Zettelkasten.nvim

To develop / debug:

start neovim with nvim --cmd "set rtp+=$(pwd)" . to automatically load the files in project dir as if they were on path

TODO: feature wishlist

• note creation (new anchor)

  • create anchor
    • unique anchor creation
  • create link (md / wiki)

• link creation (to existing note)

  • list existing
  • create link (md / wiki)

• link following (to existing anchor)

• note search (title / full-text)

• note listing (anchors / titles, no anchor)

  • list anchors
  • list filenames

• jump to zettel (open existing anchor)

  • select by anchor
  • select by (fuzzy) title match

• options

• zettel anchor separator

• zettel extension

• zettel anchor regex

• backlinks (via rg for filename anchor?)

  • keep tree of notes cached?

• completion engine (e.g. for completion-nvim, look in completion_buffers/completion-tags for reference)

• zettel caching for big directories

• zettel maintenance

  • fix malformed anchors
  • add missing anchors
  • 'rename' anchor (goes against stability?)
  • recognize duplicate anchors (in directory, when listing, etc)
    • provide option to rename and automatically change backlinks

• anchor creation

  • must be unique
  • default: 10 digits, usually current date+time (YYMMDDHHmm)
  • but, if multiple links created within one minute (or other circumstances), this would duplicate
  • thus, duplicate-check before creating a new anchor
  • if duplicated, generate first non-duplicated link (recursive?)
  • try to move backwards through minutes not forward
    • i.e. if 2030101200 exists move to 2030101159, 2030101158, ...
    • if moving backwards, we do not take away id space from future note creation
    • if moving forwards, every zettel created within a minute would delay next zettel creation another minute
