> Note-taking shouldn't be done by an external application because then users have to switch context from their current work. Rather, the tool should be available in the command line, browser, and IDE.

Some ways of working around that:

- have your note-taking app always open, on the other screen if available

- work in the same program you're using to take notes

I do the latter - there's one program that can do that, Emacs.

dnote doesn't look ergonomic enough for me to use directly (I don't spend that much time in raw terminal), but looks perfect for globally binding to a key, with an ad-hoc popup UI (e.g. via your WM on Linux, or with AutoHotkey on Windows - the latter makes it trivially easy to create a minimal GUI too.)
