# telekasten.nvim
## Neovim (lua) plugin for markdown zettelkasten, based on telescope.nvim
A Neovim (lua) plugin for working with a markdown zettelkasten, based on telescope.nvim
## Install and setup
**MS Windows note:** At the moment, telekasten is unlikely to be able to run on Windows, because it relies on a bash script. Just sayin. Since telekasten is a project that scratches my own itch, I am not sure if I will add Windows support any time soon. Should anyone read this: Pull requests are welcome 😄! Replacing the daily finder by a proper lua version should do the trick.
### 1. Install the plugin
Install with your plugin manager of choice. Mine is [Vundle](https://github.com/VundleVim/Vundle.vim).
```vimscript
Plugin 'renerocksai/telekasten'
```
### 2. Configure telekasten
Somewhere in your vim config, put a snippet like this:
```vimscript
lua << END
require('telekasten').setup({
home = vim.fn.expand("~/zettelkasten"),
dailies = vim.fn.expand("~/zettelkasten/daily"),
extension = ".md",
daily_finder = "daily_finder.sh",
-- where to install the daily_finder,
-- (must be a dir in your PATH)
my_bin = vim.fn.expand('~/bin'),
-- download tool for daily_finder installation: curl or wget
downloader = 'curl',
-- downloader = 'wget', -- wget is supported, too
}
```
### 3. Install the daily finder
Before using telekasten, a shell script needs to be installed. It finds and sorts notes the way we want. As long as I don't have a lua version for this functionality (this is literally the first time I use lua), we will have to stick with `daily_finder.sh`.
Luckily, the plugin can install the daily finder for you, directly from [GitHub](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/renerocksai/telekasten/main/ext_commands/daily_finder.sh):
```
:lua require('telekasten').install_daily_finder()
```
This will download the daily finder into the `bin/` folder of your home directory - or the directory you specified as `my_bin` in the step above.
## Use it
The plugin defines the following functions.
- `find_notes()` : find notes by file name (title), via Telescope
- `find_daily_notes()` : find daily notes by date (file names, sorted, most recent first), via Telescope
- `search_notes()`: live grep for word under cursor in all notes (search in notes), via Telescope
- `insert_link()` : select a note by name, via Telescope, and place a `[[link]]` at the current cursor position
- `follow_link()`: take word under cursor and open a Telescope file finder with it: selects note to open (incl. preview)
- `install_daily_finder()` : installs the daily finder tool used by the plugin
- `setup(opts)`: used for configuring paths, file extension, etc.
To use one of the functions above, just run them with the `:lua ...` command.
```vimscript
:lua require("telekasten").find_daily_notes()
```
## Bind it
Usually, you would set up some key bindings, though:
```vimscript
nnoremap <leader>zf :lua require('telekasten').find_notes()
nnoremap <leader>zd :lua require('telekasten').find_daily_notes()
nnoremap <leader>zg :lua require('telekasten').search_notes()
nnoremap <leader>zz :lua require('telekasten').follow_link()
" note: we define [[ in **insert mode** to call insert link
inoremap [[ :lua require('telekasten').insert_link()
```
