Reference Drawer The Reference Drawer is a simple outline drawer that provides a location to stash small tidbits of text-based information. The Reference Drawer is an application-wide data store -- no matter which pad you open the drawer from, it's the same drawer. All data entered into the Drawer is saved automatically. The reference drawer uses the same Disclosure Triangle logic as List Views do in the Finder, with the addition of a "+" control on each item that adds a sub-item to that item. In the example above, clicking the "+" next to General Science would add a new item at the same level as the existing New Item, while clicking the "+" next to "Air" would expand the list of items under Air and append a new item ready for input. For keyboard-intensive users, there is a help panel available by clicking the ? button. This help panel provides numerous keyboard shortcuts that work in both the Reference and To Do outline drawers. Indeed about the only thing that you can't do with a keyboard shortcut in these drawers is open the keyboard shortcut help panel. One basic shortcut is that pressing Enter or Return generally does what you would expect -- if you are editing an item, it ends that edit and creates a new item ready for input. If you have merely selected an item, pressing return or enter makes it editable. Combine those shortcuts with the arrow keys and you have pretty complete keyboard navigation without needing to learn much. If you delete the entire contents of an item that doesn't contain other items, it will be automatically deleted when you leave the item. The Reference Drawer has Undo for most operations that actually change the contents of the drawer. Items can be deleted from the Drawer by selecting them and pressing the delete button, or by dragging them to the Trash. The Reference Drawer stores your information in an XML file inside the Jotz folder. The contents of the Reference Drawer is not searched by any of Jotz's search facilities.
