Cursor placement when creating new note from shortcut

[cosmogrammar]

Hello all.

I don’t remember this being a thing in previous versions of Obsidian (maybe it was?)… but, when I create a new note from shortcut (on Mac: Command+N), the cursor is placed in the first space of the main field by default. To title the note, I must click to select “Untitled” in the title line.

I would much prefer that the cursor be placed with “Untitled” selected by default, so that I can type a title without having to click and then “tab” to reach the main field.

Are others experiencing the same thing? Any way to fix this? I am working off the core new notes shortcut in Obsidian 1.0.0. Thanks in advance.

I’m on 1.0.0 also, and when I create a new note with CMD N it highlights the entire inline title (when enabled in Appearance settings) of “Untitled”, and I can just type the new title name.

Except when I’m using a Templater template with a tp.file.cursor(n) in the template.

My solution or work around I guess, is to simply prompt for a title name using Templater

<%* 
let title = tp.file.title
if (title.startsWith("Untitled")) {
    title = await tp.system.prompt("Title") ?? "Untitled"
    console.log("Renaming note to: " + title)
    await tp.file.rename(title)
} 
%>

Looking at the code, I see a small bug…this will throw an error on the rename if no title is entered, as “Untitled” will already exist.

The forum won’t let me edit it, so I’ll post a correction once I test it, in a bit.

Ah, I have inline title disabled. Maybe I just have to re-enable it to get to work again?

However, I would suggest to the devs that highlighting “Untitled” in the title line should be the default behavior with inline title disabled!
