Note-related Features

Table of Contents

Create a new Note

on or triggered via hotkey: Create a new note.

  • File Name: Anything you type after the keyword on (e.g., on foobar) will become the filename of the new note (e.g., foobar.md). (Note that the Filename Heading Sync Plugin may interfere with this.)
  • Content: You can select a template note to use for the new note with the workflow configuration template_note_path. Be aware that the template will be ignored when you use Folder Templates from the Templater plugin. Any {{title}} placeholders in the template will be replaced with the name of the file.
  • Location: The new note will be placed in the folder specific in the workflow configuration new_note_location. If the configuration is left empty, it will be placed in your vault root.
  • This command also works when Obsidian is not running (in which case it will open Obsidian after note creation).
  • When triggered via hotkey, will append the current selection.
  • If you have set the workflow configuration use_quickadd to true, this command will instead trigger the QuickAdd Plugin. Anything you type after the keyword on (e.g., on foobar) will be passed to search the QuickAdd choices. File Name, Location, and Content will be determined by QuickAdd and not this workflow.

Scratchpad

oo or triggered via hotkey: Append to your Scratchpad Note

  • Quickly add text to the note set in the workflow configuration scratchpad_note_path. (This command is basically a quicker version of the fn + ↵ mode of the Alfred-based Quick Switcher.)
    • When using oo foobar, will append foobar to the note.
    • When triggered via hotkey, will append the current selection.
    • When you append #foobar to scratchpad_note_path (e.g. Inbox/Scratchpad-Note#Thoughts), the text will be added below the heading "foobar" located in that note.
  • The text set in the workflow configuration scratchpad_append_prefix will be inserted in front of the input text.
  • If the workflow configuration open_after_appending is set to true, will open the scratchpad afterwards.
  • 💡 Using - [ ] as prefix and inserting below a specific heading enables you to add cards to a Kanban Board.

Daily Notes (deprecated)

od: Open & Append to today's daily note [settings].

  • Either open today's daily note or append to today's daily note.
  • This feature works without Obsidian running, since when appending, your daily note will not be opened.
  • Use cmd + ↵ to open your daily note after appending to it.
  • This does not require the Daily Notes plugin to be enabled.
  • For now, the daily notes must be exactly in the format YYYY-MM-DD for this feature to work.
  • Using the workflow configuration daily_note_path, you can set the location of your daily notes inside your vault.
  • The text set in the workflow configuration daily_note_append_prefix will be inserted in front of the input text.

ℹ️ Since I do not use daily notes myself, I find it hard to maintain continuously improve this the daily note feature, which is why I am deprecating this. I encourage you to check out the Alfred workflow for Obsidian by hauselin, which focuses on daily notes and complements this workflow quite nicely.
