Minor options that cut out time....

Submitted by d.bloomers on Sun, 07/20/2008 - 15:13.

I am a "quick-click junkie." It would be awesome if Mental Case added the following features...

1) Chemistry Symbols/Special Characters Toolbar Icon Option
- I often use Mental Notes for Chemistry. It sometimes becomes too time consuming with repeatedly adding the subscripts & charges, switching back to the "character" box, scrolling down through all of the various number styles...etc. Perhaps, a category could be designated for "Chemistry Symbols," which would include subscripts, charges. Additionally, if we had the ability to set, in "Preferences" a frequently used character category, providing the option to set it as an icon in the Mental Case toolbar.

2) An "Undo" Icon
- "Undo" icon in the Mental Case Toolbar (similar to that of the Office program).

3) Drag & Drop Feature
- the ability to drag and drop mental notes when moving them to another case.

By no means am I complaining about Mental Case. It is a fantastic program and has truly been my most reliable study partner! Thanks!

1) I think the chemistry symbols is a bit specialized, but we will add formatting options in the future, which should make it easier. Note also that you could create your formula in another application, and take a screenshot for mental case.

2) An 'Undo' icon is also a bit of a strange request on the Mac. MS probably do it, but that is probably because it is common on windows. If you want fast Undo on the Mac, I recommend just hitting command-Z.

3) This feature should already be in there. You can select and drag notes from one case into another case in the left sidebar, and they should move there.

Thanks for the feedback.
