MACRO: Float Specified Notes, v3.3

Macro Library

Hi, @AppleTooPlus; welcome to the Keyboard Maestro forum.

When I see someone new to the forum, I like to share a few links that are helpful:

Looks like you haven't created any folders in the Notes app (File > New Folder). That's not a problem, but something you might find helpful if/when you accumulate a lot of notes.

The note folder specification is actually optional. If you had hundreds of notes, retrieval might be slightly faster if you specified the folder.

For your case, if you want the note to always float when the macro is triggered, then specify the following:

Keyboard Maestro Export

The $> is an indication that the note should be always floated. (It's actually optional if local_Favorite_Folders_Titles includes only one entry.)

Note also, that the specified text should be the entire first line, or a substring of the first line, of the desired note. The match is case insensitive.

The macro is designed to provide additional options. For example, with:

Keyboard Maestro Export

When the macro is triggered, Scratch Note would be immediately floated, and the other two notes would appear in a Prompt With List (PWL) menu. If one of them was subsequently selected, that note would also be floated.

There are a few other features. For example, with:

Keyboard Maestro Export

  • If the hot key trigger did not include 1 or 2, Scratch Note would be floated, and the three other notes would appear in a PWL menu.

  • If the hot key trigger did include a 1, Scratch Note would be floated. The other three notes would not appear in a PWL menu.

  • If the hot key trigger did include a 2, TO DO LIST would be floated. The other three notes would not appear in a PWL menu.
