It looks like x<Enter> would be the shortest way there. Tangentially, I don't know if you've ever tried U2's "SmartDir" command. I use it all the time, and now I've ported it to QuickNotes as SD (see below). So, to take your example, commanding SD e,t would filter the directory entries down to files matching "e*.t*", including your target file. SD 2,s,p would list the 2014 "stress" file. (The last segment of the comma-delimited argument searches for extensions; everything preceding it searches for filenames.) > But even though it can edit text-like files, I don't think it can > create a non-md file (can it?). Oh, sure. NE <filename.ext> creates any type of file you like: txt, html, etc. It's no different from XyWrite or any text editor in that respect. In scripting, WRITEFILE x "file" writes the contents of variable x to the file. Here's SD. Add it to user.qnu and command RELOADLIB. Be sure to download the latest version of QuickNotes first.
