# Tana Quick Add Raycast Command
A Raycast script command that provides quick access to Tana's Quick Add feature, allowing you to add notes to Tana directly from Raycast.
## Overview
This script enhances your Tana workflow by providing a global keyboard shortcut to open Tana's Quick Add feature. It can be used to either open Quick Add for manual input or directly add text from Raycast.
## Prerequisites
- [Tana](https://tana.inc/) installed on your Mac
- [Raycast](https://www.raycast.com/) installed on your Mac
- macOS (tested on macOS 12.0 and later)
## Installation
1. First, set up your Script Commands directory in Raycast:
- Open Raycast Settings
- Go to Extensions → Script Commands
- Click "Add Directories" and add `~/.raycast/script-commands`
2. Download the `Tana Quick Add.sh` file from this repository
3. Move it to your Raycast Script Commands directory:
```bash
# Create the Scripts directory if it doesn't exist
mkdir -p ~/.raycast/script-commands
# Download and move the script
curl -o ~/.raycast/script-commands/tana-quick-add.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lisaross/tana-quick-add-raycast-command-script/main/Tana%20Quick%20Add.sh
# Make it executable
chmod +x ~/.raycast/script-commands/tana-quick-add.sh
```
The command will appear in Raycast automatically once the file is in place, as the directory is being watched for changes.
## Keyboard Shortcut
You can set up a custom keyboard shortcut for quick access to this command:
1. Open Raycast Preferences
2. Go to "Extensions" → "Script Commands"
3. Find "Tana Quick Add" in the list
4. Click on the keyboard shortcut field
5. Press your desired shortcut combination (e.g., `Caps Lock +`)
This will allow you to trigger the Tana Quick Add command directly with your chosen shortcut, bypassing the need to open Raycast first.
## Usage
### Basic Usage
1. Open Raycast (default shortcut: `⌘ + Space`)
2. Type "Tana Quick Add"
3. Press Enter to open Tana's Quick Add feature
### Quick Add with Text
1. Open Raycast
2. Type "Tana Quick Add"
3. Type your note text
4. Press Enter to add the note directly to Tana
## Features
- Global keyboard shortcut access to Tana's Quick Add
- Direct text input from Raycast
- Automatic activation of Tana
- Quick Add shortcut simulation (Cmd+E)
- Text escaping for special characters
## Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
1. **Quick Add doesn't open**
- Ensure Tana is running
- Check if the script has the correct permissions
- Verify that the Cmd+E shortcut works in Tana
2. **Text not being added**
- Try increasing the delay in the script (currently set to 0.5 seconds)
- Check if Tana is responding to keyboard input
3. **Special characters not working**
- The script automatically escapes special characters, but some may still cause issues
- Try using plain text if you encounter problems
