makes sense. added it to the main repo and dendron-site, will backfill existing and new repos as well 🙂

Feature idea: the note lookup suggests notes to create based on links to pages that don't exist. For example, I have a link in a note to [[research.concepts.private-property]]; In note lookup, if I type something like 'research.concepts.pri', then 'research.concepts.private-property' should be a suggestion. I understand this might not be possible because it would essentially have to look through every note you've ever created. Maybe context based, as in only within N nodes, or could implement keyword matching? I don't know, I'm absolutely a beginner at programming.

if i understand, have lookup autocomplete based on existing links that point to pages that don't yet exist?

Yes. The links scattered around in all the notes. Seems like a daunting task to me

got it. so its not exactly the same but one of our backlog items is to add an unlinked panel. would this be sufficient for your use case? https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/219

that's not the same. That would let you go to an existing note, and find notes that should be linked to it but aren't.

this is about in one note typing [[some.link.to.a.note.that-doesnt.exist]]

and then in other notes, having it show up in autocomplete.

currently auto-complete is only aware of nodes that actually have an already created note.

a more concrete example: If I'm writing a bunch of notes I might find some new words to add to my glossary.

eg in a note about obsidian, I might write

obsidian supports [[glossary.backlink]]s as well as [[glossary.unlinked-reference]]s

even though I haven't created either of those two pages

then I could go to a note about dendron and start typing

but it wouldn't recommend the completion for glossary.unlinked-references

even though that name exists in the obsidian file.

auto-complete requires an actual page to exist, which is a bit unfortunate as I tend to have some quite long names and use them a couple of times before finally making the page (and then often find that one of my links had a typo)

got it. in that case, can you submit a feature request so we can track it in our roadmap? https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/new?assignees=&labels=&template=feature_request.md&title=

I am experimenting with Dendron in the last few days and one of my pain points right now is that it would be nice that on the Lookup to have a way to autocomplete hiercharies (TAB key like snippets maybe?). For example, if I have

my.very.long.hierarchy.

and I want to create a new level, I need to type the full hierarchy path., manually. I would like to be able to start typing

my.very.l

then select the closest result, press a key and the lookup autocompletes to that key, allowing me to create new pages inside big hierarchies much faster.

its a current limitation with vscode. we're exploring alternatives: https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/683740e3-70ce-4a47-a1f4-1f140e80b558.html#can-i-autocomplete-an-hierarchy

I think

hiearchyDisplayTitle

is now broken. I have set it to

Table of Contents

- and it worked. (Albeit it says

Table of Contents

on all pages : https://pkm.desipenguin.com/) After upgrading to latest (0.36.2) It is back to

Children

even thought I have not modified

dendron.yml

(Is that why it is broken for me?)

My requirement is to have it as

Table of Contents

on the landing page/index.html/root.md and

Children

everywhere else. I don't think latest change to set

hierarchyDisplay

per note will solve that problem, since

hierarchyDisplay

is a boolean, not a string.

this was a breaking change from the last update - we had a typo in the config. the configuration is now

hierarchyDisplayTitle

Just thinking outside the box, or rather outside the inputbox (api joke) and quickpick but vim for vscode has built in completion in the status/command line. Perhaps augment the quick input by handing off features that are best used with tab completion?

I changed the spelling in my

dendron.yml

. I still see 'Children`, not "Table of Contents"

https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/eea2b078-1acc-4071-a14e-18299fc28f48.html still uses the old spelling. I've sent a PR https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron-site/pull/77 for this

Is it

hierarchyDisplay

or

hierarchyDisplayTitle

?
