### Use case or problem

I set ctrl+m as a hotkey for moving a note, since I do this quite frequently. Very often I’d like to move a note to a folder that does not exist. Hitting the hotkey and typing in the folder path complains: “No folders found.”

### Proposed solution

I propose that an option be added (alongside the arrow key, enter key, and escape key hints) for ctrl+enter in the move dialog that creates the path and moves the note.

### Current workaround (optional)

Manually moving the mouse over to the (frequently collapsed) sidebar and doing some right clicking+typing+confirming+repeating for each needed folder
