This is my one-stop-shop for new note creation using Templater:
Press the hotkey and you’re presented with a list of new note templates, based off the templates you put in a specific subfolder. These templates are just your normal Templater templates, so you can use the ones you already have:
The script will ask you for the title for your new note. It will use the current date/time if no title given. Of course you can configure that as you like.
And finally you can choose to insert a link to the new note into your current note:
Setup
Create a template subfolder to store your templates for different types of notes, like a Project note, or a Book note, or a Person note. Add any .md template files in there that you like.
Take a copy of my the Templater script at the bottom of this page and assign it to a hotkey.
Edit the script to change this value on the 4th line to the location of your template subfolder:
Template settings
Your templates can contain special properties which will configure the created new note:
template_destination_folder - This will cause the note based from this template to be created in a specific folder. For example, you might want all your Person notes to be created in a People folder.
template_title - Any text in this property will pre-fill the name for the new note field in Step 4. If you want to add a date, you can reference Moment like this: This title has the date MOMENT(YYYY-MM-DD).
Tip
These fields will be removed from the created new note, so you don’t have to worry about them cluttering up your normal notes.
