Add "Append task"

[mikejongbloet]

Feature idea:

There are two 'quick capture' problems I'm trying to solve - quick capture a note and quick capture a task.

It would be amazing if it were possible to either specify two templates, or if I could set up a second quick capture command somehow.

Do you have any thoughts or guidance?

Thank you

Thinking a bit more about this, what I'm actually looking to do is "Append to note" where I can specify a string to be appended and a note.

Hey @marcjulianschwarz -

I've developed this locally on a fork of your repository. The command does the following:

• Takes a path setting to select a note
• Takes a task string and a date as arguments
• Takes a heading argument
• Appends the task to the selected note

I'm not an engineer, but I kind of know my way around a little.

What I'm not sure about is how to send it to you for consideration to merge in. Raycast suggests I run npx ray publish but I was a bit concerned that would publish the addition without your approval.

I then tried pushing a branch to your repository to open up a Pull Request but got a permission denied message.

Would you be able to point me in the right direction?

p.s. one thing that confused me a little was that the fork I pulled from your git repo didn't have arguments in the JSON manifest. In adding the new command I've also added in arguments for the other tasks in that manifest.

Hi @mikejongbloet,

this looks nice. Could you please push the local branch to your own github profile? You can then open a pull request in the forked repo.

Hey @marcjulianschwarz…I think I've done that…I've not contributed to a repo before but I followed Githubs forking and PR documentation and I think it's worked.

Let me know.

Thanks Mike
