Additional information for notes #206

From Baidu Translator: I don't know if the author has such a plan to use a template to create new note. It can conveniently record the source link of inspiration, author, title, thoughts at that time, and so on. This suggestion may make the software "heavy", but sometimes it seems necessary, because many things are from other people, not original. In addition, when I want to use Ctrl+A to select the full text, do not select the title.

Thank you for the suggestions. The idea is good and I think it could be implemented without making it less intuitive to operate, so it wouldn't matter if the app is more "heavy". One question which arises is whether the user should be able to explicitely search for those meta tags (which indeed would make it more complicate). There are currently other features with more priority, but I will keep it in mind.

BTW when pressing Ctrl-A the whole text including the title is selected, just tested it in several different notes and checklists.

I'm sorry. This may be a misunderstanding caused by language habits. I mean, I don't want to select the title (and metadata). Most of the time, I just need the body.

Oh I see now, but this is the standard behaviour for the Ctrl-A shortcut in Windows, to select the whole text. Other users may expect exactly this behaviour, so I think it wouldn't be wise to change it.
