Intro to org roam in neovim in 21 minutes

[@user-eg6nq7qt8c]

Whoah, this is very interesting. I mostly use nvim but still fire up emacs in terminal mode as well just for org-roam. It's pretty seamless. Org in emacs just has so many good features.

[@senkwich]

I installed and started configuring Emacs just so I could try out orgmode and org roam, but ended up wanting to stick with purely neovim due to familiarity with the tooling and Lua language integration. I've found that the nvim-orgmode plugin does the bulk of what I'd want - agenda, calendar, TODOs, folding, etc - and with this plugin I've got what I believe to be what I'd like in Roam functionality. Give it a try and let me know what you think!

It looks really cool. I was looking for Neorg plugin but this one is also super cool! Can't wait for an update!

[@senkwich]

I think there was a different plugin to support roam functionality in neorg. So you may already have what you need! Glad you found this plugin interesting, though :D

[@paulohl7370]

I'm super excited about this! I'll give it a try one of these days...

[@senkwich]

When you do, I hope you find it useful! There's a discussion section on the github repo, so feel free to drop in thoughts there as well. :)

[@stonedz]

This is what I was looking for, thank you !

[@senkwich]

Fantastic! Hope it's helpful! :)

Great video! I have a question tho. What did you do so that you will only see the name of the link and not the entire link? like in 7:56 I am really struggling with this.

[@EliasX962]

hey nice video! btw which microphone are you using it sounds great!

[@senkwich]

It's an EV RE20 :) I have it hooked up into some audio hardware to filter out a little bit of noise as well.

[@gazzarDev]

I was wondering how you toggled the link display here 07:52 I have org roam and org mode and also headlines installed but I can't get this feature!

[@senkwich]

Do you mean showing the concealed link? This is something you need to configure via neovim conceal, which is mentioned in github.com/nvim-orgmode/orgmode?tab=readme-ov-file#links-are-not-concealed

[@gazzarDev]

​@@senkwich Thank you very much, Now it works

[@abursuk]

Cheers! thnx fr the video, I got one question: if I move the node(fle) o another director(inside root ofmode directory), will links from it and to it remains in tact? Should I use special function inside nvim to move nodes or can I do this by OS tools? thnx again!

[@senkwich]

As long as the file is within the designated org roam directory, you can move and rename files and the links will not break. This is because the links created use IDs that map to those within the :PROPERTY: drawers of nodes. If you rename/move a file with neovim already open, you'll probably need to run either `RoamUpdate` or `RoamUpdate!` to refresh.

[@deelinuno9785]

cool but how to render images?

[@senkwich]

You need github.com/3rd/image.nvim updated to support orgmode.nvim, which is the plugin that org-roam.nvim uses.

I wonder how you get shift-enter to work. There's many posts e.g. on stackoverflow showing that shift-enter is usually interpreted the same as enter in terminal programs.

[@cygn]

apparently one workaround is to use ctrl-shift-enter. But even for that I also had to add a binding to alacritty to make it work.

[@senkwich]

​ @cygn I'm using wezterm, and don't recall having to do anything to get shift-enter to work. Been awhile since I dabbled in my configurations, though.

[@darkarie]

I have a question, are the nodes (notes) associated to lines or words from other text/code? What I mean is, could I associate a note to a specific line of a file?

[@senkwich]

Nodes link to the top of the file or the specific heading containing the id. You can use file links to specify a line number, but those aren't nodes. :) If you use the node buffer to see backlinks, you can use the backlink to jump to the specific line and column where you have the link.

[@AntonyXavier-v9j]

really love your nvim font , may i know the name of the font ?

[@senkwich]

It's been awhile since I set it! I think it's JetBrains Mono, which comes as one of the fonts bundled with WezTerm. wezfurlong.org/wezterm/config/fonts.html
