I would like to simply drag my mouse and highlight a rem & be able to copy all the content within that rem (including all the contents, so the children, the children of the childrens, the images, tags & everything else) and then paste it where I would want. This feature is in other note-taking applications (Notion, Roam Research) and it makes RemNote a bit hard to use for me since I can’t reorder or easily move multiple rems (with their respective contents as well) as easily as a simple copy & paste command. Is there any works into adding this or is there something I can do to easily do the action? I know there is a “Move Rem To” command that easily does this, but I can’t find a way to move multiple rems easily & efficiently. Thanks.
Hello,
you can use CTRL+C or CTRL+X to perform what you ask
cheers
That does not work, it only copies the name of what I am copying, not the content within it. When I mean content, I mean the children that show up/disappear within when you expand/collapse
I could potentially expand all the rems under the “main” rem and then copy everything but it becomes a problem when there are many children (especially when I would have to expand those children as well). Ideally, we would have the option to copy a rem when all he children are collapsed without the need to select all of the children under it manually (so without first expanding the whole rem and expanding the children of that “main” rem). Notion and Roam have that option, to just simply copy a collapsed “rem” and all the children will be copied with it. I’m trying to figure out if I am missing something
You aren’t, rem have to be selected to be copied, and unfolded (visible) to be selected. Of course, you can always copy and paste a portal (ctrl+shift+e) to the parent, but that will transclude it rather than copy, i.e. any changes made to the portal are made to the original.
Why is this a problem? You can go to the father and press CTRL + SHIFT + ↓
All desendants will be unfolded instantly and can be selected by CTRL + A (press A until everything you want is selected).
If it’s a big REM, you can make it look tidy afterwards by only unfolding the direct children.
CTRL + SHIFT + ↑
That works, with mac it’s the command button instead of control. This works for small/medium-sized REMs! However, I tried it out with one of my “REMs” I am trying to transfer from Roam and it’s huge with thousands of REMs (from a college course textbook) and understandably it caused some problems. If I do that method with the big REM, it expands (even tho it starts slowing down RemNote) but it does not actually copy the REM, even tho it seems it highlights everything after pressing Command + A. With Roam Research, I am able to copy that “Rem” when everything is collapsed by highlighting the whole main “Rem” with my mouse. It’s hard to do this method with Big Rems if I need to expand everything first, my only option would be to copy that big REM by chunks but that would be extremely inefficient. I’m wondering if there is a way without expanding everything first.
Do you need the same information and the same REMs at two places?
An alternative would be to create a portal, as UMNiK suggested.
Or if you only need it at one place, you can move it with CTRL + SHIFT + M (on PC).
If it’s just a one-time operation, then you can also export the REM (the three dots on the top right of the REM and then Export) and afterwards import it again (Setting → Account → Import). Then you will have it twice in your knowledge base and can move the imported to the desired destination.
