=7757 & Length of Startup in ms=9850 with Maple Screen Reader and startup page

I am comparing versions 2024 and 2025 side by side with CodeTools:-Usage on a PC with 32Gb. So far I have not seen a degradation. 2025 seems to be a notch faster.

Edit: this comparision does not cover GUI related performance (only kernel and library)

I miss the "recompute section!" as well.

Are you refering to this help page: ?worksheet,documenting,tabkey

(The following never worked for me

Indentation and the Tab Key
The Tab key can be used to indent content in Text mode and in 1-D Math. To indent, ensure Tab Navigation is not selected.)

The format menu on my Windows 10 system system does not have an entry Tab settings

Which OS are you running?

I run Maple 2025 on 4k under Windows 10 and it works so far without "scaling issues" (it did not always work in previous versions)

Can you send screen shots?

@dharr 

@acer 

It's the same with the legacy GUI.

P.S.: I also prefer the former worksheet opening behaviour

The Physics project and the swift deployment of updates are a key assets that distinguish Maple.

It's important that this great contribution continues.

I tought you might be using Linux because the file dialouges looked different in you tutorial to what I have.

That's how it looks like on my installation when I type the keys "f(x)/g(x)"

I have to migrate to Windows 11 and will post here if I can reproduce the direct_approach.

If we both use the same build

then the OS and/or the hardware play a role in GUI behaviour.

@Scot Gould 

Nice tutorial! I have tried to reproduce g(x)/h(x) on Windows 10

but can't get it. Do you use Linux? I don't have bronze slider bars either.

@acer 

inert was the first search term I tried. I also tried exact phrases "%+" and "%diff". The later might have worked in the online help system which is still offline.

Thank you listing all what's available!

@sursumCorda 

@dharr 

Thank you. That is helpfull.

I have learned in the meantime that "Linux GUI apps" that use X11 or Wayland windowing system can run under WSLg which is an extension for graphic applications.

The question is now wheather a graphic desktop UI is needed in addition and wheather Maple is compatible with this windowings systems. If not virtualbox or the like are left as options.

@Scot Gould 

I did not noticed this yet. I tried x/x+1 and get

I have to make backspace and left arrow to finish the denominator. That's two steps backwards. Kind of a flowreversal.
I hope there will be an improvement for /.

^ and __ are better the new way, IMO
