It seems strange for the website to only give the Apple shortcut keys for a cross-platform app. It gives the actual keys when I run it on Linux, but I can't figure out what "Ctrl + ⌥ + Up/Down" means. Looks quite neat though.

"⌥" is "option" on a mac keyboard, which should usually be the alt key on linux/windows

This is awesome! I currently use numpad[0] for this, but would much prefer a local app. I would love to switch but the only thing holding me back is lack of Vim support. Are there any plans to add Vim keymap in the future? 0: https://numpad.io/

Not alt here apparently, or super.

Looks great. Quick question. When I started it up, Little Snitch immediately told me it made a connection to GitHub and currencies.heynote.com. Why does a scratch pad need to phone home?

Probably Github for autoupdate and currencies for current currency rates

I was expecting to not like this, but it's actually pretty cool. I love how simple it is and that it's not trying to replace everything.

I used to use the scratch buffer in Emacs all the time, and it is something I missed from emacs. I go between using Obsidian and Trillium for notes, but I'm going to try using Heynote for a scratchpad / quick notes type of thing and copy things from it if it's worth saving.

Maybe a feature request would be the ability to export a block? I wouldn't want it to be complicated so maybe just something like "Export block to command" and then the command could be a customizable curl command or some other command that copies stdin to another app.
