"UGH! Whats the command to [insert function here]?"
Shortcuts, hot-keys, and power use is leveraged through knowing application commands. Sad thing is, if you aren't in the application all the time, it's easy to remember that it can be done, but tough to recall the keystrokes to accomplish it. FEAR NOT INFOSEC COMPATRIOTS! I got you.
Here is a curated list of cheat sheets for many popular tech in our cybersecurity space. I've been compiling them for a bit, but this seems like the group that would most benefit. Cheers!
I didnt create any of these cheatsheets, so much love and appreciation to the authors themselves. We all win.

I've been using Obsidian. I copy the parts that I think will be most relevant to me along with a link back to where I found it. Depending on what it is sometimes I create/save and include an archive.org link in case the original post disappears. For pages that are more important I'll also create an offline copy of the page using the SingleFile browser extension. Obsidian is where the bulk of everything I want to reference later goes though and it makes searching easy. Since it's just markdown you could probably drop your folders of plaintext files into the Obsidian folder structure and it would, I think, just add them.
Actually that's wrong -- by default it won't open them, but this has options: https://www.reddit.com/r/ObsidianMD/comments/qgyjij/obsidian_and_txt_files_getting_started/
Yeah I too have obsidian and moved some things in there. Cool!
