The Org-roam Buffer ​

Org-roam provides the Org-roam buffer: an interface to view relationships with other notes (backlinks, reference links, unlinked references etc.). There are two main commands to use here:

  • org-roam-buffer-toggle: Launch an Org-roam buffer that tracks the node currently at point. This means that the content of the buffer changes as the point is moved, if necessary.
  • org-roam-buffer-display-dedicated: Launch an Org-roam buffer for a specific node without visiting its file. Unlike org-roam-buffer-toggle you can have multiple such buffers and their content won’t be automatically replaced with a new node at point.

To bring up a buffer that tracks the current node at point, call M-x org-roam-buffer-toggle.

Function: org-roam-buffer-toggle ​

Toggle display of the org-roam-buffer.

To bring up a buffer that’s dedicated for a specific node, call M-x org-roam-buffer-display-dedicated.

Function: org-roam-buffer-display-dedicated ​

Launch node dedicated Org-roam buffer without visiting the node itself.
