can you show more on how you did that with the extension?

In Settings > Extensions > Todo Tree, you can add and edit tags

and the Todo Tree pane can be set to group todos by tag

that's the main trick

A more minor note is that my task notes are inconsistent with whether they use

x

,

'x'

, or

done

so I set those as a "tag group" so they are collected into one category

Tag Groups are nice in that they can let you use different names in the tree view. I recently set up mine like this:

"todo-tree.general.tagGroups": {
    "PROJECTS" : ["PROJ "],
    "INTERUPTS" : ["INTR ", "[!] "],
    "NEXT ACTIONS" : ["NEXT "],
    "EVENTS" : ["EVENT ", "- o "],
    "ACTIVE ITEMS" : ["ACTV ", "[/] "],
    "TASKS" : ["TODO ", "[ ] "],
    "WAITING ITEMS" : ["WAIT ", "[?] "],
    "INCUBATE ITEMS" : ["INCU "],
    "COMPLETED": ["DONE ", "[x] "],
    "CANCELLED" : ["CNCL ", "[-] "],
    "MIGRATED" : ["MIGR ", "[>] "],
    "ARCHIVED" : ["ARCH "],
  },

I'm not excited about the fact that I seem to need to include a space in my key names to get it to work. If anyone has suggestions on that, let me know

and where do you set the tag in the task note itself?

It’s already there, Dendron has it in task notes by default

Are the spaces necessary for tag groups specifically? The tags I have working with Todo Tree don't need spaces before the closing quotation marks, but I'm mostly using the highlighting and haven't really tried groups yet.

I got no syntax highlighting until I added the spaces. I have no idea why that is the case. It was needed even before I added the groups

Though I just removed all the spaces and it appears to have started working...

So strange! Thanks for the update. I'll let you know if I also run into similar surprises, if I start using groups more extensively.

ah right, had a brainfart. 😄 thanks

i have another question, because I forgot. 🙈 Where do i edit the intergration feature, so that dendron won't add "TODO: {{ title }}" anymore?

open

>Dendron: Configure (UI)

or

dendron.yml

and search for todo integration

found great vscode drawing addons without extra app dependencies to complement dendron: draw by hall - detects math equations and converts them into latex (depends on external service though) tldraw by tldraw - infinite canvas and able to paste pictures - able to copy the drawing as an svg as far as chart/diagram creation goes, mermaid probably still the preferred way i feel a combination of these 3 would make mindmap creation pretty viable. perhaps a possible way to use these is to create charts in mermaid and annotate them using tldraw

i wonder if drawing tablet works though, dont have one myself 😢

On the view of security, the "external service" in "draw by hall" seems that requires "telemetry" to me, and users may want to protect some private info. Not sure if it's possible based on the vague privacy rules of VSCode

thats true, not surprised if free services r plaqued with telemetry

does anyone know how/if video embedding is supported in dendron

yes, via normal iframes

You can italicize class names in mermaid class diagrams to signify interfaces or abstract classes at the publishing phase https://stackoverflow.com/questions/69942067/rendering-an-abstract-class-with-italics-class-diagram-with-mermaid

Hello, I am looking for a simple trick to "Save as" an existing note: simple "save as" the file will create the note but with the same ID, dendron can detect it and fix it (kudos) I am wondering if it can be further optimized. thanks

Assuming you want to copy the content into a new note you can mark the content that shall go into the new note do a lookup (ctrl-l) and provide the new name. This will add the marked content to the new note with a new id. The only disadvantage is that it moves the content rather than copying it.

Hi ! Does anyone know how to carry over all uncompleted todos from one note to the next by using Hooks ? I found this https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/12551d19-04c2-4d26-ac1e-d23ff3181a9c/#hooks in dendron wiki but it's haven't any example so..

The page has children including this example which seems to ba what you're looking for https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/61055b5f-6216-4fd3-b9a1-82f79017b59e/

@Bassmann thank you very much !

TiL that despite having a default of "Push to Talk" in discord there is not a default keybinding set for said push

did not know push to talk was a feature in discord 😅

well, some of us are pleasure seekers even during the toughest of times and I fully embrace pushing buttons
