Feature Request: Allow stamps to be inserted in note titles

Open laurieboyes opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

Currently the command only works in the note body. I find it super useful to prefix my note titles with a datestamp and it’d be great if this worked there too.

Workaround: datestamp into the body and copy/paste into the title 😄

PS Love this plugin! Use it at least 5 times a day.

Hi @Gru80, I’ve got some free dev time tomorrow, would you be open to me having a go at implementing this?

Just thinking about it, I can see a potential challenge in that titles have rules about what characters can be included (e.g. no : characters) and there’d have to be some way of resolving this 🤔

Possibly the settings screen could give you some indication of whether this is going to work for titles? Something like:

Hm, I don’t love it, even it this is possible. Feels a little clunky and a lot of UI clutter for the sake of a relatively small enhancement 🤔 I’ll keep thinking about this

Actually it’d be a lot simpler to either ignore the command or produce some sort of alert when they attempt to enter an incompatible timestamp into the title 🤔 Or just convert/skip the invalid characters

Hi! Just installed the plugin, which I find very useful for now, except for the fact that I can't insert timestamps in note titles, has there been any progress for this feature?
