Alt never reached the app, so the tile keys are Ctrl-h/j/k/l and Ctrl-Shift-h/j/k/l, taken before vim sees them, and h/l walk the tiles while reading. Ctrl-Q lowers the scratchpad from the editor straight into the last note, and raises it back to the document, still writing. The drawer sits in the porthole's opening with a full rim. The board, the agenda, the calendar and a card's back live on a plan screen that S goes to and comes back from, so documents and views never share the screen. The calendar fits its tile instead of scrolling.

The diary
The space with the diary role is a journal. Each document in it is an entry, filed under the day it is about.
T(or:today) opens today's entry, and starts it when there is none.[dand]dstep to the entry before or after the one open, by date.:date 2026-10-01files the open entry under another day.:new 2026-10-01starts an entry for a day that has passed.
Days are counted in WORKSPACE_TIMEZONE, the same as the evening reminder, so
an entry written after midnight on a trip still lands on the right day.
The calendar
C (or :cal) shows the diary a month at a time, on the
plan screen, under the agenda. The month is
fitted into its tile rather than scrolled.

A dot marks a day with an entry. A number says how many when there are more than one.
The day template
When the diary has a templates folder with a document called day in it,
every new entry starts from it: from T, o, the calendar, or a
capture to the diary. For example:
## {{weekday}}
### What happened
### What I am thankful for
See Writing for the placeholders. The templates are not entries: they are not on the calendar and do not count as having written today.
On this day
The agenda ends with what you wrote on the
same day in earlier years. j walks into them and Enter opens one.
The reminder
With mail set up, an evening reminder arrives at WORKSPACE_REMINDER_AT
(20:00 by default) when nothing was written in the diary that day. See
Backup and mail.
