Summary

AI summary

Adds a floating quick-capture window with hotkeys, fuzzy note picker, command palette, and Vim‑mode commands.

Full changelog

Quick Capture

A floating capture window — open it from anywhere with Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+Space (rebindable in Settings → Editor), even when ZenNotes is hidden, or another app is focused.

  • Compact card with title and body; saves into the Quick folder.
  • Cmd+P opens a fuzzy picker over your whole vault — picking a note loads it for editing in place.
  • Cmd+Shift+P opens a command palette (save, save-without-hiding, discard, open another note).
  • Vim-mode aware: :w :q :wq :x :enew :find on top of everything CodeMirror-Vim provides.
  • Esc and Cmd+Enter both save and hide; empty buffers hide silently.
  • <leader>q toggles the capture window from anywhere in the main app.
