[Feature Request] Open Normal Search at Specific Folder Path

See original GitHub issue

Hello @tadashi-aikawa !!!

My FR is related to open the AQS at a specific folder path

๐Ÿ“ธ Something like this: 8388816C-CB0F-46FF-8F43-9195AFA6E19E

My Workflow

My entire vault is folder based. I use Johnny Decimal folder strategy to organize the content of my Vault

๐Ÿ“ธ Folder Structure DA247667-AD5C-40A7-BB4B-8CED46165B93

My folder 10 Sources stores the content that capture from Books, Web Articles, Videos, Podcasts and Twitter

๐Ÿ“ธ Folder 10 Sources 63927ADC-4779-407A-A9EA-B0BD51B3F124

To make easier for me to navigate between specific wotkflows/commands for each one of the Sources, I create these QuickAdd Modals with hotkeys โŒ˜+1,2,3,4,5 to easy access:

๐Ÿ“ธ Books Commands List 30A58BB1-2B98-4942-8FB4-636B7FF37C0C

As you can see highlighted, I have a command to open the Books folder 10 Sources/11 Books

  • This is my FR ๐Ÿ˜ƒ ==> Be able to open AQS Normal Search with 10 Sources/11 Books/ inserted in the text modal ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

My FR

Be able to open the AQS Modal at a Specific Folder

1๏ธโƒฃ My humble idea is to have a section in the settings that lets the user define relative folder path that will open AQS with the folde path in the text field:

๐Ÿ“ธ FR EFE437F3-6570-43B6-8E2D-7F02CA57E6E1

2๏ธโƒฃ Each folder path defined in the settings will be a Command form the Command Pallete

Something that looks like the plugin Hotkeys for Template or Hotkeys for Specific Files

  • Let the user define specific files that can be opened from the command palette.
Another Quick Switcher Normal Search at {{folder path}}

๐Ÿ“ธ Hotkeys for Specific Files - Settings 4B5A2313-06F8-4D8E-9603-AA55A94D4151

๐Ÿ™ For users that rely on folders to organize the content in the vault, its very difficult to filter content when you already know folder that the note that you are looking for.

This would save us a lot of time ๐Ÿ˜ƒ


Thanks for reading this !!! I hope you like my suggestion ๐Ÿ™ ๐Ÿ™ ๐Ÿ™

Let me know if you need more information !!!

Have a great day ๐ŸŒž
