I want to start off be saying how much I love the 1.11 update! It’s fixed my biggest problem with the app. Which was the friction of adding short notes throughout the day, because long notes are for the PC! But there are a few additions that could put it over the top for me! One of them are below!
Use case or problem
When using the “Capture to Bookmark” IOS Shortcut command, you should be able to append to the bottom of a specific header. In the current implementation, you are only allowed to “append” or “prepend” to the entire note. This limits the amount of ways the user can structure/organize their note. This also makes it impossible to have several lists of different stuff in one note (e.g. shortcut actions that let me quickly enter fleeting thoughts into a “Fleeting Thought Section” and to-dos in a “To-dos” section).
There are more use cases that are niche so I won’t go into them, but I think the important part is having the control over where you want to put the information.
Proposed solution
Have a way to select a header in the “Capture to Bookmark” shortcut command. This could be optimized by having the user enter the header name, then the script would search the note then append after header. And if header is not found the shortcut either announces failure or silently fails.
This may lead to longer input times, but I believe it’s worth it for the people like myself lol.
Current workaround (optional)
The current workaround is using the “Actions for Obsidian” app and plugin that has this feature implemented. As much as I liked the plugin, it’s clunky (i.e. having to open the app, then obsidian, before finally closing everything). The 1.11 update is soo polished and so close to fully replacing they most useful features of “Actions for Obsidian.”
