Create a note
The creation command chooses a location in the notes folder, creates an open Untitled note, and opens it for editing.
Why it matters
Section titled “Why it matters”Obsidian’s standard new-note command does not know which notes folder Tasks Eye reads or which frontmatter makes a note immediately actionable. The Tasks Eye command supplies both while leaving the result as ordinary Markdown.
Folder selection is the only prompt because the note title can be decided while
editing. Tasks Eye generates Untitled.md, adds a numeric suffix when needed,
initializes the note as open, and opens it immediately. The notes folder root is
the default capture location; notes left there are reported in Inbox until they
are moved into a context folder. Users who want faster capture can assign the
recommended hotkey to
Tasks Eye: Create note in
Obsidian’s Hotkeys settings.
