Things I have tried
Assigned hot key to Natural Language Dates: Insert the current date
when I use the hot key with the cursor in the note’s filename (e.g. “Untitled”) it inserts the date into the text of the note body instead of the filename. If I try to use @today as the filename it just interprets it literally and filename becomes “@today”
What I’m trying to do
I have daily notes in a folder called Journal.
I want to use a new folder to log activities with YYYY-MM-DD as the filenames for notes in this new folder. I don’t want to change my daily notes to this folder and as I understand it daily notes can only be created in one specific folder.
I would like to create new notes in the project folder with YYYY-MM-DD as their filenames. My hack is trying to create a new note in the folder, getting the default “untitled blah” and pressing a hot key to change this note name to the current date in the format above. Is there a more elegant way than hot keying the date in the body of the note and then cut/pasting it into the title??
Thanks!
