Hi @jgrobelny-dev At this point, I'm strongly considering making a feature like Templater's cursor feature. As for your request: |

Hi all,
Kind a obsidian newbie here, but there is an issue that bugs me for two days. I would like to achieve one single trick -> append a line (or a couple of lines) based on a simple template. Open the file, and have the cursor properly placed. (I use it as micro journal -> single file fil dates, not a part of a daily note)
It seems impossible at the moment. The closes solution I got was to use "Capture" without using {{value}}. I got many lovely options on data placement, like the end of file, front of file, section of file, create section as needed and so on. Works like a charm - I just can't place my cursor. (I've seen the topic and templater solution didn't work)
I can you templater options but as they work great with "Template" type, the inline templater stuff (like <% tp.file.cursor(1) %>) get omitted.
My question is: can I have a "template" add with all the options "capture" has? Or can I have templater code evaluated when using capture format?
Additional small request -> can there be an option not to open a copy o fthe file if the file is already open and just focus on that tab?
I add data to one existing file, and sometimes it's open, and sometimes it's not. If it's already open, I do get a second tab with the file, focus switch would be enough.
Thanks
