OmniFocus: Show/Hide Notes
A set of commands for showing and hiding notes.
NOTE: These commands are included in the full set of macOS menu item voice commands for OmniFocus. Do not install this set on macOS if you’ve already installed the full menu item set.
Scope and Syntax
Language: English (United States 🇺🇸 · Great Britain 🇬🇧 · Australia 🇦🇺 · Canada 🇨🇦) • Scope: OmniFocus
Command phrase variations (words in [brackets] are optional):
- “Show All Notes”
- “Hide All Notes”
- “Show Note”
- “Show Notes”
- “Hide Note”
- “Hide Notes”
IMPORTANT: On iOS and iPadOS, no two voice commands are allowed to have the same triggering phrase, even though the target applications are different. Both OmniOutliner and OmniFocus share identical commands for showing and hiding notes. On iOS/iPadOS consider using alternate trigger phrases for one of the applications to avoid conflict. For example, using “reveal” and “conceal”:
- “Reveal All Notes”
- “Conceal All Notes”
- “Reveal Note”
- “Reveal Notes”
- “Conceal Note”
- “Conceal Notes”
Requirements
- Application: OmniFocus 4
- System: macOS 12, iOS 15, iPadOS 15, visionOS 1.0
