Find and organise

Press ⌘P (Quick open…) and type part of a note’s name. InkDo matches the file name first, then its path. With nothing typed it lists recent notes, then recent folders. ↑↓ choose, ⏎ opens, Esc returns to the text. Typing > switches to the command palette.

The command palette open over a note, listing commands with their shortcuts.

Press ⌘K to search every command by name. Each row shows its shortcut, so the palette teaches the keys. With nothing typed, your recent commands come first. Settings that matter in the moment live here too: Hide Markdown marks, Ghost text, Focus mode, Export as book…, Check for updates….

Press ⇧⌘F (Search folder) and type. A card opens on the right with the matches. ↑↓ move through them, ⏎ opens one and keeps the search open to step on, Esc closes it.

⌘F finds, ⌘G and ⇧⌘G step to the next and previous match, and ⌥⌘F adds replace.

  • ⌃⌘1 opens the Outline, the headings of the note. Drag a heading to move its whole section.
  • ⇧⌘B opens Backlinks, the notes that link to this one.
  • Settings → Editor → Scroll bar can show a heading map along the edge.

InkDo keeps earlier versions of each note on your Mac, in its app data, never in your folder.

  1. Press ⌘Y (File → History).
  2. Pick a version from the list. The right side shows what changed since that version.
  3. Press ⌘⏎ to Restore this version. The text you had is kept first, so you can undo a restore from the list or with ⌘Z.

A version is saved at most every 10 minutes while you write, and always before InkDo rewrites links after a rename, reloads a changed file, or restores. History keeps 30 days and up to 200 versions per note. Notes over 4 MB aren’t kept. History shows the open note only.
