Mind Palace — how it works

A canvas-only wiki: write anywhere, link words to sub-pages, save lives entirely in your browser's IndexedDB. Export regularly.

Ctrl+B / Ctrl+I / Ctrl+U: Bold · Italic · Underline
Floating toolbar: Above any active note: B / I / U · • List · 1. List · Size · 🔗 · 💬
- + space: Auto-converts to a bullet list at the start of a line
1. + space: Auto-converts to a numbered list
Tab inside list: Indent to sub-bullet · Shift+Tab to outdent
Empty bullet + Enter: Exits the list

Type "?" inside a note: Auto-bolds red and registers a Question entry
❓ Questions (header): Browse every "?" across pages — each entry shows the sentence written before it
Click a "?": Jump to the source page and flash the marker
Hover a "?": Shows the captured sentence in a floating tip

Select text + Ctrl+K: Open the link prompt
Select text + 🔗 button: Same thing, mouse-driven (floating toolbar above selection)
Type page name: Autocomplete from existing pages, or "+ create" a new one
↑ ↓ Enter: Pick a suggestion in the prompt
Esc: Cancel the prompt
Click a link (not editing): Navigate to that page
⨯ Unlink: On the floating toolbar — removes link, keeps the text
Orange dashed link: Page exists but is empty (you haven't written anything on it yet)

V: Select tool (default)
H: Hand tool — drag to pan the canvas
Shape button (▭▾): Dropdown with all shapes: Rectangle, Square, Ellipse, Triangle, Trapezium
R / E / T: Quick keys for Rectangle / Ellipse / Trapezium — drag on the canvas to draw at any size
Shape click (no drag): Drops a default-sized shape at that spot
L: Line — click start, click end (or drag) to draw a freehand line
Selected shape: Drag corner handles to resize, top knob to rotate (Shift = snap 15°)
Selected shape / line: Floating dark popover lets you change outline colour, fill colour (∅ = transparent), and weight
Selected rectangle: Popover adds a Radius slider — drag to round the corners (0 = sharp square)
Selected trapezium: Popover adds a Slope slider — drag to change how steeply the sides angle in
Selected line: Drag either round endpoint handle to reposition that end
Selected line: Popover ◀ / ▶ buttons toggle an arrowhead on the start or end
A: Arrow — click source note, then target note
Click empty (in arrow mode): Cancel the arrow

▦ button: Opens a small prompt — pick rows × cols (1–20 each), tick "Header row" if you want one, hit Enter
Click inside a cell: Edit that cell · Tab / Shift+Tab to jump to next / previous cell
Enter inside a cell: Adds a new line within that cell (not a new row)
Floating table toolbar: Appears below an edited table — buttons to insert a row above / below the current cell, insert a column left / right of it, or delete the current row / column
Esc / click outside: Commit and exit edit mode
Formatting inside cells: Select text → floating toolbar works as usual (B / I / U · lists · link · comment · size)

Ctrl+Z: Undo — last canvas change (move, add, delete, resize, colour, rotate)
Ctrl+Y / Ctrl+Shift+Z: Redo
↶ / ↷ buttons: Same as keyboard, in the canvas toolbar
Inside a note (typing): Ctrl+Z is browser text undo — exit edit mode (Esc) first for canvas-level undo

Hand tool / Space+drag / Middle-mouse: Pan freely in any direction — no edges
Wheel: Vertical pan · Shift+Wheel = horizontal pan
Ctrl/⌘ + wheel: Zoom toward cursor (trackpad pinch works too)
Two-finger pinch: Touch pinch zoom
Ctrl/⌘ + / −: Zoom in / out from centre
0: Reset view (100% at origin)
1: Fit all notes to view

Sidebar tree: Pages shown as a tree rooted at the home page — each page's parent is the first page found (from home) that links to it. ▾/▸ collapses subtrees. Searching flattens to alphabetical matches.
☰ (header): Toggle the sidebar on/off (Ctrl+\). Drag its right edge to resize; double-click the edge to reset width.
Orphans: Pages unreachable from the home page appear in a separate section at the bottom
🕸 Graph (header): Full-screen node-link map of the wiki. Drag background to pan · scroll to zoom · click a node to jump.
+ New: Create a blank page by name
Page title (toolbar): Click to rename any page (including the home page) — all links to the old name get rewritten
Delete page: Removes current page (the home page is protected — rename or pick a new home first if you want to delete it)
Breadcrumb: Recent navigation trail in the header — click any to jump back
← / → (header): Browser-style back / forward through pages you've visited this session (Alt+← / Alt+→)
Home button: Jump to the home page (whichever page is currently named as home)

Ctrl+K: Link prompt (if text selected in edit mode) — otherwise focus sidebar search
Ctrl+S: Force-save (auto-saves on every change anyway)
Alt+← / Alt+→: Back / forward through your page history this session
Ctrl+\: Toggle the sidebar on/off
?: This help (button in header)

🏛 (header, top-left): Click to switch palaces, create a new one, rename or delete existing ones. Each palace has totally isolated pages, comments, accent colour and name.
+ New palace: Enter a name — id is derived from the name (e.g. "Reading notes" → reading-notes). Switching reloads the page so each palace gets a clean editor.
Rename / Delete: Hover a row in the palace popover for ✎ / 🗑 buttons. Renaming updates both the display name and the in-canvas wiki name. Deleting requires confirmation; the last palace can't be deleted (a fresh one is created if you delete it).
Wiki name (h1): Editing the big title in the header renames the current palace.
URL hash: The active palace is reflected in #palace=<id> — bookmark a palace to jump straight into it.

Export: Download the current palace as a JSON file (filename includes the palace name)
Import: Replace the current palace from a previously-exported JSON
