Writing notes

Every note is a .md file in your workspace folder. Tsuzuri never adds a database, hidden index or special format: what you see in the editor is exactly what’s on disk.

The editor is modal.

  • NORMAL mode moves around and edits text: h j k l, w / b, dd, yy, p and more.
  • INSERT mode types text. Enter it with i, a, A, I, o or O; leave with Esc.

The mouse works too: click to place the cursor, drag to select (the selection is copied automatically) and scroll any pane with the wheel.

New notes open as unsaved tabs, like a scratch buffer. Switch tabs with [ and ], or Space Tab; close one with Space x. Clicking a tab works as well.

Choose Page in the / block menu, or press a in the explorer, to create a sub-note nested under the current one. Nest notes as deeply as you like. Link to page inserts a link to any existing note.

Action How
Save Ctrl+S or :w
Save under a new name :w name or :saveas
Save and quit :wq or :x
Quit without saving :q!

Quitting with unsaved changes always asks first.

Ctrl+B toggles the file tree and Tab moves focus between panes. In the tree, n creates a note, r renames and d deletes (after asking).
