Note editor & Markdown

Aligned with the in-app feature guide (featureGuide.js) and editor UI. Notes are stored in SQLite (Vault & data), not as loose Markdown files on disk.

Read and edit mode

Each note tab can toggle read mode vs edit mode.

Edit — write Markdown in the editor.
Read — rendered preview; this is where transclusion runs (see below).

Markdown affordances

Syntax	Behaviour
`#tags`	Tags with automatic indexing / autocomplete (via the tags pipeline).
`[[Note Title]]`	Wiki-links with automatic backlink tracking; power the Graph.
`![[Note Title]]`	Transclusion — embeds another note’s content in read mode only. Embeds are not tracked as wiki-links the same way as `[[links]]`.

Ordinary Markdown (headings, lists, code blocks, tables, and so on) is rendered via the app’s Markdown pipeline (marked in the editor stack).

Save and indexing

Save is explicit: Ctrl+S (⌘S on macOS). There is no silent “autosave every keystroke” story documented here — save when you want persistence and re-index.
After save, Grimoire updates FTS and triggers per-note vector indexing for unlocked notes so Search and chat Use notes see the saved version.
The editor may show Indexing… while embeddings finish on large notes.

Properties

Notes can carry structured properties used by Kanban and Database views:

text, number, date, boolean (checkbox), select (dropdown)

See Views — Kanban and Database. Backend: commands/properties.rs.

Templates

Built-in templates (from the feature guide):

Blank
Meeting Notes
Daily Journal
Book Notes

plus user-created templates. Apply them from the note-creation flows the app exposes (TemplateModal.svelte).

Bookmarks

Bookmarks pin frequently accessed notes above the folder tree for quick access (stores/bookmarks.svelte.js).

Export

Scope	Formats
Current note (editor or folder list)	Markdown, HTML, or PDF (via the print dialog)
Bulk	Settings → Data → export all notes as Markdown (skips locked notes)

Improve and send selection to chat

Improve — select text, use the Improve flow (popover asks for an instruction, e.g. “Make it more concise”). The model proposes changes; you review a diff and accept/reject hunks (ImprovePopover.svelte, DiffView.svelte). This is a focused rewrite path, not free-form chat.
Send selection to chat — Ctrl+Shift+Enter (⌘⇧Enter on macOS) or right-click → Send to Chat dumps the selection into the assistant for a normal conversation (AI assistant).
