Lightweight note-taking app for the terminal.
What sets this note-taker apart from others is that this one has a fixed size for the notes. You cannot write more text than can fit in the editor screen. This is to encourage brevity and to keep the notes short and to the point.
Users should make a folder for each topic and then put notes within that folder. Then, they can use the Ctrl+UpArrow and Ctrl+DownArrow shortcuts to navigate through their notes in that folder. This makes finding information easier and faster, and it helps keep the notes organized. No scrolling in the editor allows you to see the entire note at once and not have to worry about other content being hidden much further down in the note.
I recommend using the One Half Dark theme on wt.exe (windows terminal).
The two most important shortcuts are Ctrl+UpArrow and Ctrl+DownArrow, which are used to navigate through the notes in the current folder. This works on both the tree and editor. Here are the other shortcuts for both the tree and editor. Press Ctrl+H to see these shortcuts in the app.

Notes:
A dash and a space on an empty line will auto-indent
If auto-capitalize is on and you don't want the first character to be capitalized, hold shift while typing the first char to make it lowercase
AutoColorVocabDefinitions will only activate if the text prior to the colon is within the first third of the screen
Do not use Ctrl+V to paste! This is handled by the terminal, not by NoteWorthy. Ctrl+V formatting might mess up as a result.
- Use Alt+V instead!
If you have some text selected in the editor and want to clear the selection (not delete, just unselect), press the escape key.
If you want to add color with Ctrl+(B|U|I) to your selected text, you have to do Ctrl+Shift+(B|U|I) instead. Ex: Ctrl+Shift+B will toggle the primary color in the selected text
