Typing after / only tries a search: Esc, or back, puts the list back as it was before the line opened, and only Enter keeps the results. In the list, Esc lets go of one thing at a time, so after the document it clears the search, with the cursor kept on the row it was on; back on a phone does the same before going up a folder. A late answer to an older search no longer lands over a newer one, and closing the last document puts the folder back in the address bar.

# Files and search
|
|
|
|
## Files
|
|
|
|
A file is a node like a document, only with bytes instead of text. It sits in a
|
|
folder beside the notes about it, or belongs to a document, shows its size in
|
|
the list, and `Enter` opens it.
|
|
|
|
A document's own files are the ones pasted or dropped into it while writing,
|
|
and the ones `:upload` puts in while reading it. They move, seal, go to the
|
|
trash and come back with the document. A document with files says `+2` in the
|
|
list; `za` folds them open under it, and `:info files` lists them too. With
|
|
the cursor among them, `p` drops files picked up elsewhere in.
|
|
|
|
Put files in:
|
|
|
|
- drop them onto the list;
|
|
- `:upload` picks files for the folder you are in, or for the document you
|
|
are reading;
|
|
- `:import` uploads a whole folder, and `:import zip` a zip
|
|
(see [Not losing things](Not-Losing-Things.md#import));
|
|
- copy them in over the [SFTP mount](SFTP.md).
|
|
|
|
Each upload is written to disk as it arrives, never held in memory, so the only
|
|
limit is `WORKSPACE_MAX_UPLOAD_MB` (1024 by default) per request.
|
|
|
|
### What opens in place
|
|
|
|
- images, video and audio;
|
|
- PDFs, in the browser's own viewer;
|
|
- text and source code of any kind, with line numbers, up to the first
|
|
256 KiB;
|
|
- markdown, rendered, with `:source` to see it as written;
|
|
- CSV and TSV, as a table of the first 500 rows;
|
|
- certificates, keys and keystores (`.pem`, `.crt`, `.cer`, `.der`, `.csr`,
|
|
`.key`, `.p8`, `.p12`, `.pfx`), read on the server.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A certificate shows its subject, issuer, validity, key, names, usage and
|
|
fingerprints, and which key belongs to which certificate. A `.p12` or an
|
|
encrypted key asks for its password, which opens it for that one look and is
|
|
not stored. Nothing of a private key is sent back but its algorithm and size.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Anything else is a download: `:export` fetches the file under the
|
|
cursor, and `gx` opens it in a browser tab of its own. Files are renamed with
|
|
`:name`, moved like documents, and deleted into the trash with `x`.
|
|
|
|
Uploads are only ever served as types that cannot run in the browser. An HTML
|
|
file or an SVG, for example, downloads instead of opening.
|
|
|
|
## Search
|
|
|
|
`/` searches the space you are in; `Tab` on the line takes the search to every
|
|
space, and back (`:search!` does the same from the command line).
|
|
|
|
Results appear as you type, ranked by relevance, each with the space and
|
|
folder it is in. `Ctrl-N` / `Ctrl-P` walk them without leaving the
|
|
line, and `Enter` opens the one lit and keeps the results in the list. `Esc`
|
|
on the line gives the search up, and the list is as it was before `/`.
|
|
Afterwards `n` and `N` open the next and previous result beside the list, and
|
|
`Esc` in the list (or `:noh`, or back on a phone) clears the search.
|
|
|
|
Cards are searched too, by their title, description and checklist steps. They
|
|
are listed after the documents, under `cards`, with the board and list each is
|
|
on. `Enter` on one turns it over on its board; `n` and `N` only light it up.
|
|
Notes on the scratchpad come last, under `notes`, whatever space is searched;
|
|
`Enter` lowers the scratchpad at the note.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each word you type matches the start of a word, so `inge` finds "ingest". All
|
|
the words must be there. Punctuation is ignored, so a search of nothing else
|
|
finds nothing.
|
|
|
|
### Inside files
|
|
|
|
A search reads the text files in the tree as well as the documents. A file
|
|
counts as text by its type, or when its first 8 KiB read as UTF-8 with no NUL
|
|
byte, which covers `.log` files and Makefiles. The first 256 KiB of each is
|
|
indexed, the same part the viewer shows. A file found by its text shows the
|
|
words around the match under its name, with the words that matched lit.
|
|
|
|
The text is read when a file arrives, by upload, import or the SFTP mount,
|
|
again when its bytes change, and at start for any file still missing it. PDFs,
|
|
office documents and images are not read.
|
|
|
|
A sealed file is never indexed; see [The vault](Vault.md). Sealing a file drops
|
|
its text in the same step, and decrypting it reads it again.
