thanks. i will look at it in more detail

In a code snippet in the "body", if this, $CURRENT_DATE, is the variable to get the date, what is the variable to get the current day, e.g. Tuesday? And, where are all similar variables listed?

Check out this page: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/userdefinedsnippets#_snippet-syntax

> what is the variable to get the current day, e.g. Tuesday? Should be

$CURRENT_DAY_NAME

@User Amazing! Thank you.

I use

$CLIPBOARD

and

$TM_SELECTED_TEXT

a lot 😄

Is there a way to simply reference the outline (headers) of a note in another note?

you can do

[[some.random.note#Header]]

or did you mean ALL the headers in a note?

yes, all headers, and just the headers

I don't believe that's supported yet.

When we initialize a workspace, does it recommend Dendron plugins that are no longer needed? I saw a few that hadn't been updated in years as suggested

is there a definitive list of the right plugins to have?

I was more referring to some of the dendron specific ones that were rolled into the "parent" dendron one i htought

I added the

defaultScratchAddBehavior: childOfCurrent

setting in dendron.yml, but it doesn't seem to work; meaning, creating a scratch note still prefills as

scratch.2021.04.20.091912

for example.

even if you have the text

important

selected?

scratch.2021.04.20.092052.important

hmm. that is weird.

this is not dendron specific, but does anyone know why the brackets for markdown checkboxes are yellow no matter what theme I'm using? I sometimes use light theme (gasp) and I can't even see them.

@User Adding

defaultJournalAddBehavior: childOfCurrent

in dendron.yml doesn't seem to work either

Do you mind sharing your

dendron.code-workspace

?

Do you have any syntax highlighting on markdown? that could be a possibility.

I just found it - it was from another journal extension that was globally changing the color for all markdown files for some reason (seems like a bad idea!). I don't usually use checkboxes so didn't notice until working with the Dendron tutorial!

Extensions do have conflicts / unwanted effects some times 🙂 pretty frustrating when you have a lot of them.

yes I have a bad habit of installing tons of extensions and then forgetting about them 😆

I was just like that until my laptop gave up on starting up vscode. It would freeze for a few minutes. Or just shut down if I had other heavy things running 🙃

currently you can use the outline view provided by vscode: https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/f7ebd4aa-8ba7-4bc5-bd00-a1efc5315f07.html#outline-view

hmm, this is the list of extensions that Dendron recommends: https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/301e4129-6933-4be7-a4bd-8125171360d8.html vscode itself might also recommend other extensions that are good for markdown

most of my spring cleaning is uninstalling digital things that I no longer use 😅
