More types of notes

bluepasj

I dunno if it was already requested, haven't found anything like it, and maybe I just don't know how to use VNotes properly, but... I wish that a note could be a links list that you can click. And for the context menu when you click a link to have an option saying "send to note" where it creates a link entry in a note of your choosing that is an automatic text with a link embedded. Alternatively, it would be nice if you could create many different reading lists.

And I've seen a request for a board like pinterest function (apparently some other browser has it), maybe that could be yet another type of note.

@bluepasj There are ways to add links and tables to notes. Quote my post (but don’t submit the reply) to see how it works.

Heading 1

Bold
Italics
~~Strikeout~~
<u>Underlining</u> works in notes, but not in the forum.
Highlighting works in notes, but not in the forum.
Disabled Checkbox
Enabled Checkbox
&mdash
&check
°

Tables (Heading 2)

Column One	Column Two	Column Three	Column Four
Left Aligned	Centred	Markdown Help	Right Aligned
Bold	~~strikeout~~	*Bold Italic*	12345.67

Heading 3

Code markup prevents **other markup tags** from being parsed

Quoted text is indented and highlighted with a grey sidebar. Use a > to indent a quote. Other markdown is parsed.

123abc123abc 123abc

I'll test later, when I can. But that is so inconvenient. They could at least add an option for it to be automated through a context menu. Last time I checked, you couldn't even send text to a specific note, you could only create new notes from selected page text.

Hi, does "Append to Note" not appear in the context menu if you right click on the selected text?

bluepasj

@mib2berlin I checked and yes, it does appear. I still wish it worked for links.

I don't know if this was already implemented:

*copy url to notes from adress bar
*paste url from notes into adress bar

#copy text to notes from search bar
#paste text from notes into search bar

$ copy url to notes from website area
$ paste url or text from notes inside website area

I just realised that I use V only because notes speed up my work inside interweb.

When you need a feature that you can perform manually using your keyboard and mouse and you don't want wait for a developer to implement it, you can often do it yourself using a desktop automation tool. These are available on all major platforms. They allow you to script a series of actions with the mouse and keyboard which accomplishes the task and then to trigger it using a keyboard shortcut, etc.

Since these tools emulate actual user actions, most target applications can't tell the difference and just work.

There's even one for Android, but I don't recall the name ATM.

It is Tasker.
