Workspace Notes

Access markdown notes quickly from workspace, while managing notes in a single repository.

No black magic, with minimum assumption. Only rely on tag workspace: /path/to/it.

Usage

First, set workspaceNotes.noteRepoPath to your note directory. In my case it's ~/Documents/WorkspaceNotes.

Workspace Notes: Create a New Note command can create a new note associated to current workspace.

  • Workspace information is stored in the header of markdown file, like the example below.
---
workspace: /home/ofey/Code/LearningVSCodeExtension/workspace-notes
---

**Example Note Content**

Workspace Notes: Pick a workspace note to open command can quick pick a workspace note from the repository.

  • If only one candidate, open it directly.
  • If there don't have any note related to current workspace, create one.

Workspace Notes: List all notes command can list all notes in repository and pick one. Ordered by modify time.

Workspace Notes: Add workspace tag to current note command is to add workspace tag to current note.

Extension Settings

  • workspaceNotes.noteRepoPath: path to note repository.
  • workspaceNotes.ignorePatternsPOSIX and workspaceNotes.ignorePatternsPOSIX:
    • ignore patterns, match absolute paths.

Known Issues

workspaceNotes.ignorePatternsWindows is untested.
