Tabs and navigation

Tabs work like a browser's: several notes stay open and you switch between them quickly.

Opening a tab#

• Pick a note in the sidebar — it opens in a new tab.
• The + button opens an empty tab.
• Clicking a wikilink also opens a new tab.

No duplicates#

If a note is already open in a tab, a second one is not created — Flints takes you to the existing tab instead. That way one note is never edited in two places at once.

Closing a tab#

Hover the tab and click the ×.

They persist#

Open tabs are kept in browser storage. Refresh the page, or close and reopen the browser, and your tabs are still there.

Quick switching#

Ctrl + K is the fastest way to navigate. Start typing a note name and press Enter. See search.

Other buttons#

• The home button returns to the start screen.
• The map button opens the knowledge map.
• Esc leaves the open note and returns to the start screen.
