Searching and opening results

bs -- Search for a note by title/content and open it in Bear.

bst -- Search for a tag (a group of notes) by tag title and open it in Bear.

Creating a new note

bn I love notes! -- Creates a new note with the title and text "I love notes!"

bn I love notes! #love #notes -- Creates a new note with the title and text "I love notes!" and the tags "#love" and "#notes"

Known Issues

  • Creating tags only works with single-word tags - multiword tags hopefully to come.

Todo

  • Append text to existing notes.
  • Figure out multi-word tags.

Thanks
