Todo Notes

Manage todo and take notes in markdown.

Features

• Move todo contents to notes directory when the todo task is completed.
  By using the Complete Todo and Copy to Notes command (ctrl+d or cmd+d), the contents of the checkbox at the cursor's location are copied to the notebook.

• Links to image are automatically updated to the relative link from destination notes directory.

• Metadata can be added to each todo task. Metadata is converted to yaml front matter in the destination note.

  • You can add any metadata in following syntax:
    [metadata]: # (YOUR_METADATA_KEY_VALUE_IN_YAML_FORMAT)
  • Special metadata:
    • [metadata]: # (Tags: []): Tags of notes. Notes are categorized by tags in tree view.
    • [metadata]: # (Title: ): Title of note markdown. The title will be inserted on the first line of the note. Default is the text of checkbox.
    • [metadata]: # (FileName: ): File name of note where todo contents will be copied.
    • [metadata]: # (FolderPath: ): Specify the path from workspace where note file will be created (Default: The value of todoNotes.saveNotesPath setting).
    • [metadata]: # (AppendMode: ): Change append mode (Append/Overwrite/Increment) of this todo contents. See Extension Settings for details of append mode.

  

• Tree view is generated based on the tags of each notes.
  Tags need to be specified in yaml front matter of each note files.
  For example:

  ---
  Tags: [TAG_A, TAG_B]
  ---
