From the Quick switcher dialog, type in the name of your new note and hit `SHIFT+ENTER`. The new note is opened. To create a note within a folder, you can also type out the name of the file path in Quick switcher like: ``` projects/Project X ``` The new note is created in that folder. > [!warning] Windows users > Because of the way that Windows handles file paths, you may have to use backslashes when creating notes within folders, such as: `\projects\Project X`
