# HeyNoterm

HeyNoterm is a scratch pad for the terminal, designed to help you quickly jot down notes, commands, and ideas while working in the command line.

## What is HeyNoterm?

- A minimalistic, terminal-based scratch pad.
- Organize your thoughts in discrete blocks of text.
- Syntax highlighting for code snippets (Python, Markdown, etc.).
- Math evaluation mode for quick calculations.
- Persistent JSON storage (saved by default to `~/.heynoterm.json`; see **Custom State File Location** below) so your notes survive restarts.
- Context-aware block operations: add, delete, move, split, and change language on the fly.
- Dark-mode toggle and on-screen help overlay.

## Features

- Add new blocks (`Ctrl+N`), delete blocks (`Ctrl+D`), split blocks (`Ctrl+T`).
- Navigate between blocks (`Ctrl+J` / `Ctrl+K`).
- Change block language (`Ctrl+L`): Python, Markdown, Math.
- Real-time math evaluation in math mode.
- Persistent storage of all blocks in a state file, by default `~/.heynoterm.json`.
<!-- - Toggle dark/light mode (`D`). -->
- On-screen help (`Ctrl+/`) listing all keybindings.

## Installation

We recommend using **uv** to install and manage HeyNoterm, but you can also use **uvx**, **pipx**, or **pip**. Homebrew is not supported.

1. Using uv (recommended)
    ```bash
    uv install heynoterm
    ```

2. Using uvx
    ```bash
    uvx heynoterm
    ```

3. Using pipx
    ```bash
    pipx install heynoterm
    ```

4. Using pip
    ```bash
    pip install heynoterm
    ```

After installation, run HeyNoterm with:
```bash
heynoterm
# or via uv:
uv heynoterm
# or via uvx:
uvx heynoterm
```

## Usage

1. Launch the app: `heynoterm`
2. Type freely to add content in the current block.
3. Use keybindings to manage blocks and switch modes.
4. Press `Ctrl+C` to exit.

All your blocks are automatically saved to a state file (by default `~/.heynoterm.json`). See **Custom State File Location** below to change the storage location.

## Custom State File Location

By default, HeyNoterm stores its state in `~/.heynoterm.json`. You can override this behavior using command-line options:

- `-l`, `--local`: Use `./.heynoterm.json` in the current working directory.
- `-s <path>`, `--state <path>`: Specify a custom path for the state file.

Examples:

```bash
heynoterm -l
heynoterm --state /path/to/my_notes.json
```

If you install via  `uvx`, pass options after `--`:

```bash
uvx heynoterm -- -l
uvx heynoterm -- --state /path/to/my_notes.json
```
