yeah, it's one of my favorite feature of dendron, makes for easier note-to-note exploration and way less clutter in the file system and editor in my experience

True! I'll keep trying what you guys tell me. Thank you.

My notes are organized roughly like this: daily.journal.2020.12.18 and then inside I have a section like this:

# Meetings
[[work.note.2020.12.18.Meeting wBob]]

Inside of this note is a section at the bottom like:

# Todo's
- [ ] Task @Who @Date
- [ ] Task @Who @Date

What I was wondering is if it is possible to setup a macro to put my cursor on the link in the daily.journal file, click a key combo, and then immediate insert the following below the entry:

# Meetings
[[work.note.2020.12.18.Meeting wBob]]
((ref: [[work.note.2020.12.18.Meeting wBob]]#Todo's,1))

This would be a time saver - I might be able to do something with Auto Hot Key but I would need to select the entire text of

work.note.2020.12.18.Meeting wBob

and then execute the function to somehow enter a carriage return and then enter the reference text (might be hard to not have the selected text deleted). Anyway - anyone else have a method of doing this?

vscode snippets lets you jump your cursor through defined placeholders with tab.

The snippet would have to capture the note link I am on and then print the ref string. So I m looking for CAPTURE and EXECUTE at once.

ah

I could, as a step in the direction, just make a snippet WITHOUT the note name and then manually type it. Just wondering - this would be a REALLY COOL way to gather your todo's for each meeting on your front daily page.

Even cooler - run a function to troll ALL of the notes that are linked on a page and create references to all the pages that have # Todo's 🙂

At the bottom of the main page of course - very slick!

I'm just starting out with dendron, so I'm not sure if there's already a feature for that. but vscode snippets have CLIPBOARD variables so I'm sure there's a way.

alright. back to work 😄

Maybe I need to look into creating a VSCODE plugin.

Well if you can do the following


[[work.note.2020.12.18.meetings.wBob]]

# All ToDos

((ref: [[work.note.2020.12.18.meetings.*]]#Todo,1))

Then you could extract all Todos

Oh oh - ok - you can wildcard like that - ok - a small tweak my schema and I will try that on the weekend. Now it’s Friday and I’m drinking! Thanks!

Have fun

Question does the inclusion with ref not count as back links?

is there a way to make dendron NOT install "Github Theme" extension on every update?

Currently not but would you be so kind and create an issue on github for it? https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/new?assignees=&labels=&template=feature_request.md&title=

sure, i've just reported the issue on https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/411

The reason for its inclusion is even gone xD if you inizialized a new Dendron Workspace some versions ago it set you up with a workspache with the Github Light theme selected.

yes, yes it does 🙂

@User @User you're right - this is a vestigial artifact. we'll clean it up for monday's release!

there's an Obsidian todo rollover that you could prob riff on

Thanks - I created a snippet to accomplish this - no need for a VSCODE extension.

yaml
    "reftodo": {
        "prefix": "reftodo",
        "scope": "markdown,yaml",
        "body": "((ref: [[work.note.$CURRENT_YEAR.$CURRENT_MONTH.$CURRENT_DATE.*]]#Todo's,1))",
        "description": "reference notes"
    },

I do wish I could embed these type of snippets into templates though - maybe that is a future capability?

Is there a way to have the todo's that are referenced to look like todo's and not bullets with [ ]?

That is a known bug.

i've been meaning to add template snippets to schemas. 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=

@User known bug that will be fixed not in the coming release but the one after that 😅

? Why the mention?
