Call zk from other programsΒΆ

Calling zk from other programs can be useful in a number of situations, such as:

  • creating notes from your text editor using a custom shortcut

  • creating a reference note from the text selected in your web browser

  • automating periodical maintenance tasks on your notebook

  • displaying the backlinks of a note in a GUI wrapper around zk

The following options can be useful to make sure zk behaves properly in a background context:

  • --no-input disables all user prompts and ignores --interactive

  • --quiet reduces unnecessary output
