Universal Entry is an entry to nearly everything by just typing. Each built-in entry has a unique character as the Entry Key. Type the entry key, then type the command, the command will be passed to that entry.

To call out the Universal Entry, just press Ctrl+G.

A screen cast of Universal Entry:

1. Full-Text Search

VNote now comes with built-in full-text search! You could call out the search dock by Ctrl+E C or Ctrl+Alt+F.

VNote provides many advanced search functions, such as && and || logical operations, fuzzy search, and regular expression. The search could target different objects, such as name and content, note and folder, and so on.

2. Enhanced Export

Now you could export several notes into one PDF via wkhtmltopdf. You need to download wkhtmltopdf yourself (the version built with patched Qt is preferred).

Besides wkhtmltopdf, VNote now enables Custom export, which means you could use whatever tool you like to export (or process) your notes. An example about how to export notes via Pandoc will be available soon in VNote's documentation.
