Verified feature request does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

💻

  • Would you like to implement this feature?

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

I would like to be able to create more descriptive notes.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

Minimal version would be support for multiline notes.

Ideal solution would be support for markdown (with tables, headers, links, and all ^_^).

I would like to get a Markdown editor similar in behavior to Obsidian in live preview mode, but this may be asking much.

Teaching and learning

Probably hover on the note field showing the whole note.

I don't know how to show it while using the keyboard, maybe some shortcut?
