New Note

Note

Start this with cadmus tools new

What does it do

This provides a dialog that sets the title, heading and filename of a note, offers tags to apply and offers fuzzy search for the appropriate directory to save the note in.

How Do I use it

After running the command multiple tags will be displayed, filter the tags by typing and use Tab to selet multiple tags and Enter to continue.

Next a directory list will be presented, search through the directories by typing in the name of a directory.

Finally a dialog to type in a name for the title, heading and filename (which will be made to be identical) will be offered, type in title:

  • Spaces are fine
  • No extension

The file name will be slugified with - and the extension .md will be applied.

When Would This Be Used

This is great when you want to quickly make a new note in the right place with the right tags.

Example

How does it Work

This just uses TMSU and Skim to choose the directories and tags.
