Features

🩺 The Doctor — Patient Queue

Opens a stacked card interface showing every note that carries the plaster tag. Cards slide in and out with animations as you move through the queue.

Keyboard shortcuts (while the queue is open):

Key	Action
U	Mark the note as healed (removes the plaster tag)
I	Ignore — skip and move to the next note
O or Enter	Open the note for a full review
Escape	Close the queue

The ← Previous and Next → buttons let you navigate in both directions. Progress is shown as current / total (e.g. 5 / 40).

💉 The Nurse

Automatically applies a configurable plaster tag (default: #INCOMPLETE) to every new note the moment it is created. Two commands let you manage the tag manually from any note:

Command	Action
The Nurse — Apply plaster tag	Adds the plaster tag to the active note
The Nurse — Remove plaster tag	Removes the plaster tag from the active note

Assign hotkeys to these commands in Settings → Hotkeys by searching for "Nurse".
