Folder actions (pin/add new file/rename/etc.) on the left sidebar

Feature requests
1

I’d love to see a feature where I can pin folders and sub-folders, so that they appear on the top. The star feature is nice but it only works on the documents and they’re in another tab.

I also have a few more requests that can make the usability better;

  • hover actions on folder : add file / rename.
    Currently the “add file” button places it inside the main vault and I’ve to manually place it in the folder each time. Hovering over a folder would reveal additional actions.
  • 3 dot menu instead of right click shows more actions
    I believe this will make it accessible to heavy keyboard users as well.

Just to make sure you know this, you can right click on a folder and select “new note” and it will be created in the folder you right clicked on.

Yes I’m aware, my idea for the hover action to create a new file was a replacement for right clicking.

I registered on this forum exactly for suggesting something similar.

I’m not a designer (just a front end developer), but I did an example changing a little bit what you suggested to put what I wanted:

This reduces to one click what I currently have to use two of them.

You can, however, drag and drop your “star” tab below your file list, for example - this way you will have your starred files always visible without changing any tabs…
