Kata

Kata is a simple automator for everyday note taking and journaling. It is a part of Teamed with Kata extension pack.

Each note entry will:

• be saved in .md file with name in date-name form like a 2018-06-13-todo.md
• have an YAML meta data header. It contains "title" and "tags" sections with autocompletion and can be extended.

🦄 Features

Automatic file naming and meta fill on new note (Ctrl+T)

Hotkey for todo state cycling (Ctrl+Shift+Q)

Tags autocompletion (Ctrl+Space)

Notes filtering by tags (F1 → Kata: Filter notes by tag)

Also

• Brief stats (F1 → Kata: Show statistics)
• Nested todos
• Works with old-fashioned cloud sync and git
• Grammar injection for theming ("closed" tasks dimming)
• All your files and notes are only yours.

🎮 How to install

1. Install Kata. Choose one of the options below:
   • directly from Marketplace OR from VS Code itself (View → Extensions)
   • If you need totally the same "screenshot-like" appearance and features like wiki links, graph, pdf export, etc, install Teamed with Kata extension pack instead and follow steps from it's description.
2. Create empty file named .kata and put it to your notes directory. If you have no notes yet create at least one .md file manually.
3. Open your notes directory from VS Code as a folder.
