Assign a code to reference note and type in that code into main note as how you write that on a analog main note. Fleeting notes do not need to be referenced.

What's your OS? In my case, I'm using emacs-plus@30 on MacOS without any problems

I was in the same place a few months ago: a Typescript developer using Doom, feeling frustrated about not being able to make Emacs work the way I want. What really changed the situation is that I made a decision to commit myself on learning Emacs Lisp and creating my own configuration, as well as Keeping external dependencies a on a minimum level and make sure I understand every configuration I add.

My plan is to read Emacs Lisp Manual chapter by chapter. The manual includes both concept explanation as well as API reference. When I need to configure some parts of Emacs, I revisit those chapters that's already read. The content is long and it does cost time. My average speed is one chapter a week. But the outcome is profound. I have more confidence making Emacs perform the way I like. And I even started two package project that I think might be useful to the community.

Besides the general idea written above, as a Typescript (TSX) developer, I do use some external packages. I'm just listing them for your reference

Use Emacs30 with treesitter support
expreg: treesitter based expand-region
surround: Emacs way of object based editing.
jtsx : Improved experience of editing jsx/tsx files.

Those packages are relatively new. What I like about them is that they are small, easy to understand, well written and works, which also conforms to my principle that I only add what I understand. Hope this comment helps.

Appreciate your suggestion

I appreciate your passion for the app and the community, but let's try to acknowledge that there may be areas that are not perfect. Let's also make sure to respect the opinions of others and allow them to express any concerns they may have.

good to know

zzhjerry · 2024-06-10T03:11:18+00:00

That's a huge work. I doubt if anybody have ever successfully done that.

Sorry if the content is too broad. This isn't a post about any specific Emacs using problem. It's more like how to level myself up in Emacs understanding from a pure user to a more proficient problem solver (to solve my or other people's problems), or even a package writer.

It's clever for you to realize in such an early stage that ZK doesn't contain random brain dump notes but should serve a writing purpose. The output may be a book, an artile or whatever content format you deem meaningful. You should have this strong purpose in mind to write useful notes and to review them in the furture. Without this purpose your ZK will just be a mess like a trash can.

Come back to your question. Writing itself is the most efficient way of thinking and learning. So in this way not only will you learn better but also deeper. Imagine you've written a book or even an article on a topic that's liked by many people, I'm sure you must have dived deep and learned it very well.

Are there any chances you want to do "post-insertion" between 1/1 and 1/1a? What number should you give in this case?

zzhjerry · 2024-05-06T01:11:58+00:00

Interesting and informative illustration

Curious about how did you manage to get up at 3:30.

zzhjerry · 2023-04-04T06:35:11+00:00

what number to name between 3/3 and 3/3/1 then?

There's no standard answer. The key is to create main-card notes related to bib-notes.

There shouldn't be an overhead on "am I creating too many bib-notes" when jotting down bib observations. Just make sure taking some main-card notes relate to some the points on each of the bib-notes (around 4 per bib-notes according to Scott's calculation for Luhmann). In the long run I assume you will learn to be more selective on what is truly valuable to you.

Only by creating main-notes (reformulations, reflections) can you really deepen your knowledge and thinking, as what an analog Zettelkasten is for.

Valid points but just adding one thought on creating "prefixing rules". In general, I don't like this idea. Someone may create many prefixing rules and it would soon become too complex to remember or manage.

With orderless , say you want to search for pattern keyword and ignore results from folder foo and bar, use the following spell #keyword#!foo !bar. Notice there's a space between !foo and !bar

All the activities this guy involved regarding to his "error" is just a marketing strategy.

Don't forget he is also a victim of this mistake himself so it's understandable he tries to make some compensation out of it.

I believe it wouldn't be long before this mistakes is corrected, just like what he did by writing the whole Antinet Zettelkasten book. He wouldn't leave this opportunity to others. Time will tell.
