Appearance and shortcuts
This page is for the person who writes the notes. It covers the theme, the light and dark choice, and the keyboard.
Light, dark, and system
Open Settings from the More actions menu in the header. The Appearance card offers System, Light, and Dark. System follows your device.
The Theme item in the header menu cycles the same three choices, so you can change it without leaving the note.
Themes
The Appearance card also lists the theme families, each with a swatch that shows how it will look in your current appearance. A family carries a light variant and a dark variant where the palette has both, so your light and dark choice keeps the same family.
A theme change applies at once on this device and is sent to your account in the background, so your other browsers follow it.
To use colours of your own, import a theme file. See Your own theme.
Offline storage
The Available offline card decides what else is kept on this device besides the note text, which is always kept. Two checkboxes control images and older versions. Both use more space, so turn them off on a device with little room.
Keyboard shortcuts
Select Keyboard shortcuts in the header menu, or open the command palette and select Show keyboard shortcuts. The dialog lists every combination and what it does, written for both Windows and Mac keyboards. It is built from the same table the application binds its keys from, so it is always current.
Three keys are worth knowing before you open it.
- Ctrl + P or Cmd + P opens the command palette, which searches your notes and runs the common actions.
- Ctrl + K or Cmd + K inserts a link in the note.
- Ctrl + S or Cmd + S saves.
- Ctrl + F or Cmd + F finds text inside the note you have open.
Installing the application
The application ships a web manifest, so a browser that supports installed web applications offers its own install control, usually in the address bar. There is no install button inside the application.
