consult-org-roam VS deft

If you want to have live previews for searching notes and links within those, you could use consult-org-roam. This packages enables efficient navigation of your org-roam-notes.

Check out consult-org-roam, and in particular the recently added consult-orgroam-buffer

I’ve been using consult-org-roam-search from the consult-org-roam package recently, and have similarly felt it to be very handy for when titles and tags aren’t enough.

If you're using vertico/consult stack, there's this https://github.com/jgru/consult-org-roam

I've heard good things about the package consult-org-roam. There's also a thread with suggestions on integrating keyword search into org-roam.

Maybe you want to have a look at https://github.com/jgru/consult-org-roam which offers previewing of backlinks and forward links.

Other replies mentioned consult several times, however, instead of it's default functionality or custom functions, I rely on consult-org-roam which can be found on Melpa. It offers several helpful functions such as consult-org-roam-rg-search.

If, like me, OP is a little slap-dash, happy-go-lucky, can't-decide-what-to-use, lazy, or uncoordinated, https://github.com/jrblevin/deft is a pretty handy package.

For (neo)vim users, there's notational fzf [1], which also requires fzf to be installed [2]. For Emacs, there's Deft [3]. They all what to me are nvalt's core functionality which is fuzzy search into quick note creation/editing. They can also be used in conjunction with nvalt or other markdown based applications since all of them use plaintext. For Deft, you can also choose to create .org files.

Check out Deft.

Take a look at Deft, this is what I use.

I like deft for this.

Honestly I've been in the same boat as you for ages and have even tried writing my own zettelkasten packages here and there on top of things like deft (I started with zetteldeft, which shows).

Is there an easy way to move a ton of org files into org-roam? I've used just a flat directory of org files that I've searched with the excellent Deft package for years, and I'd like to give org-roam a whirl. Is there an easy way to import all those notes in bulk? (Don't all notes need an ID?)

‘Course, there’s an Emacs command to do that: Deft mode.
