How to create a custom command to open a specific file within Nota?

[minthemiddle]

Say I have a file called favourites.md that holds links to my favourite notes. It's located at WORKSPACE/folder/favourites.md.
How can I create a custom command with the name favourites that I can access via CMD + SHIFT + P > Favourites?

• Create a custom command (cmd + shift + p > New custom command)
• Navigate to the custom command folder (it's in WORKSPACE/.nota/commands)
• Rename the script from my-command.sh to favourites.sh
• Open the script and edit as listed below
• Save
• Hit cmd + shift + p and type favourites
• Access favourites note quickly
• Alternatively, you can also set a keyboard shortcut

favourites.md

#!/bin/bash
# @parameters workspace

cd "$1" && open "folder/favourites.md"

If nota is not your default Markdown editor, install the CLI tool (cmd + shift + p > Install CLI) and modify the script slightly:

#!/bin/bash
# @parameters workspace

cd "$1" && nota "folder/favourites.md"

Did you just answer your own question 😃 ? Few more suggestions:

• Nota CLI can be used to open the file (if it's not the default .md app) — nota "folder/favorites.md". Don't forget to install it first vie the Install global "nota" CLI... in the Command Palette...
• You can assign a direct shortcut to the command through Preferences → Shortcuts.
• I have a similar command for my tmp file which is a quick way to write down things quickly.

@astoilkov As I could not find the process described in the docs (yet), I wanted to share how I solved my own problem :) Maybe an own label (in Github's issues or discussions) for sharing scripts might encourage more people to share.

Thanks for that! We've planned better documentation for extensions. Also notaapp/extensions repo where we can show sample extensions.
