+# New note namer
+
+Sets the note title and file name at creation time, with optional dialogs for each field.
+Especially useful when the _Allow note file name to be different from note title_ option is enabled in QOwnNotes.
+
+## Settings
+
+| Setting                                    | Description                                                                         |
+| ------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **Show a dialog to define the note title** | If checked, a dialog asks for a custom title (pre-filled with the search term).     |
+| **Show a dialog to define the file name**  | If checked, a dialog asks for a custom file name (pre-filled with the search term). |
+| **Heading style**                          | Format applied to the title: ATX (`# Title`), Setext (`Title / =====`), or Custom.  |
+| **Custom heading – opening tag**           | Text inserted before the title (Custom style only).                                 |
+| **Custom heading – closing tag**           | Text inserted after the title (Custom style only).                                  |
+
+The two dialog options are independent: each defaults to the search term, regardless of the other.
+
+## Behaviour
+
+| Source           | Dialog: note title | Dialog: file name | Title                        | File name                                   |
+| ---------------- | ------------------ | ----------------- | ---------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
+| Search "foo"     | ☐                  | ☐                 | `# foo`                      | `foo`                                       |
+| Search "foo"     | ☑                 | ☐                 | dialog pre-filled with `foo` | `foo` (search term, independent from title) |
+| Search "foo"     | ☐                  | ☑                | `# foo`                      | dialog pre-filled with `foo`                |
+| Search "foo"     | ☑                 | ☑                | dialog pre-filled with `foo` | dialog pre-filled with `foo`                |
+| Menu (no search) | —                  | ☐                 | dialog (no pre-fill)         | = entered title                             |
+| Menu (no search) | —                  | ☑                | dialog (no pre-fill)         | dialog pre-filled with entered title        |
+
+> **Note:** the `n:` search prefix (name-only filter) is automatically stripped from the note name.
+
+## Tips
+
+- Leave both dialogs unchecked for a fully automatic workflow: create a note directly from the search bar with one keypress.
+- Check only _file name_ to keep the search term as the title but write a longer or different file name.
+- Check only _title_ to write a custom heading while keeping the file name equal to the search term.
+- The heading style applies in all cases, including when no dialog is shown.
+- All settings require a **script engine reload** to take effect after being changed.
