A `!` now means force or everything and nothing else (`:w!`, `:search!`, `:export!`, `:logout!`). A command that did a second thing behind its bang takes a word for it instead: `:space new|name|rm`, `:list name|rm`, `:task [add]|edit`, `:upload seal`, `:import zip [/]`. `:card` while reading a document makes a card about it, so `:card!` is gone. Merged: `:export` downloads what has focus, a file as it is or a document as markdown (`:download` folded in); `:share [off|new]` replaces `:unshare` and `:link`, and the list's `s` and `y` give way to it and the info sheet; `:noh` replaces `:clear`; `:vault [unlock|lock|passwd]` replaces `:unlock`, `:lock` and `:passwd`; Esc in the list puts down what `m` picked up before it closes the document, replacing `:unmark`. The old spellings run as their new lines for one release through a table in commands.ts; help and Tab leave them out, and the wiki lists them. A settings sheet (`,` or `:settings`) holds the options, the vault, the backup, the signed-in browsers, ssh keys and capture tokens. Each row runs the command a line would. Bare `:set`, `:vault`, `:backup`, `:sessions`, `:sshkey` and `:token` open it at their part. `?` shows the keys and commands to start with, flagged in the keymap and the command table; a second `?` (or `:help all`) shows all of them, and a filter always searches all of them. Help rows are keyed by key and description, as two contexts can share a label.

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;
:uploadpicks files for the folder you are in, or for the document you are reading;:importuploads a whole folder, and:import zipa zip (see Not losing things);- copy them in over the SFTP mount.
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
:sourceto 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
| key | searches |
|---|---|
/ |
the space you are in |
Ctrl-P |
every space |
Results appear as you type, ranked by relevance, each with the space and
folder it is in. Tab or Ctrl-N / Ctrl-P walk them without leaving the
line, and Enter opens the one lit. Afterwards n and N open the next and
previous result beside the list, and :noh 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. Sealing a file drops its text in the same step, and decrypting it reads it again.
