looks like notepad2 provides shortcuts for expand/collapse and navigation, but nothing for move up/down/left/right?
it would be nice if there were a file conversion tool just to convert a plain-text tab-indent outline file to OPML format. no need to do the file/open or file/import, followed by file/save as or file...
I should note that it's pretty easy in Ecco to import from a plain-text tab-indented outline, and to export to the same format.
1. Make a new notepad just to hold the text you're going to import.\

installed and modified the settings, and now I see my test text file with proper indentations, and +/- symbols for "parent" lines. I can expand and collapse by clicking on the +/- signs.

thanks Alexander. I've been experimenting with Notecase Pro just now. When I opened up my test tab-indented plain-text outline file - either by File/Open or File/Import - it all appears as a single ...

here are some results of my quick experimentation:

thanks anyway!

been experimenting with Infoqube ... it has an import option for OPML but none for a plain old tab-indented text outline. I tried cutting and pasting the tab-indented text but the indenting (i.e. the...
dr. andus - we'll see how Pierre replies on the "inline notes" question, but I think the answer is no. By "inline notes" I think you mean text which is not an item or subitem, but which is rather "at...
article - simplenote alternatives

http://shawnblanc.net/2013/01/simplenote-alternatives/
thought this article might be of interest to some - rather detailed account of the journeys of a Notational Velocity / Simplenote user.
What steams me about UR is how earlier versions won't work in the next version of Windows. That is, to continue working with UR when you've upgraded to a new version of Windows, you'll have to pay mo...
For what it's worth, the Master-Seeker programmer is a 33 year old from Belgium, and the alternate Master-Seeker website is in Hebrew. Are sensibilities different over there perhaps - just asking? H...

just looked at the webpage, $55.95 is pretty steep!
Your description gave me an idea; perhaps it has already been implemented by somebody.
A utility could monitor text that is input, and record comm...

Thanks very much to all who have replied - your replies led me to look more closely at some of the programs you mentioned (particularly Acute Notes, Sense, Whizfolders, and Scrivener). I was really t...

I got tired of PhaseExpress not working and having to restart it to get it to work, i.e. to insert the autotext when I typed in the appropriate abbreviation.
I have switched over to AutoHotKey for en...
Here's a screenshot of the AcuteNotes program that Alexander mentioned.

We all know the standard format of most two-pane outliners - you have a tree pane that contains names (titles, subjects, etc) of items, arranged in the usual indented hierarchy. You also have an view...
