First Launch
When you first launch KNotes, you might find it asks for a storage location, so just follow and choose the place offered. Once launched, you can use it. See below, when all my notes are being opened on my Kubuntu laptop (I apologize it is all in Indonesian language as all my students & buyers are Indonesians).
What you can note?
For example, in quick way you can keep:
- basic notes, as in studying & learning
- your groceries and schedules
- your payment info, so buyers can pay money quickly to you
- phone numbers
- people's names & addresses
- rules & similar texts
- and many more!
Run at Startup
Add KNotes in Autostart. To do so, open your start menu > Autostart > click Add Program ... > type knotes > select KNotes app > OK > done. Now Knotes will always be active on your system tray.
Create A Note
Click New Note when you right-click the yellow KNote logo.
Open a Note
Click a note among notes when you click the yellow logo.
Change Note's Name
Double-click an opened note's title.
Color Notes
Paint it red, green, blue or one of available colors. To do so, right click an opened note's title > Preferences > Display Settings > change the Background color > OK > done. Do the same to the other notes. Example below showing my notes used in my daily life especially for teaching and commerce.
Search
Have many notes? No problem. Find a certain note easily with search. To do so, right click the yellow one > Find > type a keyword on the appearing dialog > found it. Example below is searching a frequently used word 'gnu' among my notes.
Show Notes Number
Finally, it can display '10' if you have 10 notes, and so on. To do so, right-click the yellow logo > Configure > Misc > give check mark to 'Show number of notes' > OK > done.
Afterwords
Some example from my daily life as I teach & trade via Telegram (a free fast messenger) are that KNotes is extremely useful to me for copy pasting classroom rules and also sending my buyers a price list + bank account as I sell GNU/Linux bootable flash drives. What I do? For years, I just need to copy and paste right from my system tray -- yes, the yellow logo!
That's all & happy computing!
