How do I use Notes?

Run Notes from Anywhere

   notes

that's it!

This will open vim into today's notes entry, if already opened will append to end of file.

Search through Notes

This will return a list of all the entries that contain 'keyword'.

Keep in mind this is case sensitive.

   ask keyword

To only return 3 matches and ignore case modify your alias to

   ask () { ag -i -A --column --max-count 3 --ignore-case "$@" path/to/Notes; }
