Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

In emacs orgmode, there is a very nice feature, one can use helm to search for all notes in the directory, but also if nothing shows up or moving the cursor one step up, you can add new note, which makes sense like "if there is no available note, create it!"

Describe the solution you'd like

as previously stated, the create new note should fuzzly search the previous notes so user can decide if he needs to create new note or navigate to existing one

Describe alternatives you've considered

Yes, but which notebook will this note be in?

[sardnar]

good question! Here is my 2 cents. Actually when I create new note using the extension, for some reason it defaults to particular notebook! so maybe the best solution here that the new note directory is selected also on the fly as this will save time to ensure that I am at the right location.

Again refering to how orgmode works, when you search for note title, note titles are shown with there subdirectory (notebooks). For example: if searching for "statistics", it will match "biology/intro_statistics" and "statistics/regression".

Like so, a slash can be used to separate between a notebook and note. The rules are:

• not creating (overriding) existing notebook
• not creating note with same title in same notebook
• not creating 2 notebooks at a time. (only one new notebook and one new note is allowed)

As everything is show in a search bar as one is typing, it should be intuitive and easier than going back and forth to make sure which notebook is it.
