Slash Commands & Keywords

LinNote uses keywords to switch modes and perform actions. Just type the keyword directly - no special prefix needed!

How It Works

  1. Type a keyword (e.g., list)
  2. Press Enter
  3. Action executes

Tip: Typing / opens a popup menu showing all available commands. But you can also just type the keyword directly without /.
