@MrMentos You might know this allready, but alternatively, you could use the native text-replacement feature that part of MacOS and iOS to create a template. With this method you can stay within Bear, and you don’t even have to leave the current note you’re working on to look for a template-note. Should you be interested, here’s how it works:
- In Bear, create a template note, including formatting and tagging.
- In Bear, select the contents of the note (CMD-a) and copy (CMD-c).
- Go to the Apple menu and choose System preferences > Keyboard > Text replacements.
- In the new window, klick on te + sign to add a new line.
- Paste (CMD-v) the copied text into the right field (green arrow) and fill in the keystroke you’d like to use (red arrow). In my case; typing ‘boeksam’ triggers a template to a book summary.
- Hit ‘save’, return to Bear, test the feature and watch the magic unfold.
Be aware: setting this up only works on MacOS. For some reason the text replacement menu on iOS does nor accept a multi-line text input. Once set up though, this will work on every device. (Text replacements are synced! ) Also, this of course will not work with images.
The beauty: With this method you can leave your fingers ons the keyboard without leaving the current note or switching to other applications. Zero friction.
