Better Joplin keyboard shortcuts using AutoHotKey

Hi all,

I'm really pleased with Joplin overall. One thing that Joplin is lacking is a set of solid keyboard shortcuts.

This could probably be addressed through the development of a plugin, but I don't have time for that. Instead, I've made a simple AutoHotKey script which vastly improves the user experience for Joplin.

New shortcuts added with this script:

Ctrl + Tab: Navigates to next note in the list for the current notebook
Ctrl + Shift + Tab: Navigates to previous note in the list for the current notebook
Ctrl + Shift + P: Opens up go to anything mode but for notebooks (adding an @ symbol to the start of the query); instantly allowing traversal to any notebook in your library

Hopefully you find this useful.

        Send ^+l
        Send {Down}
    return

    ^+Tab::
        Send ^+l
        Send {Up}
    return

    ^+p::
        Send ^+l
        Send ^p
        Send {BackSpace}
        Send {U+0040}
    return

    ^p::
        Send ^+l
        Send ^p
    return
