 Action and provider popups paint a popup-sized background using the launcher window’s gradient coordinates, keeping the glows continuous without showing the results underneath. Each opening rebuilds the complete native view and layer tree, rather than resizing a retained presentation between the footer and header. Callbacks and selection behavior stay in the controller. Layout finishes before the opening fade, including when switching popup types.

+The launcher, emoji picker, Notes, and Translate share `ActionPill` for footer styling, alignment, spacing, and keyboard indicators: primary action first, then Actions with separate Command and K keycaps. Notes uses Command-N for its primary action so Return remains available for editing; the other tools use Return. Controllers supply the buttons and retain their targets, enabled state, and popup behavior.
 
 The header’s trailing edge is constrained to the footer’s trailing edge. The translation provider pill and footer pill therefore share the same 8-point right inset and 36-point height.

-Search for **Conjure Notes**, identified by its centered 📔 icon, or assign it a global shortcut in Settings. **New Note** (Command-N) creates a note; the menu switches between notes, and reopening Notes restores the last selection. Each note’s first nonempty line becomes its menu title.
+Search for **Conjure Notes**, identified by its centered 📔 icon, or assign it a global shortcut in Settings. The title uses full-contrast text. The footer action pill offers **New Note** (Command-N) and **Actions** (Command-K), which opens a native note-selection menu with the current note checked. Reopening Notes restores the last selection. Each note’s first nonempty line becomes its menu title.
 
-Edit Markdown directly: headings, bold, italic, lists, links, inline code, and fenced code blocks are highlighted while the source remains visible. Paste images or use **Insert Image…** to embed a local image. Command-Z undoes edits; Command-Shift-Z redoes them. Undo history is cleared when switching notes so edits cannot spill into another note.
+Edit Markdown directly: headings, bold, italic, lists, links, inline code, and fenced code blocks are highlighted while the source remains visible. Paste images or drag image files into the editor to embed them locally; no file-picker button is needed. Return inserts a newline. Command-Z undoes edits; Command-Shift-Z redoes them. Undo history is cleared when switching notes so edits cannot spill into another note.
 
 Fenced code uses [HighlighterSwift](https://github.com/smittytone/HighlighterSwift) (Highlight.js) for language-aware token colors. Add a language after the opening backticks or tildes, for example `py`, `python`, `swift`, `js`, or `json`. Unlabeled fences use automatic detection; unknown languages remain plain monospace. Highlighting runs entirely offline.

-- [x] bugfix: the emoji picker currently doesn't scroll with the selection (arrows or ctrl+hjkl), only with mouse scroll.
-    - the window should scroll with the current selection
-- [x] make escape close the window that was opened, be it the application launcher, the emoji picker, or something else.
-    - clicking the "back" chevron should still take you back to the application launcher view though (as it does today).
-- [x] remove window open/fade in/transition animation when opening conjure from keybindings
-    - this is already the case for the application launcher window.
-    - evidently not the case for the emoji picker (though it should be ubiquitous)
-- [x] add a notes app inspired by raycast notes
-    - support multiple different notes
-    - support switching between notes
-    - highlight markdown syntax
-    - allow images
-- [x] put the border already in use on some elements around the emoji containers in the emoji picker.
