10### Listing Notes
11
12**Interactive TUI** (default):
13```sh
14noteleaf note list
15```
16
17Navigate with arrow keys, press Enter to read, `e` to edit, `q` to quit.
18
19**Static list**:
20```sh
21noteleaf note list --static
22```
23
24**Filter by tags**:
25```sh
26noteleaf note list --tags research,technical
27```
28
29**Show archived notes**:
30```sh
31noteleaf note list --archived
32```
33
34### Reading Notes
35
36View note content with formatted rendering:
37
38```sh
39noteleaf note read 1
40```
41
42Aliases: `noteleaf note view 1`
43
44The viewer renders markdown with syntax highlighting for code blocks, proper formatting for headers and lists, and displays metadata (title, tags, dates).
45
46### Editing Notes
47
48Open note in your configured editor:
49
50```sh
51noteleaf note edit 1
52```
53
54Noteleaf uses the editor specified in your configuration or the `$EDITOR` environment variable. Common choices: `vim`, `nvim`, `nano`, `code`, `emacs`.
55
56**Configure editor**:
57```sh
58noteleaf config set editor nvim
59```
60
61Changes are saved automatically when you close the editor. The modification timestamp updates to track when notes were last changed.
62
63### Deleting Notes
64
65Remove a note permanently:
66
67```sh
68noteleaf note remove 1
69```
70
71Aliases: `rm`, `delete`, `del`
72
73This deletes both the markdown file and database metadata. You'll be prompted for confirmation. This operation cannot be undone, so consider archiving instead if you might need the note later.
