Hey - I was wondering if there was ever going to be a command palette option. I keep forgetting my keyboard shortcuts across all the apps.
For example, in PyCharm I can just hit “shift shift” to open a quick access window that fully controls the app.
There are already a bunch of options for this. We call them actions. You type a back slash and go from there. Text Actions Cheat Sheet
On Mac, you can also bring up a formatting palette using View > Show Formatting Window (it has a shortcut).
I maybe wrong but the actions only act on a single note.
I’m asking about things like expanding or collapsing all notes, jumping between different notes, creating a new window.
I think menus serve this purpose on the Mac. Eg. Note > Expand All.
It’s rare to see a command palette. Sounds more like a windows solution.
Appreciate the feedback!
Thanks Drew - I understand its not on your roadmap but I will say it isn’t rare to see a command palette for keyboard centric workflows and it is very much a Mac thing.
A hand-full of big name examples with some form of quick jump / command palette / etc:
)Again no worries — just a preference to type an intent instead of hunt with a mouse.
Note that we do have some quick entry options, and may expand them in future.
Typing a backslash in a note gives a large number of actions you can apply in the note. I would argue this is very similar to many of the command palettes in other apps.
Don’t forget the markdown shortcuts we support for editing. These are often easier than using a keyboard shortcut or palette. Eg. Type # Title and you have a heading, etc.
There is also File > Open Quickly, which is a fast way to navigate. And most of the lists support type navigation too.
We will think about ways to expand on these with more actions. Thanks for the feedback!
