Description

  • Use Case: Assigning templates whenever I create a note requires quite some keystrokes through the command bar

  • The idea would be to assign a template to a note before creating said note so it can pick a target template:

  1. Create a Note from wherever you want (daily note or not)
  2. Include a keyword in the note title. eg "Dashboard {{meeting}} with @jgclark"
  3. Note is created with {{meeting}} template and you can start typing right away
  • The alternative of using /nn is cumbersome for people like me who prepare their daily tasks, etc... the night before (also applies to weekly planning after a weekly review). /nn seems to be a more on-the-go solution and still requires to prompt the command bar.
  • The idea is to allow people to create notes in any folder they want knowing that whenever they click on said note a template will be added to it.

Research direction

Start by tracing the existing /nn command-bar note-creation flow and how templates are selected. Define how a keyword in a note title maps to a template and verify that notes created in any folder receive the matching template before editing begins.
