The File Tree and Multi-Folder Workspace

The file tree in the sidebar is where you open and manage the files you're working on.

Opening folders

Choose File → Open Folder… (Ctrl+Shift+O) to add a folder as a root in the sidebar. typealot supports a multi-folder workspace — you can open several folders at once and work across them. If no folders are open yet, the sidebar reads No folders pinned. Use File → Open Folder to add one.

Pinning (bookmarking) a folder

Each root folder has a bookmark button. Bookmarking a folder pins it so it won't be closed accidentally (Bookmark (prevent closing)). An unpinned folder also has a small × to Remove from sidebar.

Working with files and folders

• Click a file to open it; click a folder to expand it and select it. (The selected folder is what the Current folder scope in Find searches.)
• Rename inline: right-click → Rename…, type the new name, and press Enter. The file extension is preserved.
• Right-click a file for: Rename…, Copy, Duplicate, Convert to Markdown (for convertible types), Delete…, Encrypt… / Decrypt…, plus New File and New Folder.
• Right-click a folder for: New File, New Folder, Rename…, Delete…, Paste, and (on a root) Reveal in File Explorer.
