How the new `Move` and updated `Link` commands work in Supernotes, plus some examples to illustrate
How the new Move and updated Link commands work in Supernotes, plus some examples to illustrate:
Link Command (with +New subcommand):
- Text Behavior: If you select text, it pre-fills the new card’s title. The original card keeps the selected text as a link to this new card.
- Focus: Switches to the body of the new card, so you can continue editing it right away.
- Hierarchy: The new card becomes a sibling or step-sibling, depending on your current view settings.
Move Command:
- Text Behavior: The selected text is moved to a new card, filling its body. No title is set unless you input words in the search box from the universal coupler—these words will compose the new card’s title.
- Focus: Stays on the original card, allowing you to continue working there.
- Hierarchy: Just like the link command, it’s either a sibling or step-sibling.
Summary Table:
| Command | Text Behavior | Focus | Hierarchy |
|---|---|---|---|
Link (+new) |
Selected text fills new card’s title; original text links to new card | New card | Siblings or step-siblings |
| Move | Selected text moves to new card’s body; no title | Original card | Siblings or step-siblings |
Example Uses:
-
Link Command: Imagine you’re writing a note on “Project Ideas” and highlight “AI Development.” Using the link command, a new card titled “AI Development” is created, and the text in “Project Ideas” becomes a clickable link to this new card.
-
Move Command: Suppose you’re drafting a note on “Research Topics” and decide “Quantum Computing” should be its own card. You highlight “Quantum Computing,” use the move command, and it moves to a new card’s body. You remain focused on “Research Topics,” ready to keep writing.
