Global Quick add to todays notes

Ability to press a global macos shortcut key (much like global command bar) or maybe even have ability to add in command bar, but basically append a quick note or task to today (sort of how Things global add works). Example: I press some keyboard shortcut os-wide. Either command bar or a different popup comes up. I type something like * to this > today (enter goes to another line so i can type multiple and cmd+enter saves and appends the text i wrote into today's note). NotePlan has been updated and the feature list is rich, but this is the last thing that will allow me to ditch things / todist, etc. Really hope you all vote for it. It's one of those things, you'll use it once you know it's there.

Does CTRL+CMD+J do something you need here? Or whatever is in Preferences>Shortcuts

Yes, 100%. I think I was able to make something work with an extension ("/qatn" or something like that) but it wasn't adequate to quickly capture a passing thought. As an example, I can quickly create a 'task' in TickTick on macOS by hitting Cmd+Shift+A. That brings up a Command Bar esque one line interface that supports natural language for due dates, folders, etc. While there, I can `tab` to the Description field that supports multi-line for the task details. I use it all day, every day. Being able to do the same for notes in NotePlan would change the game.

Yes, I agree. A frictionless approach to adding something to the today note on the desktop OS. This could also include: I select something on a web page or a local PDF and this would be pasted in the today note. See also the Mem Spotlight function.

I'd love this as well. I use the Quick Capture plugin commands extensively, mapped to keyboard shortcuts. But I have to switch to NP before I can issue them. I'd love to get past that.
