The note tree menu can be accessed by right-clicking in the Note Tree.
Interaction
The contextual menu can operate:
On a single note, by right clicking it in the note tree.
On multiple notes, by selecting them first. See Multiple selection on how to do
so.
When right clicking, do note that usually the note being right clicked
is also included in the affected notes, regardless of whether it was selected
or not.
Available options
The most frequent actions stand side by side at the top of the menu, each
as an icon over its name. Use ← and →, or ↑ and ↓,
to move between them.
Cut
Will place the given notes in clipboard.
Use one of the two paste functions (or the keyboard shortcuts) to move
them to the desired location.
Clone
Will place the given notes in clipboard.
Use one of the two paste functions (or the keyboard shortcuts) to copy
them to the desired location.
Note that the copy function here works according to the Cloning Notes functionality (i.e. the
note itself will be present in two locations at once, and editing it in
one place will edit it everywhere).
To simply create a duplicate note that can be modified independently,
look for Duplicate.
Paste into
Pastes the notes in clipboard as child notes of the right-clicked one.
Shown only after notes have been cut or cloned.
Paste after
Pastes the notes in clipboard underneath the right-clicked one.
Shown only after notes have been cut or cloned.
Delete
Will delete the given notes, asking for confirmation first.
In the dialog, the following options can be configured:
Delete also all clones to ensure that the note will be deleted
everywhere if it has been placed into multiple locations (see Cloning Notes).
Erase notes permanently will ensure that the note cannot be recovered
from Recent Changes.
The rest of the menu lists its options one per row:
Hovering it or clicking its arrow opens a submenu with the places the
note can be opened in: Open in a new tab, Open in a new split (to
the right of the note, within the current tab) and Open in a new window.
Quick edit
Opens the note in Quick edit,
over the current one.
Hoist note
Will focus the note tree on this note. See Note Hoisting for
more information.
Insert note after
Allows easy creation of a note with a specified note type.
The Code submenu starts with the scripting notes, each a code note
set up for its role: Custom CSS (with #appCss), Widget (with #widget and
a starting skeleton) and Backend script. The enabled code languages
follow.
Collections are
grouped in the Collection submenu. The note types created less often,
the Snippets and
the AI quick action are in the More submenu.
Templates will
also be present (if any) at the end of the list.
To find an entry quickly, type into the search box at the top of the submenu,
or just start typing while the submenu is open. The submenu then lists
every matching entry, including those inside its own submenus (such as
a code language or a collection), each with the submenu it comes from.
Use ↑ and ↓ to pick a match, Enter to create
it, and Esc to clear the search.
The note will be added on the same level of hierarchy as the note selected.
Insert child note
Same as Insert note after, but the note will be created as a child
of the selected note.
Move to…
Will display a modal to specify where to move the desired notes.
Clone to…
Will display a modal to specify where to clone the
desired notes.
Duplicate
Creates a copy of the note and its descendants, placed right after the
original.
When the note has child notes, the item also has an arrow, set apart by
a divider. Hovering the item or clicking the arrow opens a submenu:
Note and its children does the same as clicking Duplicate.
This note only copies the note with its content and attributes,
but without any of its child notes. Links and relations to the original
children keep pointing at them.
This process is different from Cloning Notes since
the duplicated note can be edited independently from the original.
An alternative to this, if done regularly, would be Templates.
If the note is already archived, it will be unarchived instead.
Multiple notes can be selected as well. However, all the selected notes
must be in the same state (archived or not), otherwise the option will
be disabled.
Protect subtree/Unprotect subtree
On a note that is not protected, Protect subtree marks this note
and all of its descendants as protected. On a protected note, the item
reads Unprotect subtree and unprotects them instead. See Protected Notes for more information.
Hovering the item or clicking its arrow opens a submenu with both actions,
for instance to unprotect the protected notes below a note that is not
protected itself.
Import into note
Opens the import dialog and places
the imported notes as child notes of the selected one.
