Notes are Markdown files in your active workspace. Omeruta opens them in a rich-text editor, where you can write and format the page without editing the Markdown source directly.
Create a note
- Select Notes above the file panel.
- Select New File in the vertical sidebar, or select Create file or folder above the file tree.
- In Create location, choose the workspace or folder that should contain the note.
- Select Note.
Omeruta creates and opens a blank .md file. Its starting name is untitled.md; if that name already exists in the chosen location, Omeruta adds a number to make the name unique. The new name is selected in the file panel so you can type a replacement and press Enter.
To change the file name, right-click it in the file panel and select Rename, or select it and press F2.
Write and format text
Select the document body and start typing. The text at the top of the page is the page title; editing it changes the title shown inside the note, not the file name in the file panel.
- Select text to open the formatting toolbar. It includes bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, text and highlight colors, inline code, and links.
- Type
/to open the block menu. You can browse the menu or continue typing to filter its commands. - Select Switch to read mode in the document action bar to prevent editing while you read. In read mode, select Switch to edit mode to continue editing.
Save your changes
Auto-save is on by default and saves a changed local file after editing pauses for the configured delay. To change the delay or turn auto-save off, open Settings, select Editor, and find Auto-save.
You can also save immediately by pressing Command-S on macOS or Ctrl+S on Windows.
An edited file shows a dot in its tab. When that file is active, the bottom status area shows Unsaved. After the file is saved, the status area returns to a green saved indicator.
The pages inside Tutorial & documentation are built into Omeruta and are read-only. Create a note in your workspace when you want an editable page.
