Weekly notes name template

[anpin]

Hi, first of all, thanks a lot for this amazing productivity booster I'm truly enjoying using it.
I want to dive into current week journal with one liner command. How should one approach filename template for a weekly journal, so it would create some stable human readable name such as first day of the week or maybe use an alias to open already created file for the current week and if non exists create a new one?

It depends what you want exactly, but you can use a third-party shell command to generate the filename. For example using the date terminal command:

filename = "{{sh 'date +%A'}}"

use an alias to open already created file for the current week and if non exists create a new one?

This is already the default behavior of zk new with the --no-input flag. If the filename already exists, then it is opened instead of overwriting it.

thank you so much! I haven't realized I can use shell commands for file names.
