I’m using Dark Mode with dark icons in the dock. The Notenik icon has a dark background and a dark quill feather. I would love to see a bright green quill feather. Any Suggestions.

Dear Herb, A minor annoyance now that I have upgraded to macOS Tahoe is that the Quit button on the Navigation Board sheet is partly obscured by the frame. Can the default dimension of the sheet be adjusted? Many thank…

</div>

The difference in font rendering between the body and the panes in the list column are hard to ignore. The most aggravating issue is that the fonts in the list column aren’t crisp. The body has no trouble rendering cris…

</div>

This is really just a small “annoyance”: Other editors usually add a newline between the front matter and the actual body text. VS Code even auto-formats this way on saving, and Hugo prefers this. I know it’s not techni…

I’m documenting the internals of software. Object names often include underscore characters, e.g., “name\_of\_the\_thing.” I’m running into trouble with the way that Notenik applies markdown formatting. For this string: “…

I’m sure this has probably been mentioned elsewhere (but couldn’t find it), it’s not a bug, and as this is entirely up to (my) convenience, I’m not sure if this qualifies as a feature request: I really do miss auto-clo…

Hey there, First time posting, so I do apologize for “complaining” (because Notenik is awesome): When generating a sample display theme in a collection, it simply overwrites the existing display.html and display.css. I…

I started a new collection and I duplicated a note. The list view did not update so I presumed that the action had failed. I repeated the action. As the duplicate command still did not seem to be working I created a new …

v12.5.2 I’m using an MacBook Pro M2 at work and a MacBook Pro Intel at home. When I’m on the M2 and I click to enter the field the cursor doesn’t display. It’s there. I can begin typing and everything works as it shoul…

Using dot or underscore to generate tag hierarchies is great. They have the amazing side-effect of creating outlines in the Tag pane. However, they don’t share the same function as a simple tag. When I click on a simple…
