Stacks
Next Previous

Home Alt+F1 Opens the stack was started with the info-base, depending on the settings of the last or a fixed. 
 
Backward Alt+Left

If the editor has the focus , so you have to edit a note, the position is stored in a history (last visits).

Is to be noted: that with some functions (Reload, Split, Join, Duplicate, Sort stack and Delete duplicates ) all noticed position of that stack must be deleted

If the history (last visits) of a whole stack should be deleted, then you need only to call e.g. Reload .

So you can return to the last visits

Forward Alt+Right

or go to these positions forward.

The status bar displays the steps back with a negative number. "-2", So to say, the penultimate position Loading.
 

Last visits F2

The entire last visits can be displayed in a window and selected directly.
However, only the notes that you were actually in (with the cursor) are included in this list, not those that are only displayed !

Individual or all entries can be deleted and the width/height of the window can be set in a Popup menu (right mouse button) or with the corresponding hotkeys.
      

Filter history (AND) Alt+F4

This function only applies to the local search in the batch (F4). All additive (logical AND) searches are automatically saved (but not with temporary open files !) and can be recalled here anytime.

Normally (Enter or Double-Click) loads also the stack. With Ctrl+Enter the filter can be applied to any stack.

If the stack is no longer available for any reason, trying to search in the current stack like Crtl+Enter.

And that is also the case with the global search, if the focus was previously set (with F3 or the mouse) to the input field of the search. Here, of course, the saved stack remains unnoticed.

However, the additive search is only saved if the filter F8 is switched off manually or by the program, this Filter history (AND) is called,  a new stack is loaded or the program is closed.
Even a bookmark-, alarm-, manually or simple filter automatically stores an additive search.

If elements of such additive searches are not found, they are removed and then the new filter (for more than one element) is automatically saved again in the filter history.

Additive filters (logical AND) can be set differently:

  1. Manually by entering the individual search terms (also with the help of the search history) and Enter or Ctrl+Enter or Ctrl+BkSp .
  2. If "Search with link delimiter" is allowed, by directly entering each search term with the link delimiter ("¦") in between.
  3. Calling stored filters or filter parts from the Filter menu, which are always added to a possibly active filter with AND.
  4. From this filter history.

Individual or all entries can be deleted and the width/height of the window can be set in a Popup menu (right mouse button) or with the corresponding hotkeys.
    

Notes:

searches

The search functions work according to the same rules:

  1. For each of the 3 searches (from the editor, the tags and at the search import) there are 4 hotkeys resp. Menu items. 
  2. A distinction is made between global search (in all stacks) F3 and normal search (only in the current stack) F4
  3. A new search can be triggered with Enter or the new terms can be added to an existing one with logical AND with Ctrl+Enter.
  4. For a logical OR or AND NOT, a small detour via a temporary code ("0" is specified as "temp. tag (OR)") must be taken:

    Example:The "Music" stack contains notes with information and links to all videos and audios.
     
    If the number of audios plus the number of videos is less than the number of notes in the stack, there are also other notes in the stack (or they don't have the right codes) and they should be displayed. It works like this:

    1. Filter on the code for audios and give them the temporary code "0".
    2. Filter on the code for videos and give them the temporary code "0".
    3. now the filter on "0" shows all notes with "Audios" OR "Videos".
    4. Now inverting this filter with ALT+F8 will bring the notes you are looking for that do not have the code for videos AND NOT the code for audios.

    In the end, of course, the temporary code "0" must be deleted from the entire stack!
  5. The number of search terms (max. 20) are displayed in the status bar for both searches F3 and F4.
  6. If Text search exactly is activated in the View menu, the search will be performed exactly as entered or as the text is displayed resp. marked in the editor.
  7. Otherwise, the input (or the selected text) is freed from all special characters, as with Search import , and divided into up to 20 search terms.
  8. The single search terms are stored in the respective drop-down lists and can be recalled from there.  

If no filter or only unchangeable filters are set, the 1st search process can also be triggered with the AND-hotkey !
   

drop-down

In addition to the usual mouse click, all drop-down windows can also be opened with F4 (or F3 !) and closed again with Esc, the selection or F4. (e.g. searching/replacing F12)

This also applies to the local search with F4 - only with the global search with F3 the drop-down window is opened with F3. (closed as usual)
    

Global search
 
F3

Jumps in the left input box used to enter any keywords with a final press Enter (all stacks) or Ctrl+Enter (remaining stacks with logical AND operation - up to 20 keywords). Info-Base searches in all stacks and displays it in the list the results.

