Panels

The notes panel

Open it with ⌘K and nova nota. Each panel shows one note, and the notes belong to the canvas.

The panel has no save button: the text goes to disk half a second after you stop typing, and also when the window leaves the screen.

The header

  • The note name: opens the menu with every note in this canvas, most recently touched first. Picking one changes what this window shows.
  • New Note (in the menu and in the button on the right): clears the writing area. The note is born on the first character typed; opening and closing without writing leaves nothing on disk.
  • New Notes Window: opens another panel, so you can keep two notes in sight at once.
  • Rename…: changes the name. Enter and clicking outside confirm, Esc cancels, and an empty name returns the note to its automatic title.
  • Delete: sends the note to the trash. The window then shows the most recently touched note.
  • The name on the right side: appears when the last hand to write there wasn't yours.

A note's name

A note does not need a name. Unnamed, it goes by the first line of its own text, cut at 42 characters, and a note with no text at all shows up as "Nota vazia". That name is how ⌘K finds it: type a note's name and it opens a window on that note. See search and commands.

The trash

  • Trash, in the header menu: appears when something has been deleted, with the count next to it.
  • Restore: returns that note to the list and shows it in the window.
  • Empty the Trash: deletes for good what is inside it.

No voice or agent tool deletes a note.

Who else writes here

Nina, by voice, and the agents of this canvas.

  • A note created by an agent: opens in a panel on your screen, with its name on it.
  • A note that already exists: the agent appends to the end, never rewrites or deletes what was there. It can also rename it.
  • Reading: the agent reads the titles, or the full text of a note you mention.

See the agent uses your lists.

In Settings → Tools, turning off the Notas group removes voice control and changes nothing in the panel.

For what is left to do, instead of text to keep, use the tasks panel.
