Thank you!

I just wanted to let you know that zk inspired me to learn go.
And this is the first programming language that I actually spent a good time on. Before this I have been tried python and JS but they were not for me. I never considered go, because I thought it was that frugal language that google used internally and only suits the backend of huge data centers. Boy! How wrong was I?
When I discovered zk and played around with it for a few days, I enjoyed it so much so that I got curious about the code. And I took a look at it and got more and more curious. And now I'm in the middle of my second udemy course of go, doing some exercism and a lot of go time podcasts and I am excited to become fluent enough so that I can start familiarizing myself to the zk code base!
Thank you so much for your work!

zk was also my first experience with Go! I was looking for a language that made cross-platform easy, fast and without dependencies. Since then I've been using Go for all my CLI tools.

One of my favorite features of Go is the implicit interfaces, which is a like a safer duck typing: https://hackernoon.com/why-i-like-gos-interfaces-2891adf2803c And now that Go 1.18 is released with support for generics, I will eventually be able to simplify a lot of things in zk's codebase.

While your choice of using Go for this project is interesting, I'd just like to say thank you and appreciate the end result. For some reason zk just clicks for me, and after a couple weeks I am experiencing many productivity benefits. Best of all, I know as I continue to learn & grow, zk will grow with me without slowing me down. So, thank you!

Thank you for your kind words!

For couple of years i was looking for a such tool. Lately i was using Obsidian. But switching from Nvim to Electron app is a pain. Even if that is only few keystrokes away. :)
Most critical feature for me was the ability to search files by aliases or titles. For example aliases: [Neovim, Nvim] would return me a same file for booth search terms. You have no this feature, but title also is great enough option!
I don't get why people care about file names or even worst - directory structure. IMO that leads to a huge pain in the long term when you will decide to restructure your zettel. Or to rename the note.
So.. whatever.
I think you really nailed the feature set and main concept of this tool. zk-nvim also is so helpful!
So... BIG, BIG Thank You for making this!!!

Hi. 😉
I don't think you should think about this. I believe aliases handling is just Obsidian specific thing.
For me title works well enough, and i don't use aliases THAT often. I can live without this feature for sure.
But, yes it's about :ZkNotes and LSP autocompletion when linking to note. I can look up for note either by Neovim or by Nvim.
It's just a sugar (nice to have).

[mickael-menu]

:ZkNotes would require some work in zk-nvim, but for LSP autocompletion it should already be possible.

You need this in your zk config file:

[lsp.completion]
note-filter-text = "{{title}} {{path}} {{metadata.aliases}}"

This is the string that will be used when filtering in the completion pop-up. Note that not all LSP completion clients support filterText, if it doesn't work for you, you can try:

[lsp.completion]
note-label = "{{title}} {{metadata.aliases}}"

The only difference is that the aliases will be visible in the completion list with note-label.

As you can see, you can put whatever you need to complete on in note-filter-text. Take a look at https://github.com/mickael-menu/zk/blob/main/docs/config-lsp.md

What you describe above for aliases + LSP autocompletion suddenly made aliases much more relevant IMO. Very cool!

Thank you fellow Colemakian!

I also use Colemak-DH and Neovim.. Small world.

[dzintars]

Yeah Colemak is really nice.

But i still shaping my layout. Can't get my alternate hand motions right for special key binds.
Sorry for off-topic. 😏

Same I suck at hitting the top row. 😄 I created a layout where all the important programming symbols are on the home row when I press ALT. I've been using this for the past 10 years and don't have any wrist pain anymore!

[prmadev]

I once learned colmak. It was perfect. The fatal flaw was with compatibility, or when i was using systems other than my own. Though it was ten years ago. Is it better these days on the compatibility front?

It's still a pain, thankfully I work from home and I don't have to use other machines than my own! On the plus side, people are lost when on my computer. 😄

[dzintars]

Definitely! 😄 Colemak+Blanks+Tiling window manager are safer than any lock screen. 😄
