100.0. "Please use the keywords!" by DSSDEV::EPPES (Dignity, always dignity) Thu Mar 12 1987 17:36

    I just mentioned this in a reply to another note, but I decided it also
    needs its own note, so here it is:

    Let's use the keywords!  There are a number of keywords defined for this
    conference, but not many notes have keywords attached to them!  Please,
    when you enter a note, check the list of keywords (type SHOW KEY) and add
    the appropriate one(s) by typing ADD KEYWORD keyword-name. Keywords really
    makes it a lot easier to find specific topics, since titles aren't always
    descriptive enough.  We've got this wonderful tool; let's take advantage
    of its wonderful features!

100.1I'll second that motionCOOKIE::JOHNSTONThu Mar 12 1987 20:1310
Here, here, Nina!

I'm a lazy person who likes to avoid extra keystrokes.  So I printed
the keywords, made a reduced photo copy of them, and taped them near my 
terminal so that I would always see them.  The flourescent yellow
highlighter all over them helps remind me.

    How do you print the keywords?
    
    Making a hardcopy to tape to the side of your terminal is the
    only way to do it...
100.3Do it in BATCHSEAPEN::PHIPPSFri Mar 13 1987 09:0227
>    How do you print the keywords?
    
        You can do it in BATCH. Try the following command file:

        $ notes/nono closet::document_ft        ! The /nono is so
                                                !  you won't miss
                                                !  an unseen note.
        show keywords
        exit
        $ exit

        To submit the file type:

        $ submit/log=[]keywords.lis keywords

        You then edit keywords.lis which is the log of the BATCH job and 
        get rid of everything but the keywords.

        Of course you can replace "document_ft" "'P1" and add 
        "/parameter=[notes_conference]" to your command line. Then it 
        should work for any VAX Notes Conference. Too bad more of them 
        don't use keywords.

        By the way, you don't have to be the author of the note your 
        reading to ADD KEYWORD [keyword] when reading a note.

    Thanks, Mike.  If you went to all that trouble maybe you still have
    the edited list, and would like to post it as a note, which we all
    could then PRINT with a PRINT command!
    
    I would have spent a half hour reading the HELP on NOTES to try
    to figure out how you tell NOTES to print out the list of keywords.

100.6On the other hand...SEAPEN::PHIPPSFri Mar 13 1987 12:308
        Of course the moderator should post any new ones that come up.

        I should point out before the VAX Notes developers get on my
        case that using SHOW KEY has advantages. It can be used by going
        up and down the list with KP5 and KP2 respectively. Once you find
        the one that fits, type KP7 to add it to the note.

100.7momentary memory often fails meCLOSET::KOHLBRENNERFri Mar 13 1987 15:1610
    Well, it's a choice of taping the keypad diagram to my
    terminal or taping the list of keywords to my terminal.
    Or trying to remember which order to show them in, and
    which I would rather remember - the keyword, or the keypad
    key.
    
    Sigh.  A prompt for keyword(s) would be nice.
    
    I taped the keyword to the terminal, that way all I have
    to remember is the command ADD KEY. ? I think it's ADD KEY ...
