Layouts and Saved Views

Your Books can be a sortable table when you’re logging ratings, a gallery of covers when you’re choosing what to read next, and a Kanban board grouped by reading status. Every layout reads the same typed data; switching layout changes only how it’s drawn, never what’s queried.

Choose a layout

Open a Type’s page and pick a layout from the layout menu, or use its shortcut:

Layout	Shortcut	Best for
List	Ctrl+1	Scanning and bulk actions: sortable, multi-select, fully keyboard-navigable.
Wall	Ctrl+6	Compact cards.
Kanban	Ctrl+3	Moving Objects between columns by dragging. Switching to Kanban with no grouping set groups by Collection, with an Others column for Objects in none; you can group by any groupable property instead.
Gallery	Ctrl+5	Visual browsing: one cover image per Object, or a placeholder in the Type’s color.
Table	Ctrl+2	Editing many properties inline, one row per Object, with sortable headers.
Embed	Ctrl+7	Reading and editing bodies in place: each Object is a row that expands to its editable body, one at a time.

Calendar and Graph are separate destinations rather than layouts. See Calendar and events and Graph and related content.

Time-oriented views

• Daily notes: the built-in Daily Note Type holds one Object per day. Press Ctrl+Shift+D or select Today in the sidebar to open today’s.
• On this day: in the Calendar’s Agenda view, the expanded day gathers every Object whose date or date-time property falls on that day.
• Upcoming: your reminders, bucketed into Overdue, Today, This week, Later, and Dismissed.
• Tasks: tabs for Inbox, Today, Scheduled, Status, Context, Tags, Open, Deadline, Recurring, Completed, and All, with quick add and inline completion. Completing a recurring Task rolls its date forward automatically.

Working views

• Discussions: comment threads across the workspace, grouped by Object. See Comments and discussions.
• Tabs: several Objects open at once, with pinned tabs. Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab cycle through them, and Ctrl+W closes the active one.
• Trash: deleted Objects, which you can Restore or Delete permanently, one at a time or in bulk.

Save a search as a Query

A Query (sometimes called a Saved View) is a saved TQL search plus the layout you view it in. Create one with Save as Query on the Search page, then open it to add filters, sorting, or grouping. Queries are Objects, so you can rename, link, or delete them like any other. See Search and the command palette.

All default shortcuts are listed in Keyboard shortcuts.

Next: Query language (TQL), which explains how these views select their data.
