Questions and answers on notes manager


1. How can I paste a Tab character to the note? When I press Tab it switches me to the notes tree.

There are two ways. First - you can use Ctrl+I in order to paste Tab.
Second - Go to the File->Options->Advanced tab. Check the third field to use Tab key for pasting the Tab character and Ctrl+Tab to navigate between the Notes tree and the text field. If unchecked the Tab key would be used to navigate between the Notes tree and the text field and Crtl+I combination for pasting the Tab character into the note.

5. When I perform Undo (Ctrl+Z) in Flashnote I can cancel only the last change. How can I cancel several changes?

We use plain text editor which supports only one undo level. So unfortunately you can cancel only the last change with the Undo command. But you can always use Notes->Reload current page feature to load content of the current note that was before the last save.

6. Can I use different font colors, bold, italics, add pictures to my notes?

We are trying to keep Flashnote as quick and lightweight as possible, that's why plain text editor is used in the notes. If you need to use rtf and pictures in the notes, maybe you need a fullfeatured personal information manager.
