thanks for the tip, fixed!

Hi, changing a Dendron workspace could be nicer. I use the workplace switcher extension all the time for normal workspaces. It works like the lookup function in Dendron. So you can choose from a list of existing workplaces and filter them by typing part of the name. Much fast and works without the mouse and an explorer. Also is there an easy way of opening Dendron with the last workspace? I don't have it open all the time, but when i want to open it, it feels a bit strange to open a new editor window and than change workspace to have it open.

In

dendron.yml

we use

extract

or

link

for the

selectionMode

property. In

keybindings.json

we use

selectionExtract

or

selection2link

for the

selectionType

key. Perhaps it would help to use the same key-value names for consistency?

You are right. the names in

dendron.yml

used to be the same but has been change because we are in the middle of consolidating configuration related types. There are a lot of config keys in Dendron so we are doing these by increments. There will be a last bit of namespace consolidation which will then be followed up by cleaning up these old values.

the delete note command, then asks to confirm

but the first (default) action should be cancel (since that is a destructive action)

The Wiki search bar appears to be broken. Typing "Move Note" doesn't produce results; even when viewing the Commands page. User has to CTRL+f "Move Note" to find heading

Actually, now I see the glaring note to use "?" in front of FTS keywords when searching. I will say that "? Move Note" does not produce results for the Move Note heading (https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/eea2b078-1acc-4071-a14e-18299fc28f47/#move-note)

Is there a list of what's planned for Traits? I would love to see a hook for decorations as part of the trait's javascript. I'm guessing long term the plan is to move task notes to use this instead of being a custom thing, so making this part of the api would make sense.

Hi - the details can be found in this RFC: https://docs.dendron.so/notes/E8ZUvTzJ7cVOyZtqHiIKX/. Trait-specified decorations is part of the plan - and you're right about having the goal of converging with existing note type concepts like task notes. If you have additional ideas, there's a discussion post here that you can leave comments: https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/discussions/1876

thanks! this is the info i was looking for. i had found the github comment thread, but not the RFC. (maybe the comment thread should link back to the rfc rather than the doc page?)

I've now linked to the RFC from the discussion

Meta: just wanted to say that even though I'm much less active in Discord in recent months, the weekly reading club picks (both the link choice and reading about the how the piece relates to dendron)" and the "starboard/TIL" section are some of my favorite features of this community. I was pleasantly surprised to see both of these called out in the Changelog! Can't think of any other apps/communities that both maintain streams like this, nevermind included in the changelog alongside all the social and technical developments. Please keep it up!

@User! It's CROP time (every other Wednesday) 🙂 Please vote for your favored community issue 👨‍🌾👩‍🌾: 1. [Wildcard References - Ignore empty matches](https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/363) 2. [Option to automatically set the title in the yaml as the full title of the note](https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/613) 3. [Redirect Notesidhtml to Notesid on 404](https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/1803) 4. None of these (if there's an issue you'd like to add to rotation, please reply with a github issue). To vote, respond with a 1️⃣ 2️⃣ 3️⃣ or 4️⃣ to this message. Voting closes Monday at noon Pacific Time.

@User @User I've created an RFC to standardize how we document features in Dendron. any feedback appreciated 🙏 https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/discussions/2298

Is there any way to have wiki links (

[[link]]

) format text like Markdown links (

[link]()

? Reason: - I like the effect of having backticks around certain words

## How to install (Windows)
- Install `npm`

- This gives some neat highlighting and my eyes can scroll the screen looking for packages/modules/etc. - When using Markdown links, the styling is retained:

## How to install (Windows)
- Install [`npm`]()

- But when using wikilinks, it interprets the backticks as part of the word. You also don't get the styling.

## How to install (Windows)
- Install [[`npm`]]

- Same for labelled wiki links (

[[label|link]]

)

## How to install (Windows)
- Install [[`npm`|npm]]

You can't do that, but feature requests in both directions is welcome (wikilinks formatted as regular links, and also for supporting all these features with wikilinks too)

Right on. I'm still learning what types of links to use and when. Honestly, maybe I don't really like styled MD link. It doesn't seem to turn blue like a hyperlink. I'll probably just go with

[npm]()

.

Hi boyz girlz etc, have any of you ever tried using Dendron to manage personal tasks, like personal projects? I have a bit of trouble in my life keeping a vision of the whole project, and accomplishing the tiny tasks to get to it. I have thought of hierarchical project approach, where the smaller tasks stem from the parents in the hierarchy, and it's easy to navigate. Has anyone done that? Any other suggestions?

I'm using a combination of dedicated project notes, usually with a single to do list, but broken into smaller topic/phase-based sections where I need to, and daily journal notes which link out to these. My advice would be to start small and break things down as you find the notes become unwieldy to work with, else managing your to do list ends up feeling like a chore. Also worth noting that Dendron has a dedicated task note type[1], but I'm not using this yet. [1]: https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/SEASewZSteDK7ry1AshNG/

Hm... just realizing that

CTRL+L

does not search inside

vault/<anything below here>

.. Or is there a setting I can tweak to get into the vault?

are you talking about folders inside a vault?

Yes

how would you feel about using

ctrl-p

when you need those files

That sounds good. So... -

CTRL+L

for finding or creating a Dendron file -

CTRL+P

for finding a non-Dendron file

You may find this issue of interest: https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/2181 🙂

I need this to not happen every time I open VSCode, I'm usually just using IntelliJ 😛
