The Notes App lists the files of /notes by their first line, newest first:
n starts a note, Enter opens it, r renames its file, d deletes it after
asking, s sorts by name. A new note's file is named after its first line.
The editor wraps at spaces, 38 columns by 8 rows; Fn+arrows move through
the wrapped text, Ctrl+A and Ctrl+E go to the ends of the line. There is no
save key: the note is written five seconds after the last key, on Back, on
leaving the App, when the screen turns off and before the device powers
off. A save writes a temporary file and puts it in the note's place; a save
cut short is put back, or offered, the next time.
A note is up to 16 KB, held in one buffer reserved when it's opened: the
file is read straight into it and typing never makes it grow. A failed
allocation aborts on this device, and with IRC connected the largest free
block is about 31 KB: a first version that copied the note once on loading
restarted the device when a full note was opened with IRC connected.
Editing files of any size is #47.
The Storage App's text viewer gets `e`, which edits a text file up to 16 KB
with the same editor unless the file is read-only.

The Storage App browses the SD card: folders first with sizes and dates,
three sorts, one item at a time with a clipboard (c, x, v), rename, delete
after counting what's inside, new folder, details. A listing holds 256
entries and says when a folder has more.
FileOps does the card's work for the App and the console alike, one
operation at a time on the storage task in turns of about 150 ms, so Logs
and Captures are still written during a long copy. A copy shows progress,
can be cancelled (what it wrote is taken back) and compares sizes after.
The read-only rules are checked there: the firmware's top-level folders,
/gemini/cache, and files being written (a Track, a Capture, an upload,
today's IRC Logs). A listing reads the folder straight from FatFs: through
the Arduino File, 329 entries took over two seconds.
Viewers by type: text read a screen at a time whatever the file's size
(logs open at the end), a hex dump, a Capture's packets as the LoRa Scanner
lists them, a Track's summary, and an Update File checked as an install
would check it, without writing anything. Tab shows any file as hex or text.
Settings > Storage is gone: usage, Storage Clean-up and Erase are the App's
Maintenance, behind a warning. The Storage Warning points there.
The Clock sets the system time whatever its source, so files are dated
correctly with a GNSS Fix alone (Q137).
Console: cp, mv, mkdir, du, cancel; rm takes folders and follows the rules;
ls shows dates; Debug Builds get `sd fill`.
