User mentions
Type @ and start typing a name or handle. Select from the suggestion list. The mention renders as a chip with the person’s name.
Click a user mention chip to see their profile and a button to search for all notes mentioning that person.
Profile setup
Set your name and @handle in Settings → User. Handles support letters, numbers, and underscores (max 20 characters). Your profile syncs through the storage directory so other users can @mention you.
Profile presence
When you use NoteCove, your profile is written to {SD}/profiles/{profile-id}.json. This file syncs across devices and makes you visible in mention suggestions for anyone with access to the same storage directory.
