    with hierarchical note names it's less useful than say a flat system that only uses wikilinks. I definitely want to sit down and think about the UX of that feature at some point before even thinking of enabling it.

    what's happening for me is that I find myself very often making repeated references to things before they have any corresponding notes, and it isn't always clear in those instances whether or not I should just go ahead and make a stub, so I'm imagining candidate backlinks could help my workflow a lot

    if you are writing notes with the explicit knowledge that you can use the link candidates feature, it definitely would help.

    it probably would make sense to introduce some tooling around link candidates (e.g. code action that you can trigger when cursor is on link candidate to convert it to an actual link, bulk convert all candidates on active notes, etc)

    I'm wondering about something like using user defined phrases to define link candidates. Something like - there's functionality right now for converting a selection
    example selection
    into a link, e.g.
    [[exampleselection| example.note]]
    (lookup with selection2link) I wonder if it would make sense to have functionality for automatically/interactively converting that same phrase in other notes into links to that note on that action. which I guess could already be done pretty smoothly with all the find and replace functionality available, so I guess it would mostly just be a UI convenience

    insert note link support various alias modes and what you describe can be done on one instance of a selection right now (see: https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/eea2b078-1acc-4071-a14e-18299fc28f47/#insert-note-link) It is a matter of wrapping that into another convenience command that looks at the entire note.

    so we definitely have components for that feature πŸ˜„

    Sorry if this has been asked before β€” is there a way to specify where new notes are made? When I don’t have any open and use the look up tool, the new notes I made appear to be going to the templates folder

    I think if you add
    confirmVaultOnCreate: true
    in your
    dendron.yml
    , that you will be asked which vault on note creation. I should check

    Is nested under
    commands
    as so:
    Copy code
    yaml
    commands:
        lookup:
            note:
                confirmVaultOnCreate: true

    Ahh gotcha. Thank you! Anyway to specify a default or method I should be using to create them there, like maybe having a note in that vault open when creating?

    https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/98JMUIQUEKfU83f0MgMbF/ helps explain: > The default behavior is to create a note in the same vault of the current opened note. You can switch to a note in other vaults by opening a note there (eg. if you type root, you'll see a list of all vaults). You can set
    confirmVaultOnCreate
    to have dendron always prompt for a vault when creating a note. So new notes are created within the context of the note you are currently looking at within your editor and the vault that note is stored in

    I only found the note because I was like, "That's a good question. I hope we have it documented somewhere." ;P

    No problem! I was about to document it or get a thread going. I've made this mistake multiple times in multi-vault scenarios where I expected that the vault with the existing hierarchy would be where my new note would be created, but suddenly I have a note created in a vault that doesn't even have the hierarchy, so I was curious too as to what I was doing wrong πŸ˜…

    Hmmm makes me think could be a default behavior logic feature request....

    Hello, I'm almost certain this is a (basic) visual studio-related question, but I haven't been able to find it: is there any way to save the state of the panels in a workspace? Every time I open a new project I have to collapse the open editors, the tree explorer, open and resize the calendar, the outline, and backlinks. I would like visual studio to remind my configuration so I do not need to do it every time. Is that possible?

    Also, a question about schemas: Is it possible to store schemas and templates in a folder within a vault? (something similar as what you do with the seeds repo containing default templates) Does that make sense?
  • c

    I would like to have some schemas and templates defined per vault (which in turn is a remote vault), without messing with the actual notes

    I might be able to create a vault with them, but since I want schemas to be specific for several vaults (i.e. a people schema may use different templates in different vaults), I thought they should be within the vault they are going to be applied

    > is there any way to save the state of the panels in a workspace? VSCode should do this by default if you open the same workspace. I'm not sure about new projects > Is it possible to store schemas and templates in a folder within a vault? (something similar as what you do with the seeds repo containing default templates) Does that make sense? You can create a new vault just for schemas and store it there. we do have a backlog item to support vault specific schemas (you can specify which vaults/hiearchies a schema applies to) feel free to submit a feature request and we can track it in our roadmap: https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/new?assignees=&labels=&template=feature_request.md&title=

    I'm confused with seeds, though. They work great because they provide sensible templates and schemas, but since it is a git repo which I do not have writing permission (and for good reasons!), if I want to modify them, is quite annoying to see that I have to commit changes

    What's the right workflow if I want to modify schemas and/or templates?

    IIRC there is some logic implemented along the lines of check if the same hierarchy exists in the current fault or in one of the others but maybe it only suggests a vault using these heuristic if
    confirmVaultOnCreate
    is set to
    true

    you should be able to write to them, it’s pushing to github that requires a pull request
