No matter how I seem to type in journal:note, it always inserts a memo instead of a new markdown file. I also don't see an auto-complete option like in the .gif.

MacOS 10.13.6 VS Code 1.25.1 vscode-journal 0.9.0 vscode-journal-view 0.0.14

journal:note is a command, which you have to enter in the command palette, see also here: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/userinterface#_command-palette. You open it via ctrl+shift+p

You cannot create a note using the input using the journal's smart input (for the lack of a better name ;), which is opened by the Ctrl+Shift+J shortcut. Any text you enter which is not recognized as date or task will be printed as memo to today's page.

I updated the docs.

Great! Thank you - user error in not knowing what the command palette in VS Code was.

On this page, it'd be helpful to have the ctrl+shift+P command listed, as seeing just the ctrl+shift+J shortcut is what caused my confusion here.
