Creating Foldingtext files in DevonThink

You can create a new, blank .ft document in FoldingText and save it as a template in DEVONthink. Then you can create new, empty .ft documents in the database using the ‘Data>New From Template>’ command.

If you have Keyboard Maestro, you can create a set of macros to create various new documents from templates and assign them the same shortcut. Here is what I see when I type the new command (command-n) in DEVONthink.

You can do this multiple ways-houthakker has posted a script here that will let you customize a list of text editors to open documents. You can also use Keyboard Maestro to handle this, similar to what I’ve done with the template macros above. As example, here is one that I use in nvALT with command-shift-o to pick a text editor to open a selected document.
