First of all. Sorry for my spelling, i'm from Argentina.
I hope you can help me with something i'm lookin for.
I use a keyboard shortcut to a text file to write any tought, text or quick reminder on my pc.
It can be from a link to a webpage, an app, game or movie that i want to download later, a command to run on terminal once in a while and dont loose it (ej chmod o chown recursive, ssh to a specific pc, etc.
So, anything i need in hand is there and i need it to be fast. I don't have to open a browser or a big app.
Now the text is getting to big and messy, so i'm trying to organize it.
Thats why i'm srarching for a solution to organize this kind of things. In order to have for example, a sidebar with tags, categories or folder (you name it) so i can drop that text in there
example:
structure when i open the note/text/app
movies
linux commands
links
music
work
others
structure when i expand some of the contents
movies
+house of gucci
+download new season form dexter!!!
linux commands
links
music
+iron maiden new album
work
others
1-) I know the fisrt sugested solution will be a note taking app. I use one (evernote), but i mostly use it on my phone or for more complex things (large texts, links, text with embedded files etc.)
The thing i'm looking for is to drop almost just words thes fastes posible way (exj. "chmod 777", or "theres is a director cut of blade runner" or "iron maiden album is out!!!"
So, if it is a note taking app it has to be super lighteight and zero bloated, so if i press the keyboard shortut it will show almost instantly an also, i wanted to be just text, no a thousand of options, logos, menus, popups etc. (maybe theres is some note taking app like this).
Another down of a note taking app is the long-term support of the database format..
If i use a note taking app, and it has its own note format, maybe in 2 years it doesnt work anymore and i have to export text by text and start from sratch
2-) another solution (is what i am using now) is using geany programmer text editor, and save the text with "py" extension. Its close to what i want, but still it isnt.
if i write something, and below i start with a space, it recognizes it as a submenu.
I also can fold and unfold that submenu.
The downside is that every time i open the app all the groups are expanded, and another mayor downside, is that i don't have a sidebar with all the groups to find groups easily, so if ai want something in that group i have to search it in the text.
Also. i can't order groups by any criteria.
The upside: its just one text file, with a readable format, so i don't need to use geany exclusively. I f i want to open the file on a text editor it open ok (just not with the subgroups).
I attached a screen recording of an example o what i want created in geany
So, i hope i made myself clear, i'm sure that theres gotta be some app or any kind of solution out there, i just still can find it or don't know what to to look for
Thanks in advance
greetings!!!
