Emacs: sequence notes with Denote (denote-sequence.el)
Raw link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27krzVtflQY
In this ~21-minute video I demonstrate the new optional extension for
Denote that I am developing. The denote-sequence.el is part of the
denote package. Its purpose is to streamline the creation of
“sequence notes”, i.e. files that have an inherent relationship
between them. The sequence is represented as a number.
Note that the code is in-development and will be released as part of Denote version 3.2.0. I still plan to make some refinements, though the core functionality is already done.
About Denote
Denote is a simple note-taking tool for Emacs. It is based on the idea that notes should follow a predictable and descriptive file-naming scheme. The file name must offer a clear indication of what the note is about, without reference to any other metadata. Denote basically streamlines the creation of such files while providing facilities to link between them.
Denote’s file-naming scheme is not limited to “notes”. It can be used for all types of file, including those that are not editable in Emacs, such as videos. Naming files in a consistent way makes their filtering and retrieval considerably easier. Denote provides relevant facilities to rename files, regardless of file type.
