Foam Settings

• [pull] agora settings
• The following are my [foam] ([vscode]) settings as of [2021-02-26]. In a nutshell:
  • Some changes to settings.json in your digital garden's .vscode directory so that journal entries (what you get when you press alt-d; a daily diary) end up in the directory journal/; but that's your choice. I usually default to my diary as a home base and create notes by linking them there, and ctrl-clicking to create (or visit if they already exist).
  • Some changes to keybindings.json in your global (user scope) .config/Code/User/ directory so that you can use shortcuts such as ctrl-alt-s (save all changes locally) and ```ctrl-shift-a) (push changes to the [agora]).
  • Optional additional git config to make submitting to your git hosted digital garden (and transitively to the [agora]) easier/less work.
    • In particular, a commit template so that you don't need to write a change description every time you want to push to the [agora].
• [push] settings.json: a file

"foam.openDailyNote.directory": "journal",
"vscodeMarkdownNotes.newNoteDirectory": "WORKSPACE_ROOT",

• [push] [commit-template]: a file

Default commit message, part of an automated flow.

• [push] keybindings.json (global): a file

[
     {
         "key": "ctrl+shift+b",
         "command": "vscodeMarkdownNotesBacklinks.focus"
     },
     {
         "key": "ctrl+alt+[",
         "command": "workbench.action.navigateBack"
     },
     {
         "key": "ctrl+alt+]",
         "command": "workbench.action.navigateForward"
     },
     {
         "key": "ctrl+shift+a",
         "command": "git.commitAll"
     },
     {
         "key": "ctrl+alt+v",
         "command": "toggleVim"
     },
     {
         "key": "ctrl+shift+s",
         "command": "workbench.action.files.saveFiles"
     }
]

• This results in being able to press ctrl-shift-s to save all files; and ctrl-shift-a to push changes to the [agora] without the need to write a commit message.
