## Selecting A Note

Click on any note to select it. If a note is already selected, it will be deselected and the note you click will be selected.

In outline and chart view, shift-click a note to extend the current selection to include all the notes between the selected note and the note you shift-clicked. In map view, shift-click simple adds the chosen note to the current selection.

⌘-click a note to add that note to the current selection. ⌘-click a selected note to deselect it.

Click in the background of the view to deselect all notes, or press ^⌘⌥-A (Edit ▸ Deselect All).

## Renaming A Note

To change a note’s name, select that note. Then

- Press ⇧⌘-Return and enter the new name, OR
- Click on the title and hold until the edit cursor appears, OR
- Edit the title in the right-hand pane

If you wish, Storyspace may compute the display expression in place of displaying the same name. For example, a container of tasks might display the number of tasks remaining to be done. Display expressions are entered in the Title pane of the Inspector (⌘-1).
