Tree manipulation

This page describes how you can manipulate the note tree - specifically moving notes.

Drag and drop#

You can manipulate the tree simply by dragging and dropping notes as you can see in the demo:

Keyboard manipulation#

Trilium provides fast keyboard based manipulation with following shortcuts:

• CTRL-UP and CTRL-DOWN - move note up or down in the order
• CTRL-LEFT - move note upwards in the hierarchy by changing a note's parent to note's parent's parent.
• CTRL-RIGHT - move note downwards in the hierarchy by setting parent to the note currently above (this is a bit hard to explain - it's best to see a demo or try it for yourself)
• LEFT and RIGHT expands and collapses a sub-tree

Context menu#

You can also move notes with familiar cut & paste from context menu or associated keyboard shortcuts CTRL-X (cut) and CTRL-V (paste).
