![]() ![]() In the settings, choose whether you want a new pane to be opened on write and set up any additional settings as desired.Ĭhoose either my or TfTHacker’s shortcuts as a starting point. To use the shortcut, first, install and enable the advanced URI plugin if you have not already. It will automatically insert anything on the clipboard or any shared content (sharing requires additional setup in the shortcut menu after installation). The iOS shortcut allows the user to enter text in the default iOS input editor and then open a new note in Obsidian with the note contents and a pre-formatted template. templater templates for archiving/moving and trashing before moving to next file in folder (for best results, assign the template to a hotkey using the hotkeys for templates plugin).keyboard maestro shortcut ( Obsidian Quick capture.zip (1.6 KB) does equivalent quick capture as iOS, also requiring the Advanced URI plugin).iOS shortcut based on this shortcut designed by TfTHacker that creates a new dated note with contents entered on the go (requires Advanced URI plugin).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). 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.
