I’m trying to add an action button that takes me to the quick notes page, but for whatever reason, this completely breaks silverbullet. i have to stop docker, delete .db files, edit [SETTINGS.md](http://SETTINGS.md) to remove this entry, and then start docker back up. This is what im trying to add.

```auto
- icon: list
  command: "{[Navigate: To Page](</Library/Core/Quick Notes>)}"
  description: "Go to quick notes"

```

Well, I don’t know why that breaks your Silverbullet, but it looks a bit complicated, anyway.

On my installation I add my Quicknote button this way (but I’m not 100% sure, if I added some plug/additional Scripts for that in the past):

- description: “Quick Note”  
icon: zap  
command: “{[Quick Note]}”

Hope, that helps.

Your solution is for creating quick notes… not going to the query list page. I want a quick access button to go to all my quick notes… can’t figure it out though.

Can’t really try this, but what about:

```auto

command: '{[Navigate: To Page]("Library/Core/Quick Notes")}'

```

The what’s new button on [silverbullet.md](http://silverbullet.md) does exactly this. Settings are here: [SETTINGS](https://silverbullet.md/SETTINGS)

Right that’s probably a bug, it thinks it’s auto completing a regular markdown link.

So it works if a create a new root page called “Quick Notes.” Im not sure if issue is due to library directory or the slashes in directory.
