is there a way to pull the matched node text up into the edit box, so I can just "add to the end of that one"?

I don't think so AFAIK it's a vscode limitation

OK; feels like I'm going against the grain with it somehow

You could hit enter to open the note then use lookup again, then you'd have the full name in the lookup bar. But otherwise yes, this is a limitation with VSCode right now

That's a good enough way, thanks 🙂

I’m like you but for now I use the same method as @SeriousBug

Is there an easy way to bulk refactor vaults? I started out separating different areas into vaults which I now realize would work better as hierarchies. Planning to merge them, but would like to prefix the origin with a hierarchy when doing so. Any ideas?

I'd imagine there's a better solution than what I'm suggesting here, but if you have relatively few hierarchy roots in each vault, I think something like the following would work: Per vault to be merged- 1. Refactor each hierarchy in vault to be merged from

<domain>.[...]

to

<vault-name>.<domain>.[...]

. (the refactor command uses regular expressions) 2. Move all notes from

<vault-name>

into the main vault

oh thanks, that's a good idea, it seems the refactor allows regex when doing the lookup, but not allow the captured groups to be used in the result. Which makes it harder to just match everything and prepend something. So I think a bit more manual refactoring is the way to go and then yeah moving them over to the new vault.

yeah, might be a good feature request maybe, ability to use captured groups from the refactor match text in the replace prefix

@User @User There is a pending PR for exactly this 🙂 https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/pull/1796 I just need to do some clean up and testing. It doesn't let you scope notes to a specific vault yet, but that will be the next enhancement I will be working on for the refactor command.

You could always run these commands outside Dendron using sed or whatever and move the resulting notes into the main vault. If you follow this route you want to call Dendron: Doctor afterwards to fix front matter

I think you'd end up with broken links this way though

if you use them

Something else, is it correct that journal notes only get created one level of hierarchy max? so triggering a journal note from x.y will try to create x.journal.year.month.day instead of x.y.journal.year.month.day ?

Or did I mess something up in a my new merged vault 😂

You may need to play with the

addBehaviour

setting. I haven't tried (being on mobile atm) but according to https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/5c213aa6-e4ba-49e8-85c5-1bdcb33ce202/#daily-journal I would try setting it to

childofDomainNamespace

awesome, that's it! for me

childOfCurrent

was what I was looking for, for example for meeting notes in an area, so

specific-work-area.meet.journal.year.month.day.title-meeting

There are commands

Dendron: delete node

and `Dendron: rename note`; is there a distinction between node and note here?

delete node can work over both notes and schemas

ahh ok; I have only briefly seen schemas in the Amoeba pattern video, I will find out why they have nodes another time

is there a way I can convert an existing page into a Task/Todo page?

I had the same question a while back! As far as I know, any note/page becomes a Task/Todo page as soon as you add any of the Task/Todo fields to the YAML header. https://discord.com/channels/717965437182410783/903890505362993202/904071812223229952

I assume that's something that's very far off or maybe even impossible, but I wondered if you ever thought about a feature that allows embedding and executing code inside of notes (like in Emacs org mode)

it isn't quite the same thing, but the VScode Vim plugin has support for the filter command - does that fit the use case you have in mind?

is lookup via glob very... finicky for anybody else? for example, if I type

journals.*.2021.11.29

just straight in the lookup, it matches nothing. if I type

journals..2021.11.29

and then insert a

*

inside the empty dots after some matches have already appeared, it'll seem to match some things. if I begin typing again after that, all the matches will disappear. anyone else getting this?

I haven't seen anything like this yet, but there is a less embedded way that can happen in the "preview" mode. For VSCode this type of thing has generally fallen under the umbrella term of "notebooks", the most common of which being Jupyter Notebooks, as I understand it.

Hello everyone, probably stupid question here but I can't seem to find the Dendron: Site Build command as suggested here: https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/230d0ccf-5758-4a8f-b39b-3b68e1482e2b/ How should I go about it?

yep, this is true. we'll also add commands in the future to automatically fill in the frontmatter

its possible and maybe not as far off as you might think. no comments on timeline yet but that's all i say for now 🙂
