0.5.0August 15, 2023

Oh this ones a banger! This might be one of the biggest updates to Octarine, and its packed!

Command + K

CMDK - v0.5.0.png

  • All notable actions are now available at a quick keyboard tap of  K
  • Actions are separated by sections - Notes, Workspaces, App, and also context awareness. What this means is if you are looking at a note, actions related to that note - Duplicate/Pin/Delete are shown first.
  • Open Notes action ( ⌘ P ) has been moved to within the command bar, but is still accessible via the shortcut
  • The Search in Command Bar has been removed (see below)

Dedicated Search

Search - v0.5.0.png

  • There’s a dedicated search page now, instead of the command bar for it, since it felt underwhelming and lagging in cases for that.
  • Shortcut remains the same ⌘ + Shift + F .
  • Search is now divided per file, with each file path being the header with its count, so its easier to grasp, rather than everything being listed flatly.
  • Changed marking of highlighted/searched term from purple text to yellow background, so its clear.
  • Improved performance.

Context Aware Creations

  • Clicking the New Note/Folder buttons or using the shortcuts, now creates the new note/folder in the current selected file. What this means is if you are in a Folder named Release Notes writing v1 note, and you press ⌘ + N we’ll create a new note inside Release Notes instead of at the root of the workspace.
  • When navigating the sidebar using arrow keys, and you are at at folder (even if closed/collapsed), and press the shortcut, we’ll create a new note/folder inside that folder and expand it.

Improvements

  • Added a Confirmation Dialog when deleting a file/folder
  • Fixed an issue where pinned files where not reflecting the latest name if the original had been renamed.
