I like Agenda. I would really like to see a slim toolbar to show text formatting options, rather than needing to go into menus or right clicking.
+1 for adding a toolbar. Menus become very cumbersome.
Thanks. Heard this a few times. We will discuss it as a possible feature.

hi, I replied to another thread. I need a toolbar. Sometimes, you do not bother visualizing it using markdown. you see the pallette and then think about using it.
Let me give an example:
- You are asked to answer a question <— (no toolbar)
- You are asked to choose an answer to a question <— (toolbar)

Agreed! I LOVE Bear’s menu!!
+++ kind of floating ribbon with basic styling capabilities will be extremely useful
Which menu do you mean? If I use Bear on Mac, there is no styling menu that I see. You just use markdown, which is what we use in Agenda too.
iPhone/iPad menu…
We have an iPhone/iPad menu though. It even got updated recently. Worth checking out. We are pretty happy with the new variant.
Yes. What I’m talking about is a menu on the Mac that shows at the bottom so we don’t have to click the icon to see everything…
The iOS menu is great!
The mac will receive a new menu that will show when clicking the circle in the gutter that works more alike the bar on iOS, we don’t have plans to add a permanent toolbar I’m afraid. The combination of a main menu with keyboard shortcuts and right-click contextual menu, and the above mentioned gutter popover provides enough options that we feel adding the clutter of more buttons etc in the form of a some toolbar is not justified, sorry.
Ah, and on recent mac laptops there’s also the Touch Bar, which works exactly like the iOS keyboard bar.
Thanks for the update. Sounds like something cool is coming!
Bad decision. Toolbar is necessary.
We still don’t believe a toolbar is the way to go, but in Agenda14 we’ll introduce some new possibilities that might help address what you’d otherwise use a toolbar for. Stay tuned!
Of course each product has it’s own style. But, even in this posting tool there is a toolbar that allows me to quickly bold the text or
make a list
-
Your right click menus make me
-
Select the text, right click, choose LISTS and choose a list. If I want to indent the list, I must do all of that over again and choose indented lists and choose indent.
Your app CREATES many more clicks for the sake of deciding against using a tiny bit of space and adding buttons that do these simple tasks.
I simply put the cursor at the start of the line, type “dash space” for a list. To indent, i type “tab”, which works wherever on the line the cursor is.
To create a check list: “open square bracket closed square bracket space”
It’s taken me a while to remember and get the muscle memory for headings. Annoyingly on the UK keyboard you can’t access # directly, it’s “option £”. I’d love to be able to choose another key for this in Agenda options. I’ve set up a keyboard substitution in Mac, but it’s a bit laggy, and doesn’t work for quickly creating 2nd, 3rd level headings ( ## etc) because it requires a space to confirm the substitution.
Update: As promised Agenda 14 introduces an exciting new way to perform so-called Actions by typing short commands that can often be faster and easier than using a toolbar or other form of UI. Best of all, it’s still UI “guided” in that typing a \
kind of triggers a local toolbar that can be filtered down by continuing typing the name of the command. You can see it in action here…
