How do I capture a quick thought or link?
Press ⌃⌥⌘N from any app, or choose File › Quick Capture…, then type and press ⌘↵.
- Press ⌃⌥⌘N, or choose File › Quick Capture…. Terra comes forward with the capture card.
- Type a Title, Notes, or both.
- To keep a link, copy its address and click Paste. Terra fills in URL and sets Source to Link.
- Add Tags if you like, separated by commas.
- Press ⌘↵ or click Save. The note goes to Inbox.
Shortcut: ⌃⌥⌘N opens it from any app. ⌘↵ saves, Esc closes.
Other ways
- Right-click an empty part of the window and choose Paste as note to turn your clipboard into a new note in Inbox.
- Add Quick capture to the toolbar with Customize toolbar….
Good to know
- A library must be open.
- A captured link keeps the address, not the page. To keep the page's text, use Save to Terra in Terra's browser.
- Pasting with ⌘V into a field adds plain text. Only the Paste button recognizes a link.
- Choose Email or Message under Source to note who it came from.
