![]() ![]() To preview a note, select Preview > Toggle Preview Window. The preview gives you a nicely rendered version of a note. I mentioned previews a few paragraphs ago when talking about nvALT's support for Markdown. Depending on how many notes you have, you may still wind up with a list of notes, but using the search function narrows that list considerably. ![]() To do that, type words that might be in the title or body of your note in the Search or Create box at the top of the nvALT window. There are no folders nor any way to organize your notes other than with tags.īut you can search for notes. SearchingĪs I mentioned a moment ago, nvALT stores notes in a long list. From there, scroll through to find a note. You can sort your notes by their tags by clicking the header or the Tags column. You have a pane either on top or on the left that shows you a list of your notes. This is also fairly up to date, meaning it will work better on recent macOS versions. Then type the tag you want to add to a note-for example, blogging. NValt is, as the name implies, a fork of Notational Velocity that adds MultiMarkdown support. To tag a note, double-click in the Tags column for a note. Why should that be a problem? nvALT doesn't understand the idea of folders (like the ones you use on your computer or in a tool like Dropbox). That keyword makes it easier to find a specific note. Tagging adds one or more keywords to a note. The main ones I want to look at are tagging, searching, and previewing notes. I went looking for the best way to index and access my nvALT notes inside Emacs, and found the very cool Emacs script called Deft that works with Emacs Markdown. Look at his articles about WriteRoom and Notational Velocity, Minimalist Note Taking and Tagging in Digital File Archives. Back in 2010, I forked Notational Velocity to enable preview rendering modes for MultiMarkdown, Markdown and Textile. His constant feedback (and exposure to the interwebs society of NV users) pushed me forward a lot.Ĭonfer how it helps with ubiquitous note taking or look at workflows at GigaOm and The Unofficial Apple Blog. Eddie Smith helped me put new ideas into the app, and without him being disappointed only having regular Markdown available, I wouldn’t have started tinkering with the code.I thank the guys who implemented some sort of markup preview into Notational Velocity first (as far as I know): Steven Frank from Panic Software for his first Markdown-enabled fork and Guillaume-Jean Herbiet, author of the Textile-enabled version-without their work, I would not have started.Kudos go to John Gruber for making Markdown, Fletcher Penney for MultiMarkdown and Dean Allen and the people at Textpattern for Textile respectively.Thanks to Zachary almost go without saying. It all began with Zachary Schneirov developing Notational Velocity and releasing it’s source code.Browse, but do not view PDF and image files, which I sometimes add to my archive as well for references. ![]() These Zettelkasten-Features will be added.
