Movement
In history mode, swipe forwards and backwards through history. Use
TwoStep to go back past those pages that refresh you into the current
page. KEEP your finger on the screen when you move around the page or
you will trigger a history swipe. In context mode, swipe forward and
backwards through current context. LongPress anywhere on the main page
opens current context. This longpress can be toggled to enable clipboard
copying on the web page.
Contexts
ShortPress on list item opens page in browser. LongPress dialog:
Annotate, Remove, Rename, Share. Annotate associates a note file with
the node. In Annotate text window, touch window for keyboard, then
save (s) or quit (x.) Share sends URL, title and annotation to email.
"Manage Contexts" lists all contexts. LongPress dialog: New, Export,
Import, Delete. Export creates contextName.moda to sdcard. These
files can be imported into MoDa with Import.
Exporting Contexts
Contexts are exported to a plain text file in Android default external
storage directory. Exports include nodes (title, url) and their
annotations. You can share contexts by attaching them to an email.
Importing Contexts
Contexts are imported from the default external storage directory,
the same directory they are exported to. Mo Da will import all
context files found there, giving you a chance to rename any duplicate
context names. These are plain text files. You should look at them
in a text editor (try Amoeba if you don't have one) and make sure
the imported URLs will be harmless.
Creating and Editing Context Files
Context files have this form:
node
(lines of annotation)
blank line
node
(lines of annotation)
blank line
...
node
(lines of annotation)
blank line
Nodes are simply:
Title Words[tab character]URL
You can create context files or edit them in a text editor either
before importing or after exporting. Make sure the first node is on
the first line. Make sure there is a blank line before all other
nodes.
Blog Posts
Mo Da allows you to post to independent blogs. It comes with the
example for "Poor Richard's Alchemy." These kind of blogs
run Blink which runs
on any Unix server. Hitting "p" takes you to the blog list.
If you use "c" to copy the url and title to a link in the
clipboard, that clipboard entry will be pasted into your blog post.
Otherwise, whatever else is in the clipboard, say, from another app
you just copied something in, is pasted into the post. If nothing
is in the clipboard, the post begins blank.
You can create new blog bookmarks by choosing Add-Edit in the
blog context menu. Here you can enter a blog name for the list and
enter the raw URL of the blog CGI you are using. $TITLE is for the
title field, $TEXT is for the post field, $MONTH is 01-12 current
month and $SECONDS is the Unix call used for filenames in some blogs.
