Use case or problem
I often use the shortcut Control+T to create a new tab.
This is a habit from other tabbed applications such as Notepad++ or web browsers.
This leads to the creation of a “new note”.
However, I might open it, then refrain from writing an actual note.
Yet, unlike in Notepad++, new empty notes are not deleted when their tab is closed.
It is a hassle to remove those empty new notes. It takes at least two steps: finding the empty note back, and removing it. The other workaround, of course, is to set up a shortcut for file deletion, and memorizing it.
If I do nothing, I find myself with a heap of “new note 1.md”, “new note 2.md”, etc. each numbering 0 bytes, that clutter my vaults.
Proposed solution (similar to Notepad++)
when closing a tab,
if contained.file starts with “%defaultNameForNewNote”
and if contained.file is empty,
then delete file,
and in any case, close the tab.
