Re: what about nota bene

interesting.

can I write my own keyboard -- like I do with xywrite? Mine is so different
I can hardly run xywrite without loading it.

people talk about nota bene as though it were an updated xywrite.


Some corrigenda


-- being able to write without formatting first


Draft mode.


-- being able to change margins etc fast and easy


Go to the command line and issue any XY command.


-- one step combinations to remove a word, or to the end of a line,
or to the end of a sentence, or a paragraph


Same, all the XY native commands work.


-- 9 windows


I forget how many NB has, but who the heck works with nine documents open?


-- command line controls, not mouse


All there. That's all I use. I don't touch the mouse in NB unless for
some reason I want one of the pull down menus, and even then there
are short-cut keys.


did I miss something in nota bene?


Well, you have to set it up to operate like XY, but it's not that
difficult. Robert even made a video to show the way. And all the U2
routines I normally use -- with the exception of SAVESESS -- work in NB.

I can't believe I'm the only XyWriter working in NB as well.
