# Notes — Dondori Docs

> Floating Notes: one journal note per day with live markdown, wiki-links between notes and tasks, backlinks, and task extraction.

## The window

**⌥⌘N** shows and hides the Notes window — the same floating, above-everything behavior as the panel. It opens on **today's note**; ⌘← / ⌘→ step through days, and ⌘\ toggles a sidebar with the day list, pinned notes, and undated notes.

## Writing

- **Live markdown** — headings, bold/italic (⌘B/⌘I), lists, and `- [ ]` checkboxes render as you type.
- ⏎ continues a list (`-`, `- [ ]`, `1.`); an empty item ends it.
- ⌃T inserts the current time — handy for a running log of the day.
- ⌘N creates a new note on the current day (or an undated one in the pool).

## Wiki-links

Type `[[` and an autocomplete offers every task and note. A link to a task shows its live state; hovering previews the target; **backlinks** (⌘⇧B, or the counter at the bottom) list everything that links here. A task's detail page shows the notes that mention it.

## Notes → tasks

A line in a note can become a real task — extract it from the note and it lands in your day with a link back. Meeting minutes turn into action items without retyping.

## Navigation & upkeep

| Keys | Action |
|---|---|
| ⌘P | Search across all notes |
| ⌘K | Action palette: capture link, move, pin… |
| ⌘1 … ⌘9 | Open a pinned note |
| ⌘⌫ | Delete the note (Undo in the toast) |
| Esc | Hide the Notes window |

Notes are part of the same local database as tasks — they sync P2P (https://dondori.io/docs/sync.md) and are covered by database encryption.
