How it works
Organize and find
Order is added on top of things; nothing is ever moved into a folder to be organised.
Tags
- A tree, not a list. A tag can hold tags, and tagging descends the tree when you want it to.
- A tag on a selection is a highlight in that tag's colour — one gesture, both results.
- A type is the question a tag answers: Domain, Topic, Theme, Space, Context, Activity, Class.
- Typed frames draw a border round a passage and name what it is — Definition, Quote, Formula — and a frame can sit inside a frame.
- Namespaces keep two axes of the same name apart, and are inherited down the tree.
Where things sit
- The bucket — a holding place for references waiting to be pasted, and a history of the ones already used.
- 📌 Pin a pane or a tag and it stays one click away, from the feed as much as the canvas.
- 🧷 Stick a pane to another and the stack follows and aligns as one.
- 🧩 Organize by type lays the whole canvas out by what each pane is.
Ways back to a pane
| Way | Keys | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| The command line | ⌘K | Anything, by name — open, tag, filter, create, export |
| Pane search | Ctrl + Space | A pane whose title you half remember |
| The pane switcher | ⌥ + Tab | The handful you are moving between right now |
| The radial picker | ⌥ + Q, held | The recent ones, without looking away from the mouse |
| Pane history | ⌘Z / ⇧⌘Z | Retracing where you have just been |
| The minimap | — | Seeing the whole canvas and jumping across it |
| The feed filter | ↑ ↓ then Enter | Finding it by when you made it |
| The tag canvas | — | Finding it by what it is about |
The complete list of keys lives in the app, not here: press ? anywhere for the
cheat sheet. It is built from the same list the app obeys, so it cannot disagree with what your keyboard does.
