Extending Denote

Denote is a tool with a narrow scope: create notes and link between them, based on the aforementioned file-naming scheme. For other common operations the user is advised to rely on standard Emacs facilities or specialised third-party packages (Packages that build on Denote). This section covers the details.

• Define a custom file type to automatically encrypt new notes
• Access the data of the latest note
• Create a new note in any directory
• Find empty notes and put them in a Dired buffer
• Automatically rename the note after saving it
• Narrow the list of files in Dired
• Use dired-virtual-mode for arbitrary file listings
• Use Embark to collect minibuffer candidates
• Search file contents
• Bookmark the directory with the notes
• Treat your notes as a project
• Use the tree-based file prompt for select commands
• Rename files with Denote in the Image Dired thumbnails buffer
• Rename files with Denote using dired-preview
• Avoid duplicate identifiers when exporting Denote notes
