Workspace & Organization
Open a folder once; everything below works on top of it.
File tree
- Toggle with Ctrl/⌘ B. Create, rename, move and delete files and folders inline (deletes go to the system trash).
- Long names are middle-ellipsized by default — enable Full file names in Explorer in Settings to wrap them instead.
- Non-Markdown documents (PDF, DOCX…) can be converted to Markdown on open, or opened with their default app.
Outline
- Toggle with Ctrl/⌘ Shift O. Click a heading to jump; sections collapse.
- Jump labels: press the letter shown next to a heading to jump from the keyboard;
g+ line number jumps to a line. Marker style (letters / numbers / none) is configurable.
Right-sidebar panes
Right-click the sidebar (or use the command palette) to toggle panes; drag to reorder and resize. Hide the whole strip with Ctrl/⌘ Alt B — opening any pane brings it back.
| Pane | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Search | Full-text search across the workspace folder. |
| Backlinks | Every note that links to the current one. |
| Relationships | Typed forward + inverse links (depends_on, part_of, … from front-matter). |
| Tags | All #tags in the workspace; click to filter. |
| Neighborhood | A per-note relationship explorer — click to navigate, pivot to any neighbor. |
| Types | Notes grouped by their type property, with per-type views. |
| History | Git snapshot timeline for the current note (see Sync & History). |
| Properties | Front-matter inspector — edit note properties as a form. |
| Agent | Chat with your vault (see AI features). |
Bases: your notes as a table
Command palette → “Workspace: Properties Table (Bases)” opens every note as a row in a sortable, filterable table built from front-matter properties — a lightweight database view over plain files.
Saved views
Persistent filtered note lists (by tag, type, property, folder…) stored as
.solomd/views/*.yml in the workspace. Create one from the command
palette; they appear in the left sidebar under the file tree.
Daily notes & Inbox
- Ctrl/⌘ D opens today's daily note (created on demand in your configured daily folder); yesterday / tomorrow are one command away.
- The Inbox collects quick captures — including notes sent in from the Web Clipper browser extension and the HTTP capture endpoint — and “Mark Organized & Advance” walks you through triaging them.
Search everywhere
- In the note: Ctrl/⌘ F.
- In the folder: the Search pane (ripgrep-fast, regex-capable).
- Semantic (RAG): ask questions against a local vector index of your vault — see AI features.
