Configuration

You can customize key config and others by ~/.config/mumemo/mumemo.config.js.

module.exports.shortcutKey = "CommandOrControl+Shift+M"
/**
 * app is electron app
 * path is Node's path module
 * activeWindow is https://github.com/sindresorhus/active-win result
 **/
module.exports.create = ({ app, path, activeWindow }) => {
    return {
        autoFocus: true,
        autoSave: true,
        autoSaveTimeoutMs: 5 * 1000,
        // DEBUG,
        DEBUG: false
    };
}

UserConfig inteface is following.

{
  /**
   * Enable debug mode
   * Default: false
   */
  DEBUG: boolean;
  /**
   * Output dir path
   * if set the path, use the path instead of stored path
   * Default: use stored path
   */
  outputDir?: string;
  /**
   * Output content file name
   * Default: README.md
   */
  outputContentFileName: string;
  /**
   * Output image directory prefix
   * If you want to put images to same dir with README.md, set "."
   * Default: img/
   */
  outputImageDirPrefix: string;
  /**
   * format input by this function and append the result
   * Default: for markdown
   */
  outputContentTemplate: (args: OutputContentTemplateArgs) => string;
  /**
   * Auto focus when open input window

   */
  autoSave: boolean;
  /**
   * config for autosave
   * Default: 30 * 1000
   */
  autoSaveTimeoutMs: number;
  /**
   * if quoteFrom is clipboard, quote text from clipboard
   * if quoteFrom is selectedText, quote text from selected text
   * Default: "selectedText"
   */
  quoteFrom: "clipboard" | "selectedText";
  /**
   * Send key stroke when ready to input window
   * Note: macOS only
   */
  sendKeyStrokeWhenReadyInputWindow?: {
    key: string;
    shift?: boolean;
    control?: boolean;
    option?: boolean;
    command?: boolean;
  };
  /**
   * bound ratio for screenshot
   * Increase actual focus area using this ratio.
   * Default: 1.2
   */
  screenshotBoundRatio: number;
  /**
   * Max search count for related content that is included into screenshot result
   * The higher the number, screenshot size is large.
   * Default: 5
   */
  screenshotSearchRectangleMaxCount: number;

  /**
   * if the rectangle count is over, mumemo give up to create focus image.
   * Just use screenshot image instead of focus image
   * Default: 80
   */
  screenshotGiveUpRectangleMaxCount: number;

  /**
   * if the factor value is defined, mumemo resize screenshot image with the factor.
   * Retina display's the factor value is 2.
   * display size * factor value is the result of screenshot image size.
   * if you want to resize the screeenshot image size, set `1` to `screenshotResizeFactor`
   * Default: displayFactor's value

Recipes

No-UI notes

mumemo works with No-UI(User Integration).

The combination of autoFocus: false and autoSave: true that allow to save without user interaction.

  1. Press shortcut
  2. Preview the result in popup window
    • You can add a note if you want
  3. Close the window and save it after 3 seconds

~/.config/mumemo/mumemo.config.js:

module.exports.shortcutKey = "CommandOrControl+Shift+X"
module.exports.create = ({ app, path }) => {
    return {
        autoFocus: false,
        autoSave: true,
        autoSaveTimeoutMs: 3 * 1000,
    };
}

Change behavior by each app

You can change config by each app.

module.exports.create = ({ app, path, activeWindow }) => {
    // Note: macOS's activeWindow has owner.bundleId
    const isKindle = activeWindow?.owner?.bundleId?.includes("Kindle")
    return {
        autoFocus: true,
        autoSave: true,
        quoteFrom: isKindle ? "clipboard" : "selectedText"
    };
}

Resize screenshot size by screen size

When you use 4K display, resize screenshot size to 1/2.

module.exports.create = ({ app, path, activeWindow }) => {
    return {
        // If you use 4K display, resize 1/2 screenshot size
        // 4K display will be 2 by default.
        // so screenshotResizeFactor is `1` that equal to 1/2 size.
        screenshotResizeFactor: activeWindow?.bounds?.width >= 2560 ? 1 : undefined
    };
}

Motivation

I've liked to write note and capture the screenshot during reading a book.

This behavior take two steps.

  1. Capture the screenshot
  2. Go to another note application like OneNote and paste it
  3. Add a note about the screenshot(page)
  4. Back to viewer application

mumemo reduce the steps.

  1. Press key -> Capture the screenshot and save it
  2. [Options] Add a note if I want