If the "Search with the link delimiter" is permitted , a logical AND operation can be entered directly here. (e.g., "verdi¦rigoletto¦nucci" - corresponding to the link "\\?¦verdi¦rigoletto¦¦nucci")

A single Space and Enter returns the number of all notes in the Info-Base, because it can be assumed that each one has a Space ...

From here you can with Enter or Double-Click to open each stack with filter on the keywords.

This input field has its own Popup menu (left mouse button) with additional options.
 

Search F4

Jumps into the middle box used to enter any search terms with a final press Enter (whole stack) or Ctrl+Enter (with logical AND operation - max. 20 Search Terms). Using Ctrl+F to search the current note.

Only here can the last parts of an additive filter (AND) be deleted with Ctrl+Backspace. To do this, write in the input field (also with the input history) the part that is to be deleted. The default is always the last one.

The filter menu switches automatically: If the part (also with several parts, separated with the link delimiter) already in the filter, it will be deleted.

If the "Search with the link delimiter" is permitted, a logical AND operation can be entered directly here. (e.g., "verdi¦rigoletto¦nucci" - corresponding to the link "\\stackname¦Verdi¦rigoletto¦nucci")

If the auto-reduction of search term switched on, then the search term will be shortened until he is found. If necessary, the setting (Auto reduction or exact ) can be changed temporarily (!) with the Popup menu (Ctrl+R).

In various areas a Popup menu (right mouse button) can be open or the appropriate key combination may be pressed. Among them are often the search (Ctrl+S) and/or the global search (Ctrl+G) and a highlighted word or a tag from the tag list of the respective search is sent and automatically an existing filter/search added (Ctrl+Enter), if it is active.

This input field has its own Popup menu (left mouse button) with additional options.
 

Clear global search Ctrl+F3

Deletes the last global search results. This function works independently of the current focus.

In the input field, this also works with a Double-Click or Del (popup menu) and from outside (other programs) with the defined global hotkey (Ctrl+Shift+F3).
     

Clear search Ctrl+F4

The filter is switched off and will emptied Alt+F8). This function works independently of the current focus.

In the input field, this also works with a Double-Click or Del (popup menu) and from outside (other programs) with the defined global hotkey (Ctrl+Shift+F4).

F8 also switches off an existing filter, but does not delete it !
  

Global alarm Shift+F3

This can be searched in all stacks for a Alarm tag.  These are displayed in the global search window.

With the automatic alarm can in the same way when you first start a day or to any of the global alarm are triggered.
 

Alarm Shift+F4

After the alarm symbol is a current or past date or part of it (eg. "** 11/11/2011"), the filter is set to this notes. After a complete date (according to settings ) can also follow the time ("**11/11/2015-13:25").

It can also be an incomplete date be specified, which adds to the current month or/and year . e.g. "**15/" for every 15th of the month (until end of the month !) or "**1/3/" (or "3/1/") for every 1th of March (until end of the year!).

It can also be set an Alarm tag  (** or |**|). He trigger the alarm without date.

If the automatic alarm is turned on, the first starting of the start stack or all stacks (global) is searched "once a day" or "always" for an alarm date, if set to "each stack" everyone else, when it is loaded.
 

Compare Shift+F7

The normal search and filter can only search for the presence or absence of a specific expression (or a combination with AND) in the stack.
It may also be necessary to search for values ??(numeric, alphanumeric or date) with "greater than and equal to" (> =) or less than (<). This is the purpose of this comparison filter.

An expression after a certain character (e.g. field names) or the first word or number (all digits, minus signs and decimal point are extracted), if nothing indicated, is compared (to the next  CR/LF ) with a value to be entered.

This option is primarily intended to be the date after the corresponding symbols. This allows temporary tags to be set (e.g. all books read / purchased 10 years ago) and integrated into normal search (F4) with additive filters.

An example: to filter all the notes of 2016. This takes two comparisons:

  1. Date >= 01.01.2016 get the tag 0
  2. Date < 01.01.2017 get the tag 1

Then all the notes with tag 0 AND tag 1 are from 2016. This year can then be provided with a own tag and the temporary tags 0 and 1 can now be deleted in the entire stack. (F9) 
     

Sort stack Ctrl+F9

To be specified by rules of the entire stack can be sorted. The sorting depth should not be too high, because the time required...

