This is gonna sound like a dumb question -- this is my first time using workspaces. I want to sync my Dendron between my work (Windows) and PC (WSL2). I want to store them on GitHub so I can just push and pull whenever I switch computers at the end of the day (instead of say Dropbox). My concerns are: 1. I see this (https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/vsAxYld4zsbD2XjKoh7OP/) but the doc seems to be for publishing, which is not what I want to do, I simply want to store them. Can I just

git init

somewhere and go from there? If so, where should I do it, the workspace or the vault? 2. Would I be able to use the repo interchangeably between Windows and WSL2? IOW, are workspaces different between OS's which would render the repo to be OS specific. Bonus question: Where do I rebind

Ctrl + Enter

to something else because I create a new line quite often with that same keybind

If you want to synchronize everything in a single git repository, just run

git init

inside your workspace, add everything, and you're good to go. If you want to use a separate git repo for each vault (if you have multiple vaults), you'll want to: 1. run [Vault Convert](https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/eea2b078-1acc-4071-a14e-18299fc28f47.html#vault-convert) to turn your local vaults into git repositories 2. run

git init

inside your workspace to turn it into a [bare workspace](https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/c4cf5519-f7c2-4a23-b93b-1c9a02880f6b.html#bare-workspace)

you can rebind

CTRL+Enter

by adding a new keyboard shortcut for "Dendron: Goto Note"

Er. Hey. Now I have several task notes as children of assorted other notes. How do I go about listing or finding my task notes?

do they have "task" in their names, or just the frontmatter attributes?

Just the task-specific frontmatter attributes when I asked. I sort of worked around the immediate issue by adding a "task" tag to frontmatter, but I'm still wondering if there's a proper way to list and filter tasks.

I checked around since I'm not that familiar with the task note functionality; as far as I can tell, there's not much for that outside of text searching

You can search for the frontmatter key in VSCode's built in search. If you activate the regexp, you could search for

which should be pretty accurate

We are working on some query functionality that would make this more accurate and easier, which should be out sometime early 2022

Excellent. Thanks! and yeah

certainly does the trick for now!

Hello, are there any plans to make Dendron deployable as a webapp?

There is an issue for a browser-based Dendron: https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/795

Dendron also should already work with https://github.com/cdr/code-server. The browser based issue to make it work without a server

There are already some efforts to set up config files to auto-provision code spaces using GitPod (who has created a more strictly compatible VSCode Server backend for their service, which is also self hostable and fully open source).

Another project I've been watching is creating deployment code to automatically configure integration between Gittea, Drone-CI, and GitPod, to create a full self hostable backend. Not specific to dendron, but could be used with the above.

I didn't know about that, thank you!

hello all. I am trying to get started with Dendron on macOS, but find cmd+enter doesn't work for me at all when navigating links...it just shifts to the next line. This is with all extensions aside from dendron disabled. I opened a github issue, but thought checking here might be worth it as well. Any ideas to troubleshoot? https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/1750

Which type of link are you trying to use? If it's a wikilink between notes, like

[[target.note]]

, you might try using

fn + F12

. I don't think I ever set that key command myself, and it's what works for my on macOS. If you're trying an external web link, then all I know is that

cmd + enter

also doesn't work for me. I usually just press command and click on the link with my trackpad… but a key command would be a great addition!

@User both types of links do not work, but per the tutorial they should

strange that basic built-in behavior wouldn't work out of the box

Oof, yeah. I can't remember what all I initially had to do. Assuming you've already initialized the workspace, restarted VSCode, etc, then maybe there's a step missing from the new tutorials? I think @User and other people have redone them in just the last few days, so they're probably the best people to ask.

@User ok...cool. Yeah, I've restarted dendron, but I haven't yet created a new workspace...just working within the tutorial workspace. I'll try that. In the meantime, @User , if you have any suggestions, let me know

another question...I have an existing Obsidian knowledge base I sync with iCloud. Can I just point Dendron at this and use Dendron on the desktop instead? Or should I create a new dendron workspace in my iCloud directory and import the existing files?

Oh! Maybe try

control + enter

instead of

cmd

? I just tried that, and it did jump from one note to another. Maybe the target link needs to already exist?

hey, what do you know...control + enter works 🙂

looks like an oversight in the tutorial 🙂 thanks @User . I'll update the ticket

@User makes me wonder how production-ready dendron is. Out of curiosity...how has your experience been?

Glad that worked! I'm really happy with Dendron, so much that I've been donating a little each month. My use case for it is mostly for internal notes, like a digital bullet journal and a sort of "second brain" (for things I'm reading for my work or for my dissertation research). It's a huge improvement on the tools I was trying before, so much that I switched from using Atom to using VSCode just for Dendron. I haven't tried the publishing aspect of it yet, so I can't really say about that. I know that they've added a few people to the team in the last month or so, so I anticipate that any hiccups like this will get smoothed out soon. Other people do use both Obsidian and Dendron simultaneously, so maybe other folks will have a better perspective on how they feel compared to each other?

cool...thanks @User . I appreciate it. I'll be using it for unpublished personal notes as well...
