 - `search_notes()`: live grep for word under cursor in all notes (search in notes), via Telescope
 - `insert_link()` : select a note by name, via Telescope, and place a `[[link]]` at the current cursor position
 - `follow_link()`: take text between brackets (linked note) and open a Telescope file finder with it: selects note to open (incl. preview)
+- `goto_today()` : pops up a Telescope window with today's daily note pre-selected. Today's note will be created if not present. 
 - `install_daily_finder()` : installs the daily finder tool used by the plugin
 - `setup(opts)`: used for configuring paths, file extension, etc.
