Glad I hit the mark! I'll provide a copy below. Fair warning: only tested on Linux, not Mac/BSD: NOTE_DIR="${NOTE_DIR:-${HOME}/notes}" CURRENT_NOTE=$(date +%Y-week%V) LAST_WEEK_NAME=$(date -d '7 days ago' +%Y-week%V) NOTE_PATHS=("$NOTE_DIR/$CURRENT_NOTE" "$NOTE_DIR/$LAST_WEEK_NAME") EDITOR="${EDITOR:-vim}" if [[ $EDITOR == *vim* ]]; then # Run the vim-like editor with tabs $EDITOR -c ':tab all' "${NOTE_PATHS[@]}" else # Run the editor without vim tab arg $EDITOR "${NOTE_PATHS[@]}" fi The bit for '$EDITOR' makes this work for 'vim', but also 'gvim' (vim-X11) and 'neovim'. The assumption for 'else' is that the other editors simply accept an array of arguments with no other direction required Edit: I realize now I misspoke - no yearly directories [anymore]; dashed names instead! Apparently I quit that in week 10 of 2023. IIRC, managing the directories added a few lines I didn't care to keep. I don't look outside of the two week window often :)
