Steps to reproduce
I’m often in the position that I want to create a note in the folder the current note is in without wanting to use my mouse.
Creating a new note over the quick switcher doesn’t respect the default location for new notes (Same folder as current file) from Files & Links and always puts the notes at the root level of the vault, so I always have to drag it into the right folder manually.
I reproduced it in the help vault.
Expected result
I’d expect that the note gets created in the folder I’m currently in.
Actual result
The note gets created at the vault root.
Environment
- Operating system: Manjaro Linux
Additional information
Current workaround
The current workaround is to show the left sidebar and click on the create new note icon. That’s not optimal for keyboard-centric users, though.
Proposed solution
Either a toggle for it in the Quick Switcher Settings or a change in how the creation of new notes is handled from the Quick Switcher. I didn’t find any other requests/bug reports about it, so I think a toggle would be better because the current behaviour might be what other users prefer.
