Just alt tabbing to another window would be better then :P! I'll see if I can wip something up with JS

Thats would be one way of doing it. The other would probably need some coding / scripting fu to execute a dendron cli command to add the note to a workspace

ooohh

that sounds actually very nice, and I could make a script that works with my terminal editor

Then you may want to look here https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/23a1b942-99af-45c8-8116-4f4bb7dccd21/

I have been meaning to do this with https://github.com/johnlindquist/kit, but haven't gotten around to it yet. Seems like a very promising project, and so much fun to play around with 😄 Here's the landing page - only takes a couple of minutes to download, install, and start running code: https://www.scriptkit.com/ Mac only for the moment, Linux and Windows on the way (may be possible by building from source).

tldr; Spotlight/Alfred, but it's all just snippets of JS/TS in a folder.

Thank you!

Ohhhh this looks cool

Here's one that makes a new daily journal note in markdown: https://www.scriptkit.com/johnlindquist/new-journal-entry

Ah and this one appends/inserts into a markdown file quite nicely - it's the one I planned to extend for org-capture style "send to Dendron from anywhere": https://github.com/johnlindquist/kit/discussions/414

Reminds me of Automator: https://support.apple.com/guide/automator/welcome/mac, but for the present era. I.e. JavaScript/TypeScript instead of AppleScript/JavaScript, way easier sharing of scripts, and (hopefully) cross-platform. Looks really neat!

I know you can be reductive and say that everything belongs to some hierarchy. But what are some examples of things that naturally resist a hierarchy? I don't mean subjectively: different people prefer different amounts of hierarchy for different things. I mean things that are objectively resistant to being in a hierarchy.

Doesn't have to be specific examples. Could be ambiguous/vague examples, or patterns, or something.

Anybody else also used their dendron vaults with other editors? Like Typora or LogSeq, how is the experience?

I'm not always in VSCode and for certain stuff I like the WSIWYG approach

Hi. Does anyone know how to configure the default editors for external file links? Currently, when I click the pdf link in the markdown preview, chrome is called. What I really wanted is to stay in vscode and use vscode-pdf

I prefer WYSIWYG (to some extent) too. Markless, one of the better WYSIWYG markdown extensions I've found (all other extensions work, etc) is at a fairly comfortable state for daily use. Here's a video of it: https://discord.com/channels/717965437182410783/743194856788328497/896331597559791617 And here's a thread with some more discussion around the Markless extension: https://discord.com/channels/717965437182410783/743194856788328497/896414528898740225

I use scratch notes for it mostly but not sure if this works outside Dendron. What I'm playing with within a Dendron workspace is a multi-command sequence to go to my daily journal entry and move cursor to the bottom, add a heading with a timestamp to let me type. Mostly works but I miss goi g back to the previous place so not really like org-capture

Ohh very nice, thank you for the help! But viewing dendrons markdown files in other editors isn't a big problem? I once tried Zettlr and whenever I opened a markdown file in VSCode from it, I got some weird discrepancies

Yea I'm really looking for a seamless way to make a quick note that's up for easy reread later one while programming

anything where you are categorizing something where the categories are generic and can apply to many domains. an example: you’re writing tutorials and want to categorize by difficulty level. instead of - tutorial.lvl.{num}.{title} you want to use ‘lvl’ as a tag instead

I have a workspace with several vaults, each in its own repo. I can add a colleague to this vault on GitHub and they can add it as a remove vault. But if I have a repo for the whole Dendron workspace or they do, what happens then? The sync seems broken. Do people who have the whole workspace as a repo should also make one just for the vault and share this?

workspace-sync

I've used Typora before, to read and edit notes that I initially made in Dendron. And I edit notes on my phone continually throughout the day. For me at least, the trickier part would be making entirely new notes outside of Dendron, then remembering to "import" them so that Dendron is aware of them (so they're effectively in Dendron's vault rather than just being in the same folder). And there can be weird discrepancies sometimes. I recently started using the Notebooks app on my phone, which is one of the few markdown editors I've used that really requires 4 spaces for a new level of indentation in lists. So I've had to change some files to keep it happy. That's about the biggest "issue" I've run into, and as far as I'm concerned it's really just an annoyance.

Lemme just make sure I understand what you're saying. Are you saying that you want to use

tutorial.lvl

to mean both the level number and the level difficulty, and that's where the resistance lies? I.e. the meaning of the hierarchy is unclear since some part of it could be interpreted in a different way? Or, did I misunderstand what you were saying?

tags-vs-hiearchies

Ohh thank you, a great perspective!

Not sure if I misunderstood you or not here, but Markless is an extension so it is in VSCode and with Dendron.

Hi, a couple questions from a newcomer: * Is the name "Dendron" based on rhododendron? Just curious 🙂 * Best practice for configuring "automatic" synchronization"? Is it recommended to use auto-git or some other extension? * How to have daily journal notes with a path like "daily.2021.10.25.md"? When I set either dailyDomain or name to an empty string, the filename contains one dot too much. * Is it possible to have daily journal notes generated using a per-vault configuration? I.e. for the "work" vault I want them to be at "notes.2021.10.25.md" and for the "personal" vault at "daily.2021.10.25.md". * Is there a way to automatically insert a template when creating a (daily) journal note? (Please confirm if I should look into onCreate hooks?)
