basalt/v0.12.0

0.12.0 (Jan, 18 2026)

Caution

BEWARE! This rename implementation does not cover updating the wiki-links. If you use the rename on notes that are referenced as wiki-links‚ these links will be broken after and needs to be manually corrected.

This release adds rename functionality to basalt. You can now rename folders and notes by hitting 'r' in the note explorer pane. However, beware, that the wiki-links are not updated as of now. This will be fixed in subsequent work #307.

Added

• 342fbd6 Add input modal with note and directory rename functionality by @erikjuhani

[!CAUTION]
BEWARE! This rename implementation does not cover updating the
wiki-links. If you use the rename on notes that are referenced as
wiki-links—these links will be broken after and needs to be manually
corrected.

Add an input modal that provides dynamic modal text editing. The modal
features a text input widget and cursor navigation, which supports
character-by-character and word-based movement. The vim-like modes are
limited. Only aforementioned movement and text editing.

The modal is integrated with the explorer pane, and is available by
pressing 'r' (default key binding) on the selected item. The rename
operation leverages the rename_note and rename_dir functions added
in affec53 and a347325, the vault is 'reloaded' after rename.

Dependencies

Fixed

• 5f9d342 Fix sorting to match Obsidian sorting

Fixes #69. Previously, when user sorted the vault items the folders
would also be sorted according to the same rules as notes, however, this
is not how obsidian sorts. Obsidian sorts only files by default, not
directories. Directories are initially sorted A-z, and then kept in that
order when sorting files.
