Notes

Notes are a quick way to collect small bits of text without immediately writing an entry. There are several ways to write notes. The collected notes to a diary are located directly below the calendar-sheet.



Creating notes in Myary

A new note can be created directly in the main program using the "+"-button on the right side of the notes area.

Add notes via the status bar

A convenient way to write notes without switching to Myary is via the status bar.


Entering notes from the status bar popover

For this, you must click on the Myary icon in the status bar. A popover window will appear, with the text field input. The input is saved by clicking on the button "Add" or by using the keyboard shortcut "Command+Enter".

Defining the keyboard command for the entry via the status bar

In order to be able to write a note even faster and without the help of the mouse, a special keyboard shortcut can be defined in the preferences under the item "General" to display the note window in the status bar.
Note: Myary can not overwrite OSX keyboard shortcuts. Therefore, the keyboard shortcut should be tested as soon as it is set.
Keyboard shortcut recommendation: CMD+CTRL+N

Creating notes from a browser using the bookmarklet

A particularly elegant way to add notes is to use the Myary bookmarklet for web browsers. The bookmarklet for browsers is available on the Myary website at www.xelaton.com. Once inserted in the browser, marked text from web pages can be sent as a note to Myary. It will also include the URL of the current page and add it to the note text.


Notes area with a webnote and a normal note

These notes are especially declared as "webnotes". If such a "webnote" is selected in the note list, an additional button appears next to the edit-button. Pressing that button opens the source web page of this "webnote" in the standard web browser.

Adding notes to entries

If notes are to be added to entries, this can be done simply by selecting the note and drag it over to the text field.

Extended actions for notes

For notes, extended actions are available when right-clicking on the notes list.
