Quick List

Previous  Top  Next

You can open the Quick List by pressing F6. When you use this feature for the first time, it will display the list of documents currently open in NoteTab. You can quickly move to another document by selecting it from that list. This is particularly useful when you have many documents open.

The Quick List window can be used to display four types of content:

1. Opened documents (Documents)

2. Favorites list (Favorites)

3. Files in a directory (Disk Files)

4. Clip Assistant

The simplest way to change the type of list is by invoking the shortcut menu in the Quick List window. Choosing Disk Files will display all the files matching the wildcard criteria in the current directory. You can change directory or file criteria by editing the content of the combo box and then pressing the ENTER key. Double-clicking in the combo box will open a dialog box that makes it easy to change directories. To open one of the files listed, just double-click on its name.

The Favorites list contains the same items as the Favorites menu. When you use NoteTab for the first time, the Favorites list will be empty. Once you have added documents to the list, just double-click on a document name to open it.

When the Favorites or Disk Files are displayed, you can drag-and-drop the names into your document. If the document has an HTML extension (as listed in the Options | HTML Files dialog box), dragged file names are converted to HTML links: image files (GIF, PNG, JPG, JPEG, and BMP) will be inserted as Img tags and other files as a HRef tags. The Img tags are complete with the size attributes of the image. You can change the format of the default tag by editing the appropriate fields in the Options | Internet dialog box. By default, URLs are automatically converted to lowercase. However, you can preserve the original case of a file name by holding down the Ctrl key while inserting it in HTML documents. Alternatively, you can change the setting of the "Create Lowercase URLs" in the Options | HTML Files dialog box.

The Clip Assistant contains all the commands and functions available in the Clip syntax. You select and complete commands and function through the Clip Wizards (which are themselves created through Clip syntax).

The Quick List's shortcut menu lets you close, delete, or shift the focus to the selected document, or close the window.
