Speaking of Spark Desktop’s Command Center, Quick Open in Craft is an affordance that I’ve come to love and rely on. I was looking at doing a big write up on Craft, but I think I might just take a whack here and there to highlight some of the things I like about it.

In Craft, smacking command-o on the keyboard, a la Obsidian or Dendron, opens the Quick Open menu. Unlike those two solutions, however, Craft’s Quick Open menu initially searches document titles. It does, however, expose one of Craft’s superpowers: block searching and linking.

Searching in quick open will allow to select a matching document or block of text; finding no match, it will offer to create a new document with the string you typed into the quick open menu.

Craft, Finding No Document of Block of Text Titled “Detroit Style Pizza,” Helpfully Offers to Create Said File for Me

Searching for the term “cannabis,” which was the subject of a recent legal training we sat it on here at work (as it applies to public school students), revealed no documents with that title, but did show me the location (navigable, to boot) of blocks where the word appeared. Tremendous. Contrast this to Dendron, where content search and file name search are two different key commands.

I have plenty more to say about Craft.
