Interface overview

The Resomark window has three parts from left to right. The sidebar on the left lists your Workspaces and files. The editor in the middle shows the file you have open. The Inspector on the right shows this file's info and history when you need it. The toolbar is at the very top, with the tab bar below it. When these help pages use these names, they mean the places described here.

Press ⌘\ to show or hide it. It has two kinds of page:

• Home: Favorites, Unsaved Files and Workspaces. The sidebar is here by default when no file is open in the window.
• Folder page: what you see after you click a Workspace. From top to bottom: Changes (only when something changed), Favorites, Pinned Folders, All Files. Click Back to Home at the top to go back.

As you scroll down a folder page, a path of parent folders appears at the top; click a level to jump back to it. File name colors show changes: green for added, red for deleted, yellow for modified. More in What is a Workspace.

Markdown files show their formatting as you write. Code and plain text have line numbers and syntax highlighting, and PDFs, images and web pages are displayed as they are. See Editing with Live Preview and Which files Resomark opens.

Sometimes a bar appears above the file:

• Review bar: appears when the file has outside changes waiting for you. It says Changed Externally, with a count, up and down arrows, and Revert File and Keep File. See Keep and revert.
• Preview bar: appears while you preview an old version in the Inspector's History. It has Cancel and Restore. See History of a single file.
• Find bar: appears when you press ⌘F.

A floating outline strip sits to the right of the text; click it to see this document's headings.

On the right of the toolbar are two buttons: Info (⌥⌘I) and History (⌥⌘\). Click one to open the Inspector on that page, and click it again to close the Inspector.

• Info has two pages, Details and Outline. Details shows Statistics (word count, characters, lines and more; click one to keep it shown at the bottom of the editor), backlinks and outgoing links, and the file's size and creation and modification dates. Outline lists the headings; click one to jump to it.
• History lists this file's earlier versions. See History of a single file.

The buttons you'll use most are Back and Forward, Search (⌘P), Show Diff (⇧⌘D), Info and History, plus the More menu. In the More menu:

• Customize Toolbar…: add, remove and arrange buttons. You can also open it by right-clicking the toolbar.
• Hide Toolbar on Scroll: when you scroll down the text, the toolbar and tab bar tuck away.

Each tab is an open file. Resomark uses the tabs built into macOS.

• Open and close: ⌘T opens a new tab and ⌘W closes one. ⇧⌘T reopens the tab you just closed; press it again to bring back earlier ones, one at a time.
• Switch: ⌘1 to ⌘8 go to that tab, ⌘9 goes to the last one, and ⇧⌘[ / ⇧⌘] move to the tab on the left or right.
• Switch by recent use: ⌃Tab and ⌃⇧Tab switch in the order you last used your tabs, with a thumbnail of each tab in a floating panel, regardless of their order in the tab bar.
• Back and Forward: ⌘[ / ⌘] move between the files you've looked at in this window, as does swiping left or right with two fingers on a trackpad. Press and hold the toolbar's Back button to list the files you've viewed.
• More than one window: ⇧⌘N opens a new window. Window > Merge All Windows turns all windows into tabs of one window; Move Tab to New Window, or dragging a tab out of the window, makes a new window from it.
• When you reopen Resomark, your last windows, tabs and positions come back. Each window remembers its size and the width and open or closed state of the sidebar and Inspector, separately for when the sidebar is shown and when it's hidden.
