- Copy any data you want to use in your new note to the clipboard.
- Either press the key combination you set for making new notes, or…
- Choose New Mental Note… from the Mental Case status item in the menu bar on the right.
- Mental Case should come to the front, with a new note created in the Loose Notes stack.
- Edit the note.
To create a screen capture note:
