![]() ![]() Here are some instructions for BetterTouchTool: I now have a custom "paste" command, using BetterTouchTool (Mac only, not free, sorry.), that lets me copy multi-line/paragraph text (from the web, e-mail, or whatever), HTML-encode and convert it to OPML to paste into Workflowy as a single bullet with multiple lines! use Keyboard Maestro to insert the break with a hotkey and also to copy-and-paste text from mails or whatever, inserting the line-breaks as required.ĭo you mean you have a script that inserts all the line breaks automatically? Or you insert them manually with the hotkey?Ī few hours later. I might do one for Firefox with the single one, and remember to press it twice the first time. I set up a keyboard shortcut of alt-enter with BetterTouchTool and "paste custom text" with the double linebreak as shown. I found that adding an extra ` ` makes it work for the desktop app and Vivaldi/Chrome: With all of them, it ends up with just one linebreak if you look at the exported OPML, so that's all good. With Firefox, I have to paste it twice at the end of the first line, and after that only once. Stuart, how do you access Workflowy? When I'm using the desktop app, I have to paste that OPML code twice before the cursor goes to a new line. Similarly there are ways to paste text either as multiple items or a single one, e.g. alt-enter to create a line break without starting a new bullet item. Nearly every other outliner I know of supports this, so I'm sure Workflowy could too. So it seems like Workflowy may already support embedded line breaks, but just lacks a way to actually enter them. Interestingly though, if the OPML uses escaped line break codes instead, as many do, Workflowy actually creates multi-line items when it's pasted. The same goes for compatibility when pasting in OPML from other outliners that do support embedded line breaks - if they are actual line break characters, currently Workflowy collapses them all into one line. ![]() One more example is pasting in blocks of text with paragraphs, where you don't really want it as separate items, nor inside a note. embedded line breaks, in one bullet item. I would also love the feature of multiple lines, i.e. And the above workarounds/features I long for do seem trivial I suppose, but would they be that hard to implement? I would really like to know. I effin love workflowy and will continue to use it for so so so many different purposes. So the feature request (or workaround option) is either making the notes manually collapsible/expandable, OR allowing some formatting within a bullet to be able to press ENTER and make a line break, as opposed to new bullet. ![]() I also agree with OP that the somewhat fainter font of the notes section, while helpful in many other areas around workflowy, takes away from users experience who use that section as a writing space primarily. The fact that the notes collapse when not selected is a problem for my personal workflow: It means I can't have multiple poems (notes) selected at once if I wanted to display them all together and copy/paste, or replace lines, or even just look at to gain some possible insight into deeper meanings or themes.Ģ. Their are still some things I can't quite get the hang of and would love some insight into figuring out a workaround or request as a future feature.ġ. However, as a song/lyric/poetry/screenplay writer as well. ![]() As well as copy/paste existing documents I have from elsewhere that contain line breaks/paragraph breaks/blank lines whatever you want to call them. Starting to get the hang of wrapping my head around it to think of the bullet as the title, and the note as the contents, allowing me to press ENTER while inside the note to make line breaks. Hello! I have been experimenting lots lately with using the notes feature in regards to achieving paragraph/line breaks within the Workflowy ecosystem. ![]()
