Add "Go to" shortcut #885

Closed sloria closed 4 years ago

Describe your feature request

An increasingly popular pattern in editor apps is the ability to fuzzy-find items with a keyboard shortcut (usually Cmd+P or Cmd+T). It would be useful to have something similar shortcut in FSNotes for fuzzy matching files and folders.

Additional context

As an example, here's what the Cmd+P menu looks like in Notion:

I'm unsure whether FSNotes should search...

  1. Everything
  2. Folders and files
  3. Folders only
  4. Folders and tags

Personally, I'd like the ability to jump to folders quickly, so I'd rather have number 3 or 4 if it meant that the search would be noticeably faster than 1 and 2, but this is not a strong preference.

I do this already using Cmd+Space and my Alfred workflow: https://github.com/glushchenko/fsnotes/wiki/Alfred-Workflow

I'm not using Alfred. I prefer to use a hotkey to focus a given application (configured with BetterTouchTool) then use the application's "go-to" shortcut. Example: Option+n,Cmd+P.

My point is: you can help yourself and get this done right now using third party tools. Or you can wait for it to be added to the app - which could potentially be forever if it's not a popular feature request.

Dupe of #402, October 2018.

Ah, I missed that existing issue--sorry for the noise. I'll 👍 that then.

I appreciate you sharing workaround, even though I don't plan to use it.

No worries at all!
