I’m using a local rather than cloud based system now so it’s always an alt-tab away. Then the hot keys for navigating the structure of the notes is also hotkeys so that it can be low latency.
The big change was being able to build on ideas on the timescale of months or years at all. Concretely, the first round of conceptual re-compression I did over my notes on mental models wound up being part of the kegan 4-5 transition.
Not OP, but I have a similar hotkey. I use Todoist as my capture system and mapped Alt+Super+o the following script (is there a way to embed code in comments?):
wmctrl -x -a “Todoist”
xdotool keyup Alt Super o
xdotool type—clearmodifiers—delay=3 q
Script performs: select Todoist window, lift hotkeys, wait tiny amount of time, press q (q is the hotkey to add a task for Todoist).
Can you say more?
How did you do a hot-key?
What did the big change in your life look like?
