> not yet but if you create an issue for it, i can put it on our roadmap Currently trying to holistically use dendron, will post a list of things that have come up during this time. I'll create the issues after having a short chat here, just in case I have misunderstood some of the concepts 🙂

@kevins8 thank you! It is @Buxel's fault that i am here 😁 He told me about dendron and it looks like this is the tool i needed for quite some time. So i try to use it for work now and see how it goes🙂

fyi, the vscode feature request i submitted to implement

FileFolders

natively (support files having children) just crossed the threshold to enter their backlog! thanks for everyone that voted 🙏 https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/101135

Hi. I don't want to make a github issue if this is just user error on my part. I'm testing the "special notes" feature. For both scratch and journal, the {domain} replacement doesn't seem to work correctly (0.8.13). For scratch, notes always start with "scratch". For Journal notes, these seem to get set with the top level domain. I.e. if I have the note, dendron.topic.blogging.md open and I type cmd+shift+j the note name is set to "dendron.journal.2020-08-29". Any ideas? Thanks...

user error i guess. found the settings that control this. i think i got confused by the documentation that described the defaults for scratch/journal, i.e. {domain}.journal.{Y-MM-DD-HHHHmmss}.

@User i think I could be better with the terminology. the

domain

is the root of the current hierarchy

yeah. the part that confused me though is that the default value is asOwnDomain

yeah, two different defaults for

scratch

and

journal

. http://dendron.so/notes/5c213aa6-e4ba-49e8-85c5-1bdcb33ce202.html#defaultnodetypeaddbehavior

autocomplete works like this [[proj.]] => ctrl+space but not like this [[title | proj.]] => ctrl+space

would be nice if the "scratch note" feature could be a little smarter like the "goto definition" feature. would save a rename step (which i think i saw you recommend for now).

> autocomplete works like this [[proj.]] => ctrl+space but not like this [[title | proj.]] => ctrl+space @User yeah, that's currently a known issue that we're planning on fixing

as for

renaming scratch notes

, the purpose for a scratch note is for ad-hoc content you want to write down quickly without thinking about where to file it

otherwise, you could just use

lookup

to create a note in its proper place. what would you want

scratch

notes to do?

my usecase is a brainstorming type session. we bullet point projects, etc and then as detail is needed, make a note for each project. Using "goto definition" would work too, but it doesn't recognize the current hierarchy

got it. some thoughts: 1. if you want to create a scratch note under the current hierarchy, you can change the

defaultAddBehavior

to

childOfCurrent

(put it under the current note in the hierarchy) or

childOfDomain

(put it under current domain) 2. if you want to create a new note under the current hierarchy, you can use

ctrl/cmd+l

which will open with the current active path

The cheatsheet is great!

@User @User @User welcome to dendron 🙂 here's a brief lay of the land. #734966064957620294 is where you can tell us a little about you and what brought you to dendron. this is the general #717965437182410786 for anything on or off topic. for specific things like #736965464261132310 or #735365126227493004, you can checkout the specific channels. this is me 👋 > Hey everyone, > > My name is Kevin and I'm the founder of Dendron. Note taking has been an obsession passion of mine for as long as I can remember. After having amassed a corpus of +10k markdown notes, I created Dendron because I couldn't find any other tool that could let me manage it all. Before Dendron, I worked at AWS for 5+ years. Feel free to message me on all note taking and non-note taking related topics 🙂

@User @User Welcome to Dendron! Let me know if there's any questions I can answer. Would be great to get an idea of where y'all are coming from in #734966064957620294

@User Ctrl+Shift+R doesn't work (reference to another note) on Ubuntu. Message 1: couldn't find 'xsel' binary... Message 2: ...fallbackError...

@User In my new, almost empty workspace I don't have any .yml files, Ctrl+Shift+L doesn't work. What should I do?

@User the xsel error suggests doing

sudo apt install xsel

, have you tried that?

@User are you using a headless ubuntu? we use clipboardy to do copying and they have this open issue https://github.com/sindresorhus/clipboardy/issues/63

> @User are you using a headless ubuntu? we use clipboardy to do copying and they have this open issue https://github.com/sindresorhus/clipboardy/issues/63 @User Nope, conventional, with GUI.

@User can you do 'Reload Index' and try again? dendron will generate a yml config if none exists

> @User can you do 'Reload Index' and try again? dendron will generate a yml config if none exists @User I did several times. Still have only .md files: root and two more I created recently.

@User Okay, I created root.schema.yml

@User Okay, Ctrl+Shift+R works.

> @User the xsel error suggests doing

sudo apt install xsel

, have you tried that? @User Thank you for your advice.

@User no problem, I had the same error on my system))

would you mind adding that to the ‘dendron troubleshooting page’? feel like this won’t be the last we hear of this issue 😅 https://www.dendron.so/notes/a6c03f9b-8959-4d67-8394-4d204ab69bfe.html
