Starting zim in windows
For 0.68
$ cat ~/Desktop/zim.bat "C:\Users\kkusuman\Desktop\Zim Desktop Wiki Portable\zim.exe"
Then double click the zim.bat icon on the desktop.
Old instructions:
<Todo:- Add the version number if this is still relevant or delete this entry>
Create a batch file, zim.bat
start \Path\to\Zim\ZimDesktopWikiPortable.exe --standalone
Call it as something like zim.bat . Now open windows explorer and type the path of the batch script in the address bar. This will launch zim.
- <Ctrl><Space> <Ctrl>f
How it works: <Ctrl><Space> - switch to the side pane <Ctrl>f - Search in the page list
Prerequisites:

Edit -> Preferences -> Use <Control><Space> to switch to the side pane -> Check
scroll bar
I found that the scroll bar stops working intermittently. To work around this, try scrolling right on the scroll bar. Once this is done, the scroll bar works both on the scroll bar and on the window.
