<%* // ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── // VidIn Edit Note — Inline Comment + Running Index // ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── // // WHAT IT DOES: // 1. Prompts you for a note about the text at your cursor // 2. Inserts invisibly at cursor position // 3. Appends - [EDIT-N] your note to the ✏️ Edit Notes index // at the bottom of the document (creates the section if it doesn’t exist) // // HOW TO SET UP A HOTKEY: // Settings → Templater → Template Hotkeys → Add hotkey → select this file // Suggested: Cmd+Shift+E (E for Edit note) // // HOW TO USE: // 1. Place cursor in the text next to what needs attention // 2. Hit your hotkey // 3. Type your note in the prompt and press Enter // 4. The inline marker appears at cursor; the index at the bottom updates // // HOW TO RESOLVE: // Delete the marker from the text AND // delete the matching line from the ✏️ Edit Notes section // ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
