So I included two more steps in the workflow: It’s pretty easy, but it won’t cover what I wanted, which was creating a note in a specific project. One more thing: my macOS is in Portuguese, so I don’t know how exactly the English commands are presented… Be nice, ok?!Īnyway… follow these steps.

I’m guessing that people who ended up here in this thread might know some features I’m about to describe. If you know a better way to do it, I’m open for suggestions! I used macOS Automator to do this workflow, even though there are people who don’t like it. I finally found a way to make this “global hotkey” happen! A not-so-neat accomplishment, but it’s very useful while we wait for an “official” quick entry global hotkey in Agenda, and maybe it can help others too. I would appreciate any help from you guys!

I’m creating some kind of a “dictionary/reference notebook” for my job, and I’d like to add terms to it whenever they come to mind, you know? And a quick shortcut to bring a pop-up window would help me a lot, because I won’t get distracted by changing between apps (ADHD is a b#$%*). The problem with Things and Todoist is that, when you hit that keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Opt+spacebar), they create a new “Task” or “To-do”, which is not what I wanted. What I want and need is that “Pop-up Window” in front of whatever app you’re working on. Bear also has a similar shortcut (Ctrl+Opt+B, in my case), but it takes you to the app.

I know that my question is probably going to make people think, “What a dumb question!”, but I really wish to know if there’s a way to create a Quick Action in MacOS Catalina with Automator using the X-callback-url “create a note”, the same way you are able to do with Things 3 or Todoist with a Universal Hotkey, that brings a pop-up window. Hi there! I’m a newbie when it comes to coding and all that stuff, so please be kind…
