For the Zettelkasten method it is paramount to be able to easily start a new Folgezettel / following note when writing. I would therefore like to have a feature, where one can use a shortcut to
create a new note in the same folder as the current note
put links at the end of the previous note and the top of the new note, linking each other
I think for the Folgezettel it is important to have both directions as ‘hard link’.
One can of course do this by hand already, but it would be more convenient to just press some shortcut.
This routine is easy to implement in some keyboard automation program like AutoHotkey(on Windows) except detecting “the same folder”, which would be solved by implementation of Command/hotkey to copy full path into clipboard
keywords: macro, Keyboard Maestro
Update: Necessary commands for implementation of this are available since Obsidian Release v0.8.13.
URL scheme for opening automatically created note in Obsidian by macro (AutoHotkey / Keyboard Maestro) is available since Obsidian Release v0.8.15.
@WhiteNoise I do not mind. If @MrBubu, @jeroen, @santi or other voters still want it, I think it could be at least recategorized as a “plugin idea” since the requested specific sequence of steps can be composed from already available commands by a plugin or even by AutoHotkey.
@Jaroslove I did not learn to create Obsidian plugins yet.
In AutoHotkey I would most likely just simulate sequence of otherwise manual steps. (triggered by custom hotkey)
I personally do not have need to implement this. But if more people are interested and no one can build the plugin, then I could compose AutoHotkey workaround if you need it.
