Description

Category: File Management

The Rename File to Selection plugin allows users to quickly rename their current note based on the text they have highlighted. This simple yet effective feature streamlines the note organization process, especially in workflows that involve creating notes with meaningful titles derived from their content. Once the text is selected in the editor, the plugin uses it to rename the file, ensuring the new name is properly sanitized for compatibility.
