 ## Changes
 
 * `Paste As Reference` works differently now. Depending on whether the clipboard content is a valid URL, `super+ctrl+r` generates a reference on your selection with clipboard content as URL link or link name. 
+* `Insert Footnote` (`alt+shift+6`) now uses selected words (if any) as footnote marker name instead of number.
