The Kalem Book GitHub

This Book describes Kalem's main branch, which may be ahead of the latest release.

Starting

Command What it does
kalem An empty Org document, in the graphical editor or the terminal
kalem FILE Opens the file in the graphical editor, or in the terminal without a display
kalem FOLDER Lists the folder in the file manager
kalem gui FILE The graphical editor
kalem tui FILE The terminal editor (also kalem -t FILE)
kalem tui --detect What the terminal can do: colors, images, keyboard
kalem check FILE Command-line tools: see The command line

A file that does not exist yet is created when you save. Give it an extension, such as notes.org: a bare word is taken for a mistyped command. The editors open one file at a time (kalem a.org b.org stops with "one file at a time"); open the others from the editor, with Ctrl+O or the file manager, and they are listed beside the first.
