Hello, just wanted to say that I’m very happy to discover Notenik. I’ve been looking for a proper “Mac-assed Mac app” to replace VoodooPad for years and never really found anything that resembled it. I went back and forth between DEVONthinnk (too much for what I need) and Vimwiki in Vim (too fiddly, and in no way Mac-like) more times than I’d like to say. Notenik seems to check all my boxes: a proper Mac app, not Electron, single dev passion project, actively updated, looks like there’s a great community here.

That being said, I do have some suggestions and/or questions about how things work. In no particular order:

Is there any way to turn off the alternating row highlights in the table view?

When searching from ⌘F, can I also filter the view so only the notes that match show up?

Is there any way to highlight or jump to the found search term in the note once selected in the sidebar?

I _love_ that I can jump to the next found note with ⌘G, well done sir.

Can I bind a keyboard shortcut to jump to Home?

Can I mark a particular note as my “Home” note? (I’ve got an Index.md Markdown file that’s basically my home.)

When navigating back and forth, is there a way I could jump to the _previously viewed_ note instead of the previous note in the list?

Sorry… that looks like a lot now that I re-read it. Anyway, just what’s come to mind after a few hours using the app. Some of that might be that I’m not familiar enough with it yet. Thanks again for all your work on Notenik!
