Templater Script - Ask for Note Title

1 min read

Setup

For this to work, we need to create a new template in our designated templates folder. For example, Template - Dummy. Then we need to copy/paste the templater code into it.

Result

If you have a hotkey for creating a new note from a template (in my case, that’s ALT + N), then Obsidian will ask for the template. Choose the Template - Dummy and you will be prompted for a title before the note is created.

Alternatively, you can create a new note and then insert the Template - Dummy template. If you do that, you will have to run the templater script manually – for me, this is the hotkey ALT + R. The end result is the same.

	<% tp.file.cursor(1) %>
