Re KN keyboard: Yes that is nice. But on my W2K the escape key for closing KN does not work. I have no idea why? I am using Alt-F4 which does the same when combined with ‘don’t close, minimize instead’

Instead of Ctrl-~ I use the standard Ctrl-Shift-F12. But Ctrl-~ is a good ‘grip’!

Yes, save when minimize and minimize to tray is great.

KeyNotes work perfectly on my end too. I’m building a process around 5-7 pages named (Collected, Today, Next Action, Some Day, Thoughts) and put items and actions in bulleted lists on them. I use Ctrl-~ to call the notes window and Esc to leave it. The auto-saving is set to when I close the window. This way I almost don’t notice when the notebook comes and goes; and I never bother saving notes explicitly. It nicely integrates into my workflow.

One other interesting feature I noticed is ‘Minimize on N idle minutes” (something like this). It hides inactive window automatically. Having minimize to systray feature in BB, we could use this too. It’s VERY convenient as we always tend to leave unnecessary windows open until nothing can be found in the overcrowded taskbar.

your site wasn’t available to me on Sunday so I couldn’t come back earlier.

Well, I am around all the time. Just recently I have joined the BlogBridge forum and added some nagging

I follow your blog in BlogBridge (Thanks again and have started to use KeyNotes again because of your reminder. I have already started to create some to-do lists successfully got things done. It is much more efficient to do it this way than to do it with i.e. Palm desktop or Outlook or any ‘you name it’ online application. KeyNotes has some issues but is very powerful. It really is a pity that the developer is not working on this application anymore. All the new fancy trends like tagging or microformats from web pages will never be included

If you have too much time you should write a converter from KeyNotes XML to OpenOffice. This can’t be too difficult.

Just checked my inbox for your last mail in my archive. It’s from June 30th, well, that are ages in Internet speak

It reminded me that I had installed KeyNote a long time ago for the very same purpose but had given up on it because I was not able to remember all the useful shortcuts.

Also the import feature is very confusing at the beginning because a) KeyNote only imports one type of file at once (i.e. *.txt but not *.bak) and b) if you don’t have an existing child in a node you can’t drag & drop files into that node. You first have to create a new child.

It is also not very common standard that you can’t select multiple items.

But beside these annoyances KeyNote is a very mighty tool and I can only add my vote to your recommendation.

And NO you are not flooding! I absolutely love to read such notes and I can assure you that you are not the only one who wishes to get that crowded inbox organized. I am green with envy that you managed that task

And it can’t be said often enough: Thanks for BlogBridge!

Greetings from Hamburg where autumn is also on the horizon.
