    I think that's absolutely the case, and for now I'm straddling both. It would be nice to only need one editor for all my stuff though
  • s
    It makes it hard to share community developed functionality and tooling between the projects.
  • b
    I'm really just using vim these days. I don't even have vscode installed, at the moment
  • t
    I will need to look up some of these terms, but I get the gist. Obsidian "has one foot in FOSS" and wants to pull into proprietary where it can once it has the market share
  • t
    The dream
  • s
    If both were using codemirror, that would make a significant difference.
  • t
    I apologize, can you give me a short overview of what codemirror is used for and how monaco is different?
  • s
    I also frankly feel like the command pallet functionality / CLI functionality would be better if they were modular scripts. (TBH I need the double check project code to verify if that isn't the case ATM).
  • t
    Referring to my earlier map of "note types", do you keep all of that in Dendron or do you keep some of it elsewhere?
  • s
    Monaco is the code editor used by Microsoft for VSCode and other related / derived projects.
  • s
    Codemirror is used by pretty much every other FOSS / Proprietary IDE.
  • b
    everything you put in there fits comfortably in Dendron for me. I do use zotero for organizing bibliographic data, but it's secondary to the bibliographic notes in my notebase
  • b
    but I don't make quite the same distinctions in my note-taking practice
  • b
    as you describe
  • s
    Most of obsidian's plugins are codemirror plugins with some extra obsidian interfaction / function calls wrapped on top. So fairly low involvement to port.
  • t
    Ah, I see. So it's the core functionality that allows you to type, save files, etc?
  • t
    How do you think about it? I'm still formulating my thoughts on what works best for me
  • s
    literally the embedded editor functionality.
  • t
    Port into Dendron? Or vimscript
  • b
    I have one hierarchy for zettlekasten-like "permanent" notes, one for bibliographic notes, one for outputs, and one as a technical reference
  • t
    Gotcha. I think that's pretty close. Sounds close to a PARA layout
  • b
    and the same scratch and journal hierarchies that most dednron vaults have
  • t
    Are those in different vaults or the same?
  • b
    at a distance maybe?
  • b
    within a single vault
  • t
    Yeah, if I'm matching patterns and squinting. It helps me have a "hook" from which to integrate new information
  • b
    I don't think it's a good analog - I've tried PARA before, and the structure I have now I experience as quite distinct from it
  • t
    Gotcha
  • t
    Do you happen to have a "tour video" of some sort? I'd love to see how you keep it all in VIM
  • t
    I suppose I'm giving this a lot of thought because I'm assuming I'll be using the setup for years and years and I want to get it right. But as you said, I can manipulate files and directories in the future if need be
