[FEATURE REQUEST] Add option "Insert after text" to Captures

Open Lulullia opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The "Insert after line" option is great, but for editing Dataview inline fields, it's not very practical.

Describe the solution you'd like The same functionality as "Insert after line" but that doesn't make a new line, it inserts the capture right after the specified text.

It would be even better if there was a toggle to control whether or not to delete anything that was previously there, so that updating Dataview fields can be done even more easily.

Additional context Ex. Insert after text "Content :: " would result in Content :: mycapture With the option to replace any existing value, it could look like this: Content :: oldvalue then after running the command: Content :: newvalue

It's also useful for metadata that will only be updated once, usually right after creating a new note from a template, that would greatly speed up workflow when combined to macros (I'm working on a macro where I create a new file from template then "initialize" it)

Also, please make it available even when "Capture to active file" is enabled, otherwise it'd be pretty useless... like #73 .
