New updates and improvements to Octarine

0.35.3

Extract text to note, compact nav, delete to bin. Faster scrolling, bug fixes.

Extract Text to Note

  • To extract text to a note, select any range of text, then either click the + icon in the Bubble Menu or press CMD/Ctrl + K → Extract Selection to note. This lets you choose where the new note will be created with your selected text.
    • The selected text will be replaced by a doclink to the new note.

Compact Navigation

  • A new Compact Navigation setting is available in Settings → Preferences. This setting condenses the default navigation buttons into a single row of icons, freeing up more space in the tree view.

Improvements

  • The context menu (right-click) for notes and folders now includes an option to move items to a different folder.
  • You can now save Ask Octarine responses directly as notes using the new “Save to note” button.
  • You can change a folder's color via the context menu’s Change Icon option without changing the icon itself.
  • Suggested prompts now include temporal queries for more relevant recommendations.
  • Scrolling performance in the Notes Tree and Workspace search has been significantly improved.
  • Deleting a note or folder now moves it to the Bin/Recycle Bin instead of deleting it permanently.

Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where removing context from the writing assistant and then selecting text to add to chat would not update the context selector.
  • Fixed an issue where using CMD/Ctrl + Shift + N to create a new folder would not create it inside the current tab’s parent folder.
  • Windows: Fixed an issue where Ctrl + Shift + <backslash> would not properly split the tab below.

Changes

  • The Graph view tab now displays the notes sidebar when active instead of leaving it empty.
  • When selecting text as context for the Writing Assistant, only a text color is applied—no more background color.
  • Updated the toast notification design for action toasts.
