Choose default path (within a notebook) for new notes and their relative placement

Open edgimar opened this issue 7 years ago • 3 comments

Currently the "new note" option from the notification drawer defaults to using whatever notebook appears first based on the sorted list of notebooks. It would be convenient if it were possible to select a notebook and "path" within the notebook into which new notes should be stored.

For example, if you choose the path A/B within a notebook, then it would mean that the new note should be stored within headline B which is a sub-headline to headline A. If no path is specified, then just store the note as a new top-level headline.

Also it should be possible to set the behavior of whether to place the new note at the beginning or at the end with respect to whatever sibling headlines might already exist at the same level as the note headline.

You can already set the default notebook (but not path) in Settings / Notebooks / Default notebook.

@nevenz I'm aware of this, but I'm particularly interested in specifying a path since a common use-case (for me at least) is to have an INBOX headline within a single org-mode file that contains other top-level headlines where the tasks/notes within INBOX can be moved to if necessary.

Fyi it appears the default notebook setting is ignored for the "create new note" shortcut widget. The first notebook in sorting order is chosen.
