Copy as quote hotkey

Good day, Folks

I’m having a hard time navigating the realm of hotkeys. I’d like to bind a hotkey to Copy as Quote.

I’ve tried Templater with a script. I’ve tried Advanced URI to trigger the script.

All I want to do is read, copy as quote (using a hotkey) and paste into a note.

Any ideas on this?

Thanks

On my installation, I do not have a function “Copy as quote”. If you have a literal “Copy as quote” command on your system (check in the command palette), then it may have been provided by a plugin. As soon as you have the command there, you should be able to assign it a shortcut key with the standard procedure.

There is a standard function “Toggle blockquote”. That could be bound to a hotkey. Then, pasting a paragraph as a quote would involve just two hotkeys. When multiple paragraphs are pasted, they first need to be selected in order to turn them into a quote.

What failed in your templater attempt, and what would you like it to do instead?
