For me, this might mean trashing a grocery list that I’m done with, moving the note to a project folder, linking the note to a set of open questions, rewriting the note as a permanent note, etc. By implementing quick capture scripts on iOS and mac, plus templater scripts for quickly archiving, trashing, or moving a note and then opening up the next note to process, I can quickly process notes in my inbox as needed. However, there is some friction when creating a new note compared with Drafts (it is not quite as fast, especially if plugins need to be reloaded, and it doesn’t automatically create a new note on launch), and there isn’t a great way to quickly process a series of notes in a folder, having to manually drag notes or use several keystrokes in order to move using the command palette. Now I am trying to learn Obsidian and not only does it have a mobile app for quick capture but it also has a folder structure that can be used as an inbox for future processing. It was like I was putting some of my fleeting ideas in a system that would never be resurfaced. However, when I did enter my notes, I listed them all on my daily notes page, and wasn’t particularly good about making sure those ideas were put to good use in my future work. Before starting with Obsidian I would process my Drafts notes as needed, and totally clean things out once a week on Sundays and enter them into my note taking system (Roam Research). One of the things I love about Drafts is how fast it is to launch and jot down a quick note, and how it has a convenient global hot key on mac that automatically creates a new note whenever something comes to mind. This could be anything from ideas about a specific problem I’m having on a project, writing ideas, or random things like grocery lists. I have a lot of ideas throughout the day that I have historically used Drafts app to keep track of. I’ve created a video that demonstrates the workflow to give you a better sense of what I am talking about in the post. In this post I’ll describe my motivation and how to set up a system like this for yourself. The goal of this system is to quickly capture ideas as they come up, but also process them thoroughly so they get put to good use on my projects (or trashed so they don’t clog up my system). You just specify clicking in a location so many pixels removed from the position of the upper corner of the window itself.Hi all! I’ve recently been learning Obsidian and in collaboration with TfTHacker I have developed a set of shortcuts and custom scripts to allow me to quickly capture my thoughts, tasks and ideas on iOS and on mac, and then process those notes quickly using custom archive, trash, and move commands that work just like processing your email box. Then if the dialog window that you describe is considered the frontmost window, you do not have to worry about where on the screen it is. One thing to note with mouse clicking, there is a way to specify as location relative to the upper left corner of the front-most window. As a general rule, if you can figure out how to do a task only using key strokes, then that is the better way to address the task with KM rather than having to specify mouse clicking. Type a Keystroke - Shift-Tab -> jumps back to to the Network Password field Type a Keystroke - Tab -> jumps to the Verify Password field Type a Keystroke - Tab -> jumps to the Network Password field Insert Text by Typing - Whatever your user name is So the KM script might be something like. Often Shift-TAB allows you to move back up a field. You can experiment to see it that is the case in this instance. Often the TAB key can used be moved from one field to the next field (input box to input box) in a dialog such as you see.
