Aliases are powerful way to create multiple views of the contents of your notebook. Mori aliases are a re-implementation of MORE’s and Leo’s clones command. Any change to an aliased entry, including changes to its children, will be reflected to all other aliases of that entry. To make an alias of an existing entry.
- Select an entry and choose Edit > Make Alias.
- Or select an entry and choose Reorganize > Move Alias To and select a parent for the aliased entry.
- Or begin dragging an entry and then hold down the Control key while dropping.
Entries that have aliases display a small arrow badge over the entries icon. Use the menu item View > Go To > Next Alias to reveal and select the next alias of the selected entry in your notebook.
One way to use aliases is to gather a bunch of existing entries together into a common location in your notebook. For example lets say that you are using your notebook to organize and write a book. Your might organize the text into chapters, and then sections within those chapters. But then lets say that you want to gather together all of the text related to a particular character in the book. You can use aliases to do this. Here’s a demonstration notebook that does this.
The text is organized into Chapters and sections. And then there is a folder for the character “Jesse” that contains aliases to all sections where Jesse appears.
