Create or edit inline task
Create or edit inline task is the workhorse command for working at the cursor. It is context-aware: it reads where you are and does the fitting thing, so you do not need a separate command for create, convert, upgrade, and edit. Use it when you want Operon to understand the note context for you.
What it does, by context
| Where the cursor is | What the command does |
|---|---|
| An empty line | Creates a new blank inline task |
| A normal text line | Converts that line into an inline task |
| A plain Markdown checkbox | Upgrades it into an Operon inline task |
| Selected text | Turns the selection into a new inline task |
| An existing Operon task | Opens it in the Task Editor |
When to use it
Reach for this command as your default for quick, in-place work: jotting a task on an empty line, adopting a checkbox or a line you already wrote, or opening a task you are sitting on to change its fields. Because it follows the cursor, it keeps the task where you are writing.
For a guided dialog that does not depend on the cursor, use Create New Operon Task. For turning several lines into tasks at once, see Create tasks from selected text.
