  • Help with emacs evil shotcut to change per mode
    1 project | /r/emacs | 23 Sep 2023
    Where I define shortcuts for different action p for project actions (Pressing SPC - p opens project actions) , n for denote and so on. And for denote for example I do something like this:
  • orgmode mega-files or many individual files?
    4 projects | /r/emacs | 17 May 2023
    The denote page is here, https://protesilaos.com/emacs/denote , and the code can be acquired on github https://github.com/protesilaos/denote

  • Is there something like org roam but for files?
    2 projects | /r/emacs | 14 Dec 2022
    Yesterday, somebody found out that filetags do share some similarities with Prot's denote which is discussed here: https://github.com/protesilaos/denote/issues/117 You might want to read that as well. I added a comment with a few remarks how I'm using the concept within Emacs Org mode.
  • org-roam vs org-super-links
    1 project | /r/emacs | 20 Sep 2022
    I am in the same boat. I have never been able to shake the feeling that org-roam is unnecessarily complex and reinvents the wheel a bunch; which might or might not be true, but for all my use cases so far, I haven't needed/used a feature that warrants so many moving pieces. I have a todo item to move my notes from org-roam to denote instead, which I am eyeing for its apparent simplicity.
  • note-taking without org roam.
    3 projects | /r/emacs | 17 Sep 2022
    Try denote. I use it a lot, Im happy with it.
  • How do you organize your notes?
