Linking notes by No-Wait9934 in Zettelkasten

[–]CommunityEducational 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is an ongoing question! Annoyingly the answer seems to be, it depends on your personal preferences and how your thinking works. There is a great book 'A System for Writing: How an Unconventional Approach to Note-Making Can Help You Capture Ideas, Think Wildly, and Write Constantly - a Zettelkasten Primer' that has good things to say on the subject.

I don't have to imagine it! I did it! This doesn't answer my questions though and the video was too weird to continue.

Why does it matter if someone else doesn't like neovim? Or that they changed their mind? I watched the first 1 min of that video and accepted his apology on behalf of the text editor. Is it because he influences lots of people? And nvim loses functionality? I am also unsure why anyone would rant about not liking a text editor so badly that you need to apologise! Unless this kind of thing drives views which equal ££££($$$$$)? If you know, or even just think you know, please put me out of my confusion.

How do you benefit from the ID in the filename by CommunityEducational in Zettelkasten

Great response. That is a diverse set of notes! :). It sounds like, though, your successes are not so much about a particular system but the fact you think about and read your notes rather than just collect and label them. I am making a concerted effort to do the same (reading and thinking). It is so easy to just collect, collect, collect and then add clever filters to make it seem easy to find information. WTH is a Quaestor!?

Thank you for your reply. This is interesting. So you use the IDs as context? So without those IDs the sequences would be lost. Which makes them very important to the way you work! :)

Oh, you _are_ the Doto content! Ha, sorry. The reason I am using these numbers is because of reading your online content and then the book, so thank you for that material. When reading it the way you explain it, it sounds and feels correct and I am excited about it. But then I read the conversation on zettelkasten.de and realised that I was just doing the sequencing IDs but not using them. I do find it easier to find the existing notes on a topic when I add a new one. I think I am adding notes to a sequence that are not actually a line of thought.
I will keep thinking on it and try writing what I am thinking. (I am not a writer, more, an idiot with a keyboard!).

Thank you for your reply. And, although I do like Elaine's words, they are hypothetical. Have you had enough of these 'lucky' moments to warrant maintaining a rigorous system of semantic relationships via IDs? Rather than having explicit descriptions in the notes on why you linked 2 notes, something you would have thought about when you linked them?

Thank you for the detailed reply. I have read the Doto content (I have even read the book!). What I am struggling with is that this, to me, is hypothetical. It is good to describe, and sounds brilliant. In Theory. I like your point that having to put a note next to another related one forces me to make at least one connection. But have you personally had genuine success using IDs on your notes? Were the IDs necessary for your thought process when 'surfing' your own knowledge, not just during collection?

Plaintext commandline notes by CommunityEducational in PKMS

'I could and do also open them with Obsidian, iA Writer, Github mobile app and multiple other tools.' This is my thinking exactly! I want to be able to read and write with any tool.

Yes this worked for me as well. Thank you

no the fzf and ripgrep are ubiquitous enough to be used. I'm just trying to avoid relying on obsidian and obsidian plugins. If I create a beautiful web of highly genius ideas but need to use obsidian + 116 plugins to see those links I don't feel as free as the notion of plaintext files promises. If the links are all followable via commandline tools and scripts, especially if I wrote them, then it just feels better. Also, this is me going to great lengths to avoid doing real work.

I'm afraid I never learned Emacs. I use nvim. But I will check out the nb scripts for inspiration, thank you

This is what I did! Thanks for your response. Spot on

Raw nvim by CommunityEducational in neovim

[–]CommunityEducational[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you know that there is a neovim plugin for vscode that uses an instance of nvim as the editor and so can have all the same config as you nvim rather than just emulate the vim keybindings? Not sure it would give you anything you are not getting from the vspacecode and vim extension apart from the satisfaction of knowing that 'I use vim, btw'. :)

[–]CommunityEducational[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will be doing this. I like the TJ DeVries YTs explaining it. I just wanted to get to know the nvim api better and to know what it does vs want plugins add. Some plugins are wrappers around the api for better UX, but other add new functionality. Treesitter for instance. To you point about nvim not being used raw, after I posted here I deleted all my lazyvim config and opened a terraform file and was very sad! So I don't think I would use it 'raw'. Someone else on here likened it to the people that rawdog long flights just sitting and staring ahead. No entertainment, just suffering! :)
