I still miss having quick access to an Agenda note. A note in a separate window, floating and pinned to the top, is very minimalistic and really restricts the view on a small screen.
For Agenda, I’d like to see a combination of a drop-down window in the menu bar (like TinyNotepad) and a hidden floating panel at the edge of the screen that I can make visible at any time with the mouse or keyboard (like EdgeMark or SideNotes).
I love the way the EdgeMark window is always ready. Unobtrusive, yet very accessible and close at hand.
The Agenda timeline on the left side could serve the same purpose. It wouldn’t require a click to open or close it, and it could also handle comments, links, and other items that would otherwise create clutter in the regular Agenda window.
That’s why I suggested “popup windows” which by definition are normally closed. Yes after a note is selected it will require a click or keystroke to open for those who don’t consider it clutter. When focus is no longer on the selected note, the popup closes . If a user needs to interact with more than one note a modifier for the keystroke or click could be used and closing one closes all. I see the popup controls for the links and comments as not unlike the formatting popup. No one would want to constantly look at a list of related links, comments, or anything else in the note window. I would however want the ability to see and select items in the project panel for the action I’m working on. Another user recently suggested a tear away event panel which I think was a great suggestion and would be an asset for the comments panel.
Also I wanted to check if you knew of a way to hide/disguise/cloak a numeric string or text and it still be found with find?
There isn’t a way to hide or cloak text like that, no. The closest thing is folding: put the text under a heading (or in a blockquote) and collapse it. The text is hidden from view, but search still finds it.
There is a problem with having something that can be hidden, but still found via search. Obviously that provides a clear way to expose the info.
A more solid way to hide things is using note locking, but it operates on the whole note, and deliberately excludes the note from search unless it is unlocked.
And the “Preformated” is also hard for me to distigusih with body text, that will be great if you can also consider the visual improvement on it.
When taking notes related to “code” those are kind of stopper for me to fully put the content there. Thanks for your consideration
We’ll take it along. Note that preformatted and code have a different monospaced font, and are indented, so usually you can distinguish them from standard body text.
The best solution maybe to ultimately allow people to choose different themes or create their own.
