<title>Using &kjots;</title>

|
|
<para>&kjots; has two basic items used to organize your notes -
|
|
<quote>Books</quote> and <quote>Pages</quote>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>You can create a number of books in &kjots;, and each book can
|
|
contain a number of pages, where you actually type your notes. Each book
|
|
should be given a name (so you can find what you are looking for), as
|
|
should each page. Although you aren't forced to give a page a name, it
|
|
is sensible to do so.</para>

<sect1 id="kjots-books">
|
|
<title>Using Books</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>To create a new book, use <keycombo action="simul">&Ctrl;&Shift;
|
|
<keycap>N</keycap></keycombo> or the menu entry
|
|
<menuchoice><guimenu>File</guimenu><guimenuitem>New
|
|
Book</guimenuitem></menuchoice>, and you will be prompted to enter a
|
|
name for the new book.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The name of the new book should now appear in the left part of
|
|
the window. If you want the book to be in your
|
|
<quote>Bookmarks</quote>, use <keycombo action="simul">&Ctrl;
|
|
<keycap>B</keycap></keycombo> or the menu entry <menuchoice>
|
|
<guimenu>Bookmarks</guimenu><guimenuitem>Add Bookmark</guimenuitem>
|
|
</menuchoice>. You can even organize your bookmarks in separate folders
|
|
just as you probably do in &konqueror;.</para>
|
|
|
|
<tip><para>If you want to have your books in a different order, you can
|
|
simply drag and drop the book to the place where you want it to be.
|
|
</para></tip>
|
|
|
|
<para>Maybe you have noticed that there is no <quote>Save</quote> anywhere.
|
|
This is not an error, &kjots; saves your books and pages automatically,
|
|
so you will never lose that small note you write when you are on the phone
|
|
and need to write down something in a hurry.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>You can also export an entire book as a text file or as a html file,
|
|
using <menuchoice><guimenu>File</guimenu> <guimenuitem>Export book...
|
|
</guimenuitem></menuchoice>. You will be then prompted to enter a
|
|
location for the file to be saved. The format of an example saved book
|
|
is shown below:</para>

# The third page

|
|
This is the third page and is an example for KJots.</screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>Remember that the dialog where you are prompted for a filename is
|
|
a standard &kde; dialog. That means it is just as easy to store the file
|
|
on your local hard disk as it is to save it on a web server, ftp server
|
|
or USB memory stick. So you can export as html and save it on a webserver,
|
|
this way you always have your notes available to you.</para>

<title>Using Pages</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>Pages are where you actually write whatever you are going to
|
|
write. Once you have created a book, you can type text in the main text
|
|
box.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>To create additional pages, you can use <keycombo action="simul">&Ctrl;
|
|
<keycap>N</keycap></keycombo> or the menu entry
|
|
<menuchoice><guimenu>File</guimenu><guimenuitem>New Page</guimenuitem>
|
|
</menuchoice>, which will create a new page. Similarly, the current page
|
|
can be removed using <menuchoice><guimenu>File</guimenu>
|
|
<guimenuitem>Delete Page</guimenuitem></menuchoice>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<tip><para>If you need to insert the current date and time while you are
|
|
writing a note, you can use <keycombo action="simul">&Ctrl;<keycap>I
|
|
</keycap></keycombo>.</para></tip>
|
|
|
|
<para>So that you can get to the page you want to see, pages can (and
|
|
should) be given a name. This can be done in the way you are used to:
|
|
select the page you want to rename, wait a second and click it once more.
|
|
You are then able to rename the page. Of course there is also a keyboard
|
|
shortcut, you can use that at any time while writing a note. The shortcut
|
|
is: <keycombo action="simul">&Ctrl;<keycap>M</keycap></keycombo>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>An other way of renaming the page is by selecting a part of your note
|
|
and then press <keycombo action="simul">&Ctrl;<keycap>T</keycap></keycombo>,
|
|
the selected text will instantly become the title of the page.</para>
|
|
|
|
<tip><para>If you want fast access to a particular page, you
|
|
can assign a keyboard shortcut to that page. Go to <menuchoice>
|
|
<guimenu>Settings</guimenu><guimenuitem>Configure Shortcuts...
