The list is folders first and then by name in every space but the diary, which stays a journal by day; a document's row elsewhere shows when it was last edited. Ctrl-P is a jump by name across every space, served by GET /api/jump: the last word is looked for in the name, the ones before along the path. / is the one full-text search, and Tab on its line takes it to every space and back. A card's notes are made in the folder being browsed when that is in the card's space, and a missing [[link]]'s document beside the one linking to it. o in a space with templates opens the line as :new with them listed.

# Spaces and documents
|
|
|
|
## Spaces
|
|
|
|
A space is a top-level area: `diary`, `work`, `uni`, or whatever you make.
|
|
Each has its own tree of folders, its own board and its own search, so work and
|
|
uni do not get mixed up.
|
|
|
|
- `1` … `9` and `0` switch to a space by its place in the bar; `Tab` and
|
|
`Shift-Tab` step through them.
|
|
- `w` shows every space at once, with what was last written in each. `hjkl`
|
|
move, `Enter` goes there.
|
|
- `:space new <name>` makes a space, `:space name <name>` renames the one you are in,
|
|
and `:space rm` puts it in the trash with everything in it. Two spaces cannot
|
|
share a name, whatever the case.
|
|
- `:set noboard` turns the board off for a space, `:set board` back on.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
One space has the **diary** role. It is the diary by role, not by name: rename
|
|
it and the reminder and the agenda still know which space it is. It cannot be
|
|
deleted. See [The diary](Diary.md).
|
|
|
|
## The tree
|
|
|
|
Inside a space, folders nest to any depth. The list shows the folder you are
|
|
in: folders first, then documents and files by name. The diary is the
|
|
exception: a journal, its entries are newest first and grouped by the day they
|
|
are about, and each shows the time it was written where elsewhere a document
|
|
shows when it was last edited.
|
|
|
|
| key | what it does |
|
|
| --- | --- |
|
|
| `j` / `k`, `gg` / `G` | move, first, last |
|
|
| `l`, `Enter` | open the document or file, or go into the folder |
|
|
| `h` | up one level |
|
|
| `o` | a new document here, straight into insert mode; when the space has [templates](Writing.md#templates), the line offers them first |
|
|
| `O` | a new folder here |
|
|
| `R` | rename what is under the cursor |
|
|
| `x`, `dd` | delete it, into the trash |
|
|
| `u` | bring the last delete back |
|
|
|
|
`:cd <folder>` walks the tree from the command line (`:cd ..` goes up, `:cd /`
|
|
to the root of the space), and `:mkdir <name>` makes a folder.
|
|
|
|
### Moving things
|
|
|
|
- `m` picks up the row under the cursor; `m` again puts it back. `M` picks up
|
|
the whole folder you are in.
|
|
- Walk to another folder, in any space, and press `p` to drop everything picked
|
|
up there.
|
|
- `Shift-1` … `Shift-9` sends what is picked up, or the row under the cursor,
|
|
straight to the root of that space.
|
|
- `:mv <folder>` moves it into a folder here, `:mv ..` up one level, `:mv /`
|
|
to the root.
|
|
- With a mouse, `Ctrl`-click picks a row up and `Shift`-click every row from
|
|
the cursor to it; drag them onto a folder, a crumb in the bar, or a space.
|
|
|
|
A move never breaks a link: every document that links to what moved is
|
|
rewritten to point at its new place. See [Writing](Writing.md#links).
|
|
|
|
## Documents
|
|
|
|
A document is markdown with a name. It has a real address,
|
|
`/n/<space>/<folder>/<slug>`, which the address bar shows and which can be
|
|
linked to from anywhere behind the login.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The line under the title says when it was written and last edited, how many
|
|
words it has, how many documents link to it, and whether it is public. Click it,
|
|
or press `gi`, for the info sheet: the document's headings, its earlier
|
|
versions, the documents that link to it, the cards about it, its files and its
|
|
share link, one part at a time — `Tab` goes to the next. `gO`, `gh`, `gb` and
|
|
`gc` open it at their own part.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the reader:
|
|
|
|
| key | what it does |
|
|
| --- | --- |
|
|
| `j` / `k`, `Ctrl-D` / `Ctrl-U` | scroll a line, or half a page |
|
|
| `]]` / `[[` | the next / previous heading |
|
|
| `gi` | the info sheet |
|
|
| `gO` | the headings as a list to jump to |
|
|
| `zl` / `zh` | scroll a wide table or code block sideways |
|
|
| `za` | fold a document's own files open under it in the list |
|
|
| `F` | a letter over every link and button in view; type it to follow |
|
|
| `gh` | earlier versions |
|
|
| `gb` | the documents that link here |
|
|
| `i`, `a` | edit |
|
|
| `q`, `Esc` | close |
|
|
|
|
`:stats` counts words and lines, `:copy` puts the whole text on the clipboard,
|
|
`:export` downloads it as a `.md` file, and `:date 2026-10-01` changes the day
|
|
it is filed under.
|
|
|
|
A document made with `o` and left with neither a name nor a word in it is
|
|
removed again when you leave it, so abandoned starts do not pile up.
|
|
|
|
## Tiles
|
|
|
|
Several documents can be open at once, each in a tile of its own.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- `L` or `Shift-Enter` on a row opens it in a new tile; `Enter` and `l` open
|
|
it in the focused one.
|
|
- Tiles share the space the way a tiling window manager does: two side by side,
|
|
a third splits the newer one, and so on.
|
|
- `Ctrl-h/j/k/l` moves the focus between tiles, from the editor too, and
|
|
`Ctrl-h` past the leftmost goes back to the list. While reading, `h` and `l`
|
|
do the same. `Ctrl-Shift-h/j/k/l` moves the tile itself.
|
|
- `gt` / `gT` (or `:bn` / `:bp`) cycle through them, `:ls` lists them, and
|
|
`:b <n or name>` focuses one.
|
|
- `q` (or `:close`) closes the focused tile, `:only` every other one, and
|
|
`f` makes the focused tile fill the screen.
|
|
|
|
Opening a document that is already in a tile focuses that tile rather than
|
|
opening it twice. Each tile keeps its own scroll position and editor, and each
|
|
space remembers its tiles. Under 768 pixels wide only the focused tile is
|
|
shown.
