Otherwise, you can use AutoHotKey to launch app, which is free. a software to launch notepad++ when I pressed a hotkey, in this case, I already owned DisplayFusion, a handy tool if you use multiple monitors, which does have a function to launch the application.notepad++ (free and open-sourced) and 3 Plugins for data entry.Here are the steps, in case there are users who are stuck in Windows and want to get your notes into Drafts. With a little tweaking, I finally manage to land on a set of tools that are fast, autosaves to iCloud, and works with Drafts. sometimes, I get logged out and have to log in to Apple id (plus entering 2FA) and by the time I get the website up, my fleeting thoughts escaped me.I need to keep the browser tab open as opposed to a global hotkey to trigger it and.The most obvious answer is to use Drafts Web Capture () but I don’t like this approach because I need to enter the filename and choose the folder to save these files. Notepad and the rest of the editors do not have a global hotkey to launch and more importantly, they do not autosave i.e. I tried to use notepad, notepad++, simple sticky notes and a few other text editors but they did not meet my requirements for a quick capture tool like Drafts.

At work, I have to use a Windows machine and I find myself needing to quickly get my thoughts into a note.
