First Steps With JNote¶
In this tutorial, you will learn how to to the most basic stuff with JNote. For help regarding installation, please read The Getting Started Guide.
Using JNote¶
To start using JNote, fire it up by double clicking JNote.exe
(Windows) or JNote.app
(Mac).
On Linux, execute path/to/JNote/JNote
in the Terminal. Example - ~/opt/JNote/JNote
.
After successfully starting JNote, you will see the JNote GUI (see below).
Step 1: Create a New Document¶
To use JNote properly, you should create a new document. You can do so by clicking ‘File’ and then ‘New` in the Menu Bar, or clicking ‘New’ in the Tool Bar, or simply pressing Ctrl + N! For more about keyboard shortcuts, see Keyboard Shortcuts.
After successfully creating a new document, the Editing Area empties (if there were any text inside) and the message “New Document Created” appears in the Status Bar. Now you can type any text you want! Let’s type “Hello!!”.
See the Docs for this feature.
Step 2: Save your work¶
For this example we will create a new folder called JNote-Example
in your Documents
folder.
You can find the Documents
folder in ~/Documents
for Mac and Linux, and C:\Users\username\Documents
for Windows.
After editing the new document you just created, you can save it in a new file by clicking ‘File’ and then ‘Save as’, or just click ‘Save as’ in the Tool Bar. You can also press Ctrl + Shift + S.
Then a File Dialog appears asking you to choose a location and a filename for your file.
Choose the JNote-Example
folder and type myfile.txt for the filename.
Finally, Hit Save!
A file with the name myfile.txt
should appear in the JNote-Examples
folder.
See the Docs for this feature.
