Additional Note Features

Word and Character Count

The number of words for each note displays in the bottom-right corner of the content area toolbar. Hovering over the word count for each individual note will display the character count of that note. You can toggle the display on or off by selecting the Show Word Count button on the expanded content area menu or the compact toolbar’s drop-down menu.

Search Web from Notes

Select any text in your note and press F4 on your keyboard (or your customized Web Search keyboard shortcut) to open the Web Search dialog box, pre-populated with the selected text.

Delete By Word

The content area supports keystrokes to delete by word, rather than one character at a time:

• Ctrl+Backspace = Delete to start of current word (equal to Ctrl+Shift+Left, Backspace on macOS)

• Ctrl+Delete = Delete to start of next word (equal to Ctrl+Shift+Right, Delete on macOS)

Search Brain for

Select a word or phrase in any note and right click. Select the option of Search Brain for “Selected Text” to see if that word or phrase appears elsewhere within the same brain.

Edit Link Context Menu Commands

Once a link has been added to notes, you can right-click on it to edit it. If the link is a URL, you can edit its text. If the link is to a thought, you can search for and select a different thought.

Resizable Images and Videos

Images and videos that have been pasted into a note can easily be resized. Click on the image or video to highlight it. Each image will have eight resizing points. Click and drag on any resizing point to resize the image.

Copying Images from Notes

When a picture in the content area is copied (by right-clicking it and selecting the Copy command), pasting into Paint or Word will paste the image itself.

Pasting into notepad or some other text-only application will paste the markdown text that references the picture.

Additionally, you can right-click an image in the content area and select Copy as Image.
