I haven’t used this yet, as I only use one computer yet and don’t need to access my files from other computers, but I like that it’s instantly backed up and accessible online - once again. Lastly, I moved the “Notational Data” folder in which all the plain text notes are stored to my Dropbox folder.You can do this under Preferences/Notes/Synchronization. I don’t use Simplenote as I don’t have an iPhone (if I did I probably would) but I like having all my notes backed up and accessible online. I also have it synchronizing with Simplenote’s online service.This allows me to email individual text files to people if necessary, to open them in other text editors, and to access the files from my phone if needed. Under Preferences/Notes/Storage, I’ve set it to store notes as plain text files.I’ve set up a couple things worth noting: It’s extremely simple, but it works better than any other text editor I’ve used, and so I decided it would be all I use. Then start typing or editing with the keyboard. Just type Cmd-L, start typing your search or new file name, and press Return when you’re done. Also if you start typing a name of a new file you want to create, you just press Return and the new file is create - no need to go to “New File” or something like that in a menu.Īnd by learning one keyboard shortcut - Cmd-L to instantly go to the “location bar” - you never need to use the mouse. In the location bar, you just start typing, and instantly whatever you’re looking for appears. It lets you find these texts very easily through a search bar that displays matches as you type the search, very similar to Google Instant.It saves these texts automatically - you never have to press Save.Notational, as many of you might know, is a lightweight program that does something very simple:
MAC NOTATIONAL VELOCITY MAC
I noted this in a feature Shawn Blanc did on my Sweet Mac Setup (and indeed it is sweet), and several readers asked for an elaboration – how do I use NV? These days I use the simple Mac program Notational Velocity to write nearly everything - notes, lists, todos, ideas, blog posts, book chapters, rambling rants to the government, and so on.
