Tell application "System Events" to keystroke "v" using command down Set the clipboard to (read (hLine as alias) as JPEG picture)
If you do not have TextExpander (or similar) to make a new snippet that inserts this line graphic so you don't have to do steps 5 and 6 above, you can create an Automator service as shown in the image below using the following example AppleScript code: property hLine : (path to pictures folder as string) & "hLine.jpg" Adding the horizontal line with this shortcut has become second nature. Here's a link to the file that I'm using, if you want to give it a try (right-click to download):īONUS PRO TIP: If you're using TextExpander (or similar) make a new snippet that inserts this line graphic so you don't have to do steps 5 and 6 (above) every time.

What's nice here is as you adjust the width of the window, the horizontal line image will always span the full width: Head back to Notes and paste it in ( command + v).

In Photoshop (or similar), make a new document of somewhere in the neighborhood of 2400 pixels wide by 6 pixels high. Here's the best workaround I've come up with ( it ain't perfect, but it works for me!): And if you squeeze the window width narrower than your faux line, it will wrap.
Experimenting with various Unicode line characters ( like ―) or a series of em dashes ( opt + shift + dash) is not a great solution as the width of the "line" doesn't change with the width of the note window. I'd like to see this as an actual formatting option too… but it seems unlikely to come any time soon.
