Notes

A note pins a short piece of free text to a specific position — line and column, not just the line — in a document, project-wide, not scoped to whichever file happens to be open. Unlike a bookmark, which only marks a line, a note carries its own text, and a single line can hold more than one.

Adding a note

Two equivalent ways:

• Ctrl+Shift+J opens a small prompt for a note at the cursor’s exact position. Type the text, then Ctrl+Enter (or the Save button) to save; Escape or Cancel discards it.
• Click a line’s note icon slot — to the left of the bookmark diamond — in the Editor’s line-number gutter (Settings > Editor > Show line numbers must be on for this — the shortcut works either way). A noted line shows a ● there. Clicking it opens the same prompt, pre-filled, to edit or delete the first note on that line; clicking an unmarked line’s note icon starts a blank one at the start of the line.

Saving an empty note deletes it instead of leaving a blank one behind.

The Notes dock

Tools > Notes (or Ctrl+Shift+N) opens a dock listing every note in the project, sorted by document, then line, then column. Each row is a clickable link (like a Bookmarks row) showing line:column, followed by a short excerpt of the note’s text — click the link to open that document and jump straight to the note’s exact position — plus a Delete button.

A note follows its document through a rename, a drag-and-drop move, and a move to Trash — including the round trip back out via Restore — the same as a bookmark. It’s only actually removed once the document is truly gone: permanently deleted (no Trash configured), or via Empty Trash. If a noted document somehow can’t be resolved anyway, its row shows (not found) instead of a link — still listed (and deletable) even though there’s nowhere left to jump to.

Navigating between notes

Ctrl+Alt+Down/Ctrl+Alt+Up step to the next/previous note, in the same document-then-line-then-column order the dock lists them, wrapping around at either end — one modifier up from Alt+Down/Alt+Up’s bookmark stepping, since bookmarks already own the unmodified pair. A note whose document can’t be found is skipped.
