Create a way to have a keyboard shortcut for the calendar note views in NotePlan: Monthly, Quarterly, Yearly, etc. #475

Closed danieldanilov closed 1 year ago

danieldanilov commented 1 year ago

NotePlan currently provides keyboard shortcuts for some views: e.g. today, tomorrow, yesterday, and this week.

However, there is no way to quickly navigate to "this month", "this quarter", or "this year" and similarly "next month", "next quarter", "next year", and even potentially "last month", "last quarter", "last year".

The only way to do that is either to navigate by clicking, or by looking up the specific month/quarter/year in the command bar.

This is a problem for users who choose to use only specific views. For example, using only Daily, Monthly, and Quarterly means that I cannot easily navigate to 2/3 of the views I use consistently.

It's worth noting that it's also not possible to write "this month", "this quarter", "this year" etc. in the command bar either. The specific month/quarter/year itself must be typed out (although, for the "Year" part, this is less of an issue, because you just type out the 4 digits and it's usually the first result).

A solution I'd love to see is have these options become menu items that users can manually assign keyboard shortcuts for. This could be part of a plugin, but eventually, I think it should be part of the core product.

I originally asked about this in Discord

Thank you!

I will pick this up, but you also want to press for Eduard to add it into the main app.

@danieldanilov Agreed that @EduardMe should add these to the app as menu items. In the meantime, you could just do this with keyboard shortcuts and x-callbacks.

Ah, great, thank you! I tried to find a way to link to them, but could not find the generic way to open the current month/quarter/year. Thank you for that! I'll use them for now in my workflows.

OK, I've added new commands to NoteHelpers plugin: "Show This Month" (alias /stm) "Show This Quarter" (alias /stq) "Show This Year" (alias /sty) which can have keyboard shortcuts, though the aliases are very easy. To be released soon.
