Keyboard shortcuts

The Note Tree comes with multiple keyboard shortcuts to make editing faster:

• ← to collapse a note with children, or → to expand it.
• ← on a note with no children to navigate to its parent.

Opening notes

• Click to open the note in the current tab.
• Ctrl+Click or Middle click to open the note in a new tab.
• Ctrl+Right click to open the note in Quick edit.

Clipboard management

• Ctrl+C to copy one or more notes based on selection (see Cloning Notes).
• Ctrl+X to cut one or more notes (for moving them).
• Ctrl+V to paste them somewhere (which results in a copy or move based on the shortcut used).

Moving notes

• Ctrl + ↑ , Ctrl + ↓ - move note up/down in the note list.
• Ctrl + ← - move note up in the note tree.
• Ctrl+→ - move note down in the note tree.
• Del - deletes note and optionally its subtree (asked in the dialog).
