MACRO: New Note, v2.2

[_jims]

@August

Thanks for this macro @_jims, it looks useful.

Hi, @August. You're welcome.

@August

I notice that it closes the "main" Notes window

Yes, the macro minimizes that window. This was a design choice I made. But you could easily change it if you want.

@August

this is by far the bigger annoyance to me, it appears to always make the new note floating in whatever Desktop the main Notes window happens to be in when I invoke the macro.

That's how the Notes app works (even if the main photo window visible, minimized, or hidden). Again this was a design choice I made, but you could easily change that behavior by modifying the macro to first close the Notes app if it is open.

@August

Because your flow involves closing the main Notes window, whether or not it was originally open, maybe I could get what I wanted by closing the main Notes window first (via AppleScript, so it could be closed without having to change Desktops) and then opening it to create the new note. I think that could result in the new note floating in my current Desktop.

Easy to do; no AppleScript required.

@August

And all of that is way more than your original goal for this macro

yes, but...

@August

I'm just brainstorming here with a hopefully like-minded explorer. What do you think? If I ever got around to building it, would you use it?
