    it seems that right now that is no navigation backwards available from the preview (unless you add explicit links)

    right. you would navigate using
    ctrl-tab
    via the editor

    Noob here, what is the best strategy for handling synonyms of words?

    @User you mean linking to synonyms?

    are you able to invoke it manually using
    ctrl + shift + p
    and typing
    Dendorn: Lookup
    ?

    you might have a keyboard shortcut that is conflicting with the default
    ctrl-l
    of lookup

    you can either remove the old shortcut or map dendron's shortcut to another key combination

    > 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
    > - rename to
    recipes.pizza
    > - tree view still shows a separate pizza note, and trying to expand
    recipes
    gives an error:

    > Reloading the window fixes this. > Maybe it's not the intended usage of rename command, but imho this should work) @User this is now fixed in 0.9.1 🙂 https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#bug-fixes

    Hi folks - back for day two of dendron. I can't seem to figure out to insert snippets? I see there are two dendron snippets defined todo and h3, how do I create a new note with one of these? lookup doesn't seem to find them. Auto complete doesn't seem to find them.

    hi @User , have you checked this one already: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/userdefinedsnippets

    thanks for that, the intellisense/insert snippet wasn't working but now it is (???) I was having some trouble with auto-complete yesterday, I would if there is some conflict in shortcuts etc? Anything to check for?

    hmm, nothing comes to mind. you might want to check keyboard shortcuts in general (e.g. insertSnippet)

    dendron initializes your workspace with the following settings to allow inline
    tab
    completion of snippets
    Copy code
    json
            "editor.snippetSuggestions": "inline",
            "editor.suggest.snippetsPreventQuickSuggestions": false,
            "editor.suggest.showSnippets": true,
            "editor.tabCompletion": "on"

    Hi everyone, i downloaded Dendron overnight and was looking into it to learn of different systems being used and wondered if someone can please help. I created a new daily note journal but this went into a new tree as opposed to a schema (?) - is this due to the schema.yml? I have not tweaked anything - just running from the installed workspace with example material. I have attached an image which hopefully explains the issue

    Also, @User I was having a look through your YT videos and saw in the video

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrhBNGMJQwE&t=111sâ–¾

    at 1:33 you have what looks like a TOC / MOC of your daily journals - is this something that is created automatically or do you update the listing with your new journal each day? thanks a lot in advance, and what a great product you have developed. Kudos to you!

I have not tweaked anything - just running from the installed workspace with example material. I have attached an image which hopefully explains the issue @User dendron has two notions for journal notes. there's is a regular journal note which is specific to each hierarchy. we also have a global Daily Journal Note which creates a daily journal (similar to roam) under its own hierarchy. it looks like you created the latter. by default, dendron will create Daily Journal Notes under the
    daily.*
    hierarchy. this will create the hierarchy you attached in your screenshot
    Copy code
    + daily
        + journal
            {date}
    the reason you see this is because dendron will create stub notes when creating notes that have parents that don't exist. in your case, creating
    daily.journal.{date}
    ,
    daily.md
    and
    daily.journal.md
    didn't exist so dendron stubbed them for you. the reason we do stubs is because we don't want to litter your file system with empty files. stubs are a compromise - they let you see the hierarchy of your newly created notes without forcing you to create intermediary files

Kudos to you! @User currently this is something that is done manually. we have an issue to do it automatically: https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/57 please upvote and chime in with suggestions and it'll help us prioritize 🙂

    Btw, when I see that plus sign in stubs I expect it to create the missing note when clicked))

    @User thanks for the response on the journalling point. I think I have got it now. I might have to take you up on an onboarding session