Before a date (e.g. date of creatinga note), a part of the alarm symbol on labeling should be used, so "* 11/11/2011".
Sorting takes into account each string directly after the complete date to a space, TAB or CR/LF, e.g. "*11/11/2011-13:45" from: "{{dd/mm/yyyy}}-{{hh:ss}}" or "*11/11/2011-001" from: "{{dd/mm/yyyy}}-{{%000}}".

When sorting, the history of the entire stack is deleted. If you want to avoid this, the stack (or a selection) can also be copied into an empty and temporary stack with F10 and sorted there. Temporary stacks are also very useful for other operations (e.g. creating certain lists) !

Example:  You want to  identify in the stack of "music" for a long time-belonged pieces with the flag (F7) without changing the current order of the notes in the stack:

  1. With F12 all notes in the stack will be provided with a unique (!) string "yxc" (or e.g. "##") and the temporary counter. (search: "{{end}} and exchange with:" yxc{{#0}}")
  2. The stack can now be sorted with this function after "last heard" ("^ + date"), with arbitrary filtering the selection restricted and personal choice marked with F7. 
  3. Thereafter, the stack with the counter after "yxc" (numeric) is returned to the original order and with F12 (search: "{{end}}}" and replace: empty) the last line deleted.

This can be done easily and quickly with keyboard macros through SendKey.exe , especially if you need it more than just once:

  1. set~{esc}{f9}{f12}{del}{F8}{tab}{del}yxc{f9}{enter}
  2. delete~{esc}{f9}{f12}{del}{F8}{tab}{del}{enter}       
Overview Ctrl+F10

Created from the respective first rows (in the list) to filter (or not) a new list, which can then in turn been processed and sorted.

If there are very many lines (1000 or more), a warning appears that such a note can cause problems and become very slow.

Sorting can also be made faster before creating the overview, if the selection is copied into a temporary stack and sorted there as a stack.   
 

Check files Shift+F9

Checks in the current or in all stacks whether files (documents, images, media etc.) are linked in individual folders or entire folder structures.

If you search in all stacks, it can take a long time if there are a lot of pieces of notes and/or a lot of files.

At the end, a note with all files that are not linked is created, so that a comprehensive collection can be checked quickly and easily for completeness.

That's kind of what Shift+F11 does from the other side...

This goal can also be achieved with Read file links Alt+F6 , because existing links are not overwritten - only it takes longer and is a bit more cumbersome.

A common file filter can be set, the default is "*.*". So e.g. "*.pdf" etc.. 
  

Check tags Shift+F10 All existing tags in the whole stack are checked and compared with the list. If not exist in the list, it will be added with "??". This can be particularly useful when a strange stack is taken over.
 
Check file links Shift+F11

Checks the validity of file links ("file:") throughout the stack, distinguishing between those to files (Alt+F) and those to folders (Alt+O). Those to folders can be exempted from the check in this way.

Invalid file links are marked with "(?)" and the filter is set to "files:(?)". This is an easy way to fix the links. If the stack has been saved before , everything can be undone by reloading (Alt+F3).
But better with Search/Exchange (F12) or with a replace file (*.rpl) in the user menu. (e.g. included File-Link.rpl).
    

Delete duplicates AltGr+D

It deletes all completely identical notes. The entire stack must be sorted !

Again, you can restore the original order according to the example from above (sort stack). 
   

Filter F8

Turns on or off the filter if a filter has been created previously. (Number in the status bar)
It should be noted that F8 - in contrast to Ctrl+F3, Ctrl+F4 and the Double-Click on the input field - does not delete the filter, but only switches it on and off.

There are 4 different filters: (displayed in the title bar of the overview list)

1. manually:
In the overview list is a useful function (Popup menu) active: left arrow deletes the displayed note from the current filter and right arrow adds him. If this function is used with another filter, this will automatically lead to manually.

2. Bookmarks:
Is turned on by pressing Alt+F7 and includes all marked (F7) notes in the stack.

3. Alarm:
Can be set either automatically (settings) or by pressing Ctrl+F4 and includes all the notes of the respective stack whose date after the alarm-symbol is reached.

4. normal:
This is set by typing in the search field (or corresponding hotkeys) and allows up to 20 additive terms (with Ctrl+Enter or the button) that appears in the title bar of the overview list. (logical AND).
  

Invert/reset filter Alt+F8 When a filter is active, it is respectively reversed (inverted). Otherwise, the current filter will emptied.
 
Group F9

If the group is enabled, some features refer not only to the current list, but to all (filters). This is for example very useful when searching/replacing.

Before any such operation, the user is warned and then the group automatically turned off, if it is not agreed.
