Create a note

The creation command chooses a location in the notes folder, creates an open Untitled note, and opens it for editing.

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.

  • The command is registered without a default hotkey.
  • The folder picker offers the notes folder root and its descendants, but nothing outside the configured folder.
  • The notes folder root is the default choice.
  • Selecting a folder immediately creates Untitled.md; collisions receive numeric suffixes such as Untitled 1.md.
  • The created note starts with status: open frontmatter.
  • The new note opens immediately in Obsidian for editing.
  • A note created in the notes folder root appears in Inbox until it is moved into a context folder.
