# Chapter 2. Usage

Just start KJots from the command line or from KPanel. It does not take any arguments.

Select 'file->New Book' to create a new book. Note that the name of the book has to be a valid filename. So don't insert characters like '/' into the name.

Open a book from the 'Books' menu. Then you may create new pages, delete old ones and scroll through the list of available pages.

With the horizontal scrollbar you may move to other pages very fast.

If you change from one book to another or exit KJots, all changes are automatically saved.

# 2.1. Hotlist

The hotlist is a bar of up to eight pushbuttons. Use them to switch between the books you need most often. You can add or remove books from the hotlist by selecting the respective menuentries. The buttons have a fixed width, so don't use names for the books that are too long.
