winget install --id JonatanHeyman.HeynoteAbout Heynote
Heynote is a dedicated scratchpad for developers. It functions as a large persistent text buffer where you can write down anything you like. Works great for that Slack message you don't want to accidentally send, a JSON response from an API you're working with, notes from a meeting, your daily to-do list, etc. The Heynote buffer is divided into blocks, and each block can have its own Language set (e.g. JavaScript, JSON, Markdown, etc.). This gives you syntax highlighting and lets you auto-format that JSON response....
What's new in 2.9.0
What's Changed Sidebar with tree view of the note buffers You can now turn on a sidebar with a tree view of all your buffers and directories. Search across all buffers A new global search function has been added. Use it to find text across all buffers in the library. The default key binding to open up the global search is Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + F. Archive Scratch functionality A new archive action has been added for the default Scratch buffer. It can be accessed from the Scratch buffer's context (right click) menu. It moves the content of Scratch into a new buffer buffer and starts a fresh Scratch buffer. For performance reasons it's recommended to use this feature when the Scratch buffer grows really large (e.g. MBs). Other changes - Persist the search query between different buffers, and between restarts - Add a setting for automatically installing new updates (on by default) - Add version and client id headers when fetching currency exchange rates - Add inline color preview for hex / hsl / rgb values for supported languages (CSS, HTML, JS/TS, Vue, TSX) - Improve window show/focus behavior when restoring from tray - Add setting for automatically starting Heynote on login - Add setting for starting Heynote hidden - Add copyLineDown and copyLineUp commands by default bound to Alt + Shift + ArrowDown/Up Merged PRs - Persist the search query between different buffers, and between restarts by @heyman in https://github.com/heyman/heynote/pull/469 - Side panel with tree view of all buffers and directories in the heynote library by @heyman in https://github.com/heyman/heynote/pull/45...
