Use QuickAdd
Setup and examples for appending to an Inbox

The procedure for introducing the official README is to search for QuickAdd in Obsidian's Settings → Community plugins, install and enable it. In this verification, the distribution file of the official 2.29.0 was placed in a separate repository and the plug-in was enabled. This is not a record of trying all the operations to be installed from the normal list.

If you are concerned about the startup time after enabling it, please also refer to the results and the cutting procedure comparing 0, Templater, Templater+QuickAdd for each 3 in the same Linux repository.

The minimum version of the Obsidian specified by the official manifest of QuickAdd 2.29.0 is 1.13.0. Check the version you are using first. At first, if you make Inbox.md 1 in the same storage without combining automatic date designation and scripts, it will be easier to check the storage destination.

Templater or additional macros are not required to add to the fixed Inbox. When considering where to record for each date, you can check where to save and how to handle the date in another daily note guide. This page has not tried to transfer to the date notebook.

1. Settings → QuickAdd → New choice → Capture and name the option to Inbox capture.
2. Capture to active file OFF and enter Inbox.md to Capture to. This is a relative pass from the open vault.
3. Select Bottom of file under Write position. This setting adds text after the existing body.
4. Capture format ON and specify - {{VALUE}}. The text written on the input screen will be included in the {{VALUE}}.
5. Check the input and display settings according to the table below, and close the setting screen with Done.

This Capture uses only short formats and does not use macros, AI functions, scripts, or post-processing by Templater. Before adding an advanced example, let's first check the storage destination and input of this 1.

QuickAdd's AI assistant has not been verified this time, and when considering another AI plug-in, please refer to the table that reads the destination, context, index, and key storage of the main AI plug-in with a fixed source, and separate the explanation of the document and the unconfirmed part of the actual communication.

Open another work note and select QuickAdd: Run in the command palette. In this Linux environment, Ctrl+P was used. When you select Inbox capture from the list, the Text to capture input screen opens, and Inbox capture → Inbox.md and the storage destination are displayed.

1. C14 capture one and press Ok.
2. Select QuickAdd: Run → Inbox capture again, enter C14 capture two, and press Ok.
3. This time, Working.md is still displayed for 2 times, and the saved content has not changed. Open Inbox.md later to read the results.

2 This is the original text of Markdown saved after input. Each line in English is a verification note that does not contain personal information, and original seed is a line that existed before entering.

# Inbox

- original seed

- C14 capture one
- C14 capture two

To compare the saved files, download the Inbox before input, after input 1, and after input 2. Each contains the original text from the test; none automatically configures an import into your vault.

This time, when I wrote C14 cancelled input on the same input screen and pressed Cancel, the contents of the Inbox saved did not change, and the text was not added. This is the result of the 1 confirmation in this setting.

If you use it often, you can register this Capture with an individual command with the Add to command palette in the official document or the optional lightning icon. After that, it is the flow of assigning with Settings → Hotkeys. This confirmation is QuickAdd: via Run, and I have not tried to assign individual hotkeys.

First, choose the entrance from the scene where you usually leave notes. If you want to add it to the fixed Inbox in the middle of writing a note, the QuickAdd Capture I tried this time may be enough. If you want to use the input in iPhone as a separate entrance, you can check the SimpleMemo's linkage and storage destination settings.

There is no need to separate QuickAdd from the outside of Obsidian. Officially, there is also a way to call from obsidian://quickadd URI, Apple Shortcuts and launchers, and Obsidian CLI on the desktop. The diagram in this article shows the input path we tried this time and the entrance to check the settings. Please check the operation of URI and CLI in the official external startup guide.

If you want to compare the entrance, including the articles you are viewing and the purpose of sending selected text, go to Comparison with the official shared sheet, shortcut, and QuickAdd. It may be sufficient without adding a specific app. This article does not measure the superiority or inferiority of the speed and comfort of the entrances.
