Create a global journal note

Copy Note Ref

Header Selection

If you have a header selected while running this command, it will copy the note ref with the selected header to the next note ref.

Having the cursor within a header will also show a lightbulb for the Contextual UI Header Operations, which includes a Copy Header Reference quick fix. This will copy the note ref to your clipboard.

Block Selection

If you have some text selected, Dendron can insert block anchors to reference the region you have selected.

Range Selection

If you highlight multiple blocks, Dendron can create a range selection that spans the blocks selected. Watch the following video starting at the 10s mark for an example.

MultiVault

If you use this command in a multi vault workspace, Dendron will create a cross vault link to the note in question.

Delete

• shortcuts:
  • key: ctrl+shift+d
  • mac: cmd+shift+d

Delete a note or schema. A prompt will occur before deletion if any links will break that are referencing the note. When deleting a note and when the note is on the active editor, that editor is closed after running the command.

You can also delete a note from the explorer:

Delete Node

⚠️ This is a deprecated command. Please consider using Delete instead.

Insert Note Index

Insert a block that lists the direct children of the current note to cursor position.

The format of the block is as follows:

## Index

-   [[{ch1}|{noteName}]]
    ...

If used in a multi-vault workspace and noXVaultWikiLink is not set, the wikilinks will have a vault prefix added to avoid ambiguity.

Given the following hierarchy:

├── recipe
├── recipe.eggs
├── recipe.eggs.royale
├── recipe.eggs.deviled
├── recipe.eggs.benedict
├── recipe.eggs.florentine
├── recipe.bagel
├── recipe.bagel.with-gravlax
├── recipe.chicken
└── recipe.chicken.curry

Running this command with the note recipe open will insert the following at cursor position:

## Index

-   [[Eggs|recipe.eggs]]
-   [[Bagel|recipe.bagel]]
-   [[Chicken|recipe.chicken]]

Running it in the note recipe.eggs will insert the following at cursor position:

## Index

-   [[Royale|recipe.eggs.royale]]
-   [[Deviled|recipe.eggs.deviled]]
-   [[Benedict|recipe.eggs.benedict]]
-   [[Florentine|recipe.eggs.florentine]]

Random Note

Navigates to a random note in the workspace. By default, all notes are included in the set that can be navigated to with this command. This can be adjusted with the randomNote setting in the Dendron Config (see Configure (yaml)).

# Sample configuration in dendron.yml:
randomNote:
    include:
        - alpha
        - beta.foo
    exclude:
        - alpha.bar

This pattern would specify a set including all notes under alpha except for notes in the alpha.bar hierarchy. The set would also include notes under beta.foo*.

• If include is not specified, then the include matching pattern will match all notes.
• exclude takes precedence over include, so if the patterns are identical, no notes will match.

Dendron can now generate a changelog for your published site. Note that this feature is currently experimental and will only generate the changelog for your latest commit. It also requires that you be using git to store your notes. When enabled, this will add Changelog to your nav bar which will have your most recent commit.

This is the equivalent to the backlinks panel when using the desktop app.

Backlinks are automatically deduped and also work in a multi-vault setting.
