Hi. New to dendron. Looks promising but having problems with lookups. Right now. the lookup shows nothing whatsover, even when using the basic cli example.

Is there a way to link internally to the same note?

user

Like a link to the current document in the document? If so link note ref command and paste in the same document

user

I should have been more specific, linking to a heading for example. So I can reference different parts of the same doc internally :)

OHHHh I know of the 'section:' tag then have the sections in~~ dictionary~~ list for it like you define children, it is in the scheme and define the sections. I haven't used it myself but it is in the example schemes. @User

Copy code

yaml
# --- types
- id: types
  children:
    - generics
    - modifiers
    - union
    - intersection
    - interface
- id: generics
- id: modifiers
  sections:
    - partial
    - readonly
- id: union
- id: intersection
- id: interface

@User hope this helps still playing around with dendron myself ❤️

Then I think linking to it notation wise to it would work probably like how you'd link a section in jekyll environment is my best guess

user

Yeah I am used to something like this? [[Journal|projects.electromagnetic.journal#28/08/2020 13:49:07]]

user

08/31/2020, 2:02 PM

where the # takes you to the heading of the md document

user

08/31/2020, 2:02 PM

thats a really nice example though, thank you for your detailed help :^)

I stole it from the just a small section of gist @User schemas gist

user

08/31/2020, 2:03 PM

so np

@User I tried that notation and it seems to just make a note with the name of so yours would make: "Journal|projects.electromagnetic.journal#28/08/2020 13:49:07" Not sure how to link but technically sections are a thing!

@User you might want to check that you have dendron properly installed

Dendron: Open Logs

using the command prompt and send me the output?

> I tried to use Rename Note command to move a note to another place in hierarchy. The tree view got really confused about this: > - create note

pizza

recipes.pizza

recipes

gives an error:

> good question, since I wasn't totally sure I did it anyway. I guess window reloading will re-initialize everything in vscode memory (?), but if there would be e.g. cache files somewhere, those wouldn't be refreshed. There probably aren't any of those in place atm, but eh, better safe than sorry @User no cached files atm so window reload is good 🙂

Hi folks, I am trying to get the basic shortcuts down. When I create a link [[newlink]] what is the shortcut to create that note automatically?

kevins8

08/31/2020, 5:54 PM

go to definition

shortcut (

f12

) by default

rhaynes

is there a complete list of these for the mac? and what is the location to change them? (I am using vscodevim for vi keybindings - if that makes a difference)

kevins8

08/31/2020, 5:57 PM

vscode -> https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/keybindings#_keyboard-shortcuts-reference

kevins8

08/31/2020, 5:57 PM

for dendron, you can run

Dendron: Show Help

to see all shortcuts of builtin commands

cmd-L for lookup seems to be selecting a line rather than starting lookup (even though when I started up visual code studio I see a dialog saying that dendron is active)

kevins8

08/31/2020, 6:11 PM

you might have another shortcut that is conflicting. you can find conflicts here: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/keybindings#_detecting-keybinding-conflicts

Copy code

{
  "key": "cmd+l",
  "command": "expandLineSelection",
  "when": "textInputFocus"
}
