Shortcut to top/bottom of notecard from inside of notecard?

0bject · June 6, 2025, 9:26pm

I find myself editing a notecard and wanting to jump to the top or to the bottom. Is there a keystroke shortcut for these actions? Some softwares provide this with Ctrl-Home for top and Ctrl-End for bottom. thx

Hi @0bject,

Yep, you can use Ctrl / Cmd↑ or Ctrl / Cmd↓ to go to the top or bottom of a notecard whilst editing. I’ve made a note for us to add this in the Cheatsheet as well

Thanks, Tobias, but not working.
On a Windows laptop with an Up-Arrow key marked “PgUp”.

Tapping this Up key ticks the cursor up one line.
Holding Ctrl-Up also ticks the cursor up one line, but it’s subtly different. The cursor jumps to the beginning of wrapped lines. If a line has been wrapped 7 times, for example, then the cursor will jump 7 lines to the beginning of the wrapped segment. Behavior looks the same on both PC app and Chrome for PC browser.

Related, does Supernotes support HTML-style anchors? If so, I could create a ‘top’ anchor and a ‘bottom’ anchor. Then, use internal links to jump to the respective anchor.

Ah gotcha, that’s because Ctrl + Up / Down is using the default Windows OS behaviour – my bad I should of checked that. On mac, Cmd + Up / Down, the default OS behaviour is to bring you to the top / bottom. We generally don’t want to override the default OS behaviour.

How about just holding down the Ctrl + Up / Down keys? How long are these cards you’re editing?

These are sections of a short play I’m writing. I know Supernotes discourages longer docs, but it’s fun to use with lots of snappy features.

Does Supernotes support HTML-style anchors, and is this something you are considering?

If Ctrl + Up/Down would work without the default Windows shortcut, could I remap the Windows default shortcut? You don’t need to explain how, I can look that up.

Yeah we’ve been hearing that more and more. Lots would like to use our editor for longer-form writing as well. And yes we do support HTML anchors directly in the editor, although it’s experimental.

So you can <a href="#teleport">teleport</a>

... 

<a name="teleport">this is where you'll end up</a>

Remapping Windows defaults should also work, let us know how you get on!

The anchors work. Interestingly, the name and href attributes can be ‘nested’ within the same a-tag.
Top of notecard:
<a name="top" href="#bottom"> (to bottom) </a>

Bottom of notecard:
<a name="bottom" href="#top"> (to top) </a>

On the question of increasing the length (letter- or word-count) of note-cards, I’m personally all for it. But SN is so successful and useful, and fun, as it is that I’m hesitant to suggest any radical changes that might jinx it. (One possibility would be a specialized, longer card for capturing a blog article, for example, but lacks other features.)

Along these lines, there could be a type of smart divider or section header. It could act like an HTML-anchor. The user could jump to: —Section 1— , —Section 2—, —Section 3—, —Bottom—. This could also help journalers who mentioned saving multiple day-entrees within the same note-card. Just some ideas to think about. Supernotes is exceptional already.
