iPad超方便記事本：Nebulous Notes

Nebulous Notes是我在iPad上使用的記事本，除了能跟Dropbox同步，它提供的自訂巨集能改造鍵盤，能有效提升輸入速度，因為能自訂，因此我們可以把常用的按鍵（如上下左右等方向鍵）、常用符號（如→、【】等）或Markdown語法使用的字元等，都放在鍵盤上；5.0版的鍵盤甚至把原本一列的巨集列變成多列的了。太多列鍵盤不是把編輯區都佔滿了嗎？自訂巨集按鍵列能設定多列，但只會顯示一列，按住巨集鍵盤往上或往下拖，將要顯示那列移到系統鍵盤上方就可以了。



分列用的巨集符號是$separator，只要在巨集清單裡加入$separator就會換行，以前用來跳按鍵位置的$hop()已經取消了。

預設的巨集如下（取材自http://nebulousapps.net/manual/5.0/）：

Special Insertion Macros

• $dfmt lets you add a custom time stamp. I recommend adding it, and then editing out what you don't need.
  
• $paste will put whatever text was in the clipboard into the doc
  
• $tab(n) will tab the text n-spaces
  
• $untab will backspace any tabs
  
• $sel will be substituted for the current selection (and leave the inserted text selected).
  

Cursor Macros

• $bottom moves the cursor to the bottom of the document
  
• $cursor will put the cursor at its location after the macro has been inserted
  
• $del deletes the next character (as opposed to backspace)
  
• $down moves the cursor down a line
  
• $left moves the cursor to the left
  
• $lword moves the cursor one word to the left
  
• $right moves the cursor to the right
  
• $rword moves the cursor one word to the right
  
• $select selects the current word and keeps your selection in-tact when you move the arrow keys
  
• $top moves the cursor to the top of the document
  
• $up moves the cursor up a line
  

Utility Macros

• $separator divides your macros up into multiple rows of macros that you can scroll through
  
• $find lets you add a search bar
  
• $undo undoes
  
• $redo redoes
  

可惜巨集還不能與一般文字合用，因此像「{}$left」這種組合就無法使用。
