Notes: edit a text file of any size (#47)
The editor held the whole note in memory and stopped at 16 KB. It now keeps a window of the file around the cursor, and the rest on the card as a list of pieces (notes::NoteDocument). Memory with a note open is what it was. Up to 64 KB a save rewrites the file, as before. Above, the five-second save appends what changed to <note>.edit, and the file is rewritten on leaving the note, with a progress bar. After a power cut, opening the note picks the edit up where it was saved; a rewrite cut short is finished or dropped, never half applied. Also: Ctrl with Fn+Up/Down go to the start and end of the note; the consoles' `key` command takes ctrl-, alt- and shift-; the Storage App's `e` no longer refuses a big file.

|
||||
1. **A name `key` does not know is `select`.** `key sleect` presses Enter. A single character is typed as that character; anything else that is not a known name is treated as Enter. Check what you type.
|
||||
2. **A key that wakes a dark screen only wakes it.** The device's power policy swallows the key press that turns the screen back on, as it does for the real keyboard: the first `key` after the screen went off does nothing else. Send `key back` (harmless) first, or keep the screen on with the `normal` and `short` commands below.
|
||||
|
||||
`Fn` combinations, modifiers and the compose key have no command: the arrows are `key up|down|left|right`, and `key back` is the back key (`` ` `` on the device). Text is typed one character at a time.
|
||||
**Ctrl, Alt and Shift** go before the name: `key ctrl-down`, `key alt-up`, `key ctrl-b`, `key shift-alt-down`. `Fn` combinations and the compose key have no command: the arrows are `key up|down|left|right` (what `Fn` with `;` `.` `,` `/` gives on the device), and `key back` is the back key (`` ` `` on the device). Text is typed one character at a time.
|
||||
|
||||
**`key help` opens the help panel** (<kbd>Fn</kbd>+<kbd>h</kbd> on the device): the keys of the screen that is showing. A screenshot of it is the quickest way to learn what a screen accepts, and it is how every screen's list was checked. Any key but the arrows closes it.
