Hey everyone,
I’m really into Bear for its straightforward design, tagging, markdown, and pretty much everything it offers. But, I keep going back to TextEdit. The reason? I’ve got this keyboard shortcut set up that pops open a new TextEdit document instantly whenever I need to jot something down quickly.
So, here’s my question: Is there a way to achieve something similar with Bear? I’m not looking to open the whole Bear app with its explorer, list of notes, etc. I just want a simple keyboard shortcut that opens a new note by itself—kind of like the view you get when you double-click a single note from the list, but for creating a new note directly.
If I could manage this, I’d be able to leave TextEdit behind for good. Does anyone know how to set this up or if it’s even possible?
Appreciate any tips or guidance!
PS: And for what it’s worth, I’ve tried automating this in macOS Keyboard Shortcuts (Open Bear > Create Note), but it creates a new note in the context of the full bear app experience. I need “Create a Note in a New Window”, not “Create Note”
