QuickAdd Plugin

Hi @richardm. I am working on a video guide to QuickAdd, which should help.

In the meantime, here are the necessary steps.

  1. Grab the script from this page. This can be done in multiple ways:
    1. By clicking the ‘Raw’ button, and then saving the ‘page’ (CTRL+S on Windows, probably command+S on Mac), or
    2. Copying the file contents and saving it as getLongLatFromAddress.js. The .js is crucial.
  2. Save the file to somewhere in your vault. It doesn’t matter where, as long as it’s in your vault.
  3. Open QuickAdd settings, and then click ‘Manage Macros’.
  4. Enter a macro name (I call mine ‘Mapper’), and click ‘Add macro’.
  5. The macro should appear. Click its ‘Configure’ button.
  6. There will be 3 input fields. Place your cursor in the one besides ‘User Scripts’, and it should display a suggester. Assuming you have no other .js files in your vault besides the one we just grabbed, it should be the only one shown. Either way, you’ll want to click it, and then click ‘Add’. It should get added as number 1.
  7. Go back to the QuickAdd main settings. Add a new choice with a name of your choosing. This choice should be a Macro choice, which can be selected using the dropdown next to the ‘Add Choice’ button. Add this choice, and then
  8. It will appear on the list of choices. Click the :gear: (gear) button for it, to configure it.
  9. Select the macro you’ve just created.
  10. Go back out of the QuickAdd settings. You can now run QuickAdd with the Run QuickAdd command in the command palette. The Choice you’ve made should appear.

When you activate the Choice, please do note that you need to be in the file that you want to activate it for.

I hope this helps :slight_smile:
