Editor Command Snippets¶

TeXcore features quick helper shortcuts to automate note metadata setup and perform text capitalization transforms inside the editor. These commands are registered globally and can be triggered via the command palette using Ctrl+P (or Cmd+P on macOS).

Frontmatter Metadata Injection¶

The Add Tags command injects a standardized frontmatter YAML block at the very top of your active note, facilitating quick categorization and alias indexing:

---
tags:
  - 
aliases:
  - 
---

Duplication Prevention

If the plugin detects that your note already starts with a valid YAML frontmatter block (delimiters ---), the command terminates safely and does not write duplicates.

Editor Text Transformations¶

The Run Text Transform Snippet command processes your highlighted editor text (or the active cursor line if no text is selected) through predefined formatting filters. You can use this with multi-cursor selections.

Transformation	Output Example	Typical Use Case
Kebab Case	`example-text-string`	Fast URL or note alias linking.
Title Kebab Case	`Example-Text-String`	Title heading slugifications.
Title Case	`Example Text String`	Formatting article or note headings.
Clean Zotero Highlight	Reformats HTML tags to raw markdown	Converting Zotero desktop highlights into blockquotes.

When any transformation runs, TeXcore displays a notice toast in the top-right corner indicating whether the change was successfully applied.
