Zettelmaking

A set of scripts to assist you in creating "a partner in communication"

Requirements

The zx script requires:

• fzf
• xclip

Assumptions

What counts as a note?

Any markdown file (.md) named without spaces containing a yaml heading.

---
title: Communicating with Slip Boxes
id: 202212161604 
type:
keywords: []
---

To be precise, only the title: entry is mandatory. The header and id are automatically generated by the zn script.

Take a look at the Examples folder included in this repo.

Usage

How these scripts might help you?

The "meat" is the script named zx (a short for: Zettelkasten Explorer).

Calling zx lists all the notes in a given folder. The list is showed using fzf.

Once fzf is in the scene, sky is the limit. You can:

• type a term to filter the list and see only files matching your search (reloads automatically)
• Or hit:
  • enter: simply edit selected note(s)
    • once you do that your n(vim) quickfix list is populated with the title of the selected notes (:h quickfix, :h quickfix-window).
  • ctrl-b: search for backlinks to the currently selected note
  • ctrl-e: send the note be edited remotely (using nvim session)
  • ctrl-y: copy the id of selected note(s)
  • ?: to preview the note selected (? is the default command of fzf)
• Or create anything you want
