### Operating system

macOS

### Joplin version

3.2.13

### What issue do you have?

Is there a way to move a note to another notebook from within the app without using the notelist? Due to being on a laptop with limited space, I'd like to not use the sidebar or notelist. It seems like I should be able to view what notebook my note is in from within the note view, and change it from there. There is a whole note section in the toolbar, but it's missing an option to move the note to another notebook. I also can't seem to see what current notebook a note is in in the note properties.

Am I missing something?

Also given your setup it would makes sense to open the notes through "all notes" section from the sidebar. This will allow to show the notebook name under the note title in the editor panel -- blue button on the screenshot

You don't need to keep sidebar visible, merely switch to all notes during app launch, then hide sidebar and keep working on the notes.

Alternatively there's a tabs plugin that shows notebook info on editor panel
