Keyword Notes Editor

Organize your sidebar by keyword tags and folder paths, then view and edit all matching notes in a single scrollable view. Supports multi-level sub-tag trees.

Core Features

Keyword Sidebar — the plugin adds a navigation list for each configured keyword and folder in the left sidebar:

  • Click a keyword to display all notes with that tag in the editor area
  • Multi-level sub-tags expand in a tree hierarchy (e.g. test/work/meeting auto-nests by level)
  • Tag aggregation — combine multiple tags (e.g. p1+p2+p3|quadrant) so notes matching any one of them are included
  • Click a folder path to display all markdown files under that directory

Batch Browsing & Editing — all matching notes appear together in one scrollable view, no need to open individual tabs.

Highlights

  • 📋 Keyword Sidebar — keyword/folder navigation with collapsible sub-tag tree
  • 🏷️ Tag Query — pull all notes matching a tag, including nested sub-tags
  • 📁 Folder Query — pull all notes under a given folder path
  • 🔗 Multi-Tag Aggregation — configure a group of tags, hit any one to show the note
  • ⏰ Time Filter — filter by week, month, quarter, or custom date range
  • ⬇️⬆️ Collapse / Expand All — fold or unfold every note at once
  • ⌨️ Keyboard Navigation — jump between notes with Arrow Up / Arrow Down
  • 📜 Infinite Scroll — lazy-loads notes as you scroll for smooth performance
