Any suggestions on what plugins could be created?

Reset a to-do list

In a notebook with many to-dos it would be useful to have a way to tick and untick all the to-dos. (Possibly, with an option to be used when the "tick/untick all the to-does" action is done by mistake)

Examples in which this is useful can be a list of items that I buy every time I go to the supermarket, or exercises I want do without repetition. I'd like to put a check mark next to the to-do once I buy the item in the supermarket or I complete an exercise. Then, when all the to-does are done, I'd like to quickly reset all the check mark, so next time I can start up again.
In general I'd find it useful when I have to go over the same list of to-dos many times, each time starting from zero.

Hello, I like to suggest a plugin to send existing note or multiple notes to a configured folder, similar to the "send to" feature of windows desktop.

This is sort of quick send to x folder or to x application.

Example would be sending to a third party app like obsidian to further process the notes.

The user would setup the file/app locatiion first in the plugin option page
Send to Obsidian
Folder path: c:\user\obsidian-vault\joplin-share

Send to Logseq
Folder path: c:\user\logseq-folder\joplin-share

In the app front, when the user right click the mouse, it would show the "Send to" menu and you just choose which app to send the notes.

I'm not sure if you could send the text on the notes directly to third party applications though.

TIA

I'd like to be able to change the font size for just the selected text.

Is there a way to add plugins to the right-click context menu?

Imperial_Squid · 2023-09-11T22:17:36.233Z

I believe plugins add their own buttons to menus so that's something you could petition a plugin author about

Here's one. Ability to enter emojis on keyboard with a quick shortcut, like "!!" or something...

On windows Windowskey + . and you got

And on macOS pressing Fn once should bring up the emoji selector

How about a spell-checker for the markdown editor?

Hi,

Discovered this thread too late, so... I created an Idea/request post for Tavily/GPT-Researcher integration.

Cheers

For "bookmark notes" create a plugin that automatically:

fetches/generates a description,
suggests tags
suggests other links of interest (relevant Wikipedia pages, etc)
and, for icing, get a capture

These actions could be available as a command and/or selectable as default options
Could be hooked with Jarvis

Folding in markdown/CodeMirror editor. There is a buggy and seemingly abandoned plugin for this: Persistent text folding in editor

@ambrt hasn't been on this forum since Nov 2021, so probably safe to assume this plugin has been abandoned. Maybe someone can pick this up, or maybe take a different approach, since this plugin's approach to text folding seems to create numerous issues related to the left gutter.

what do you mean by "bookmark notes"? notes created using the web clipper?

if this is the case, then like any other note they can be annotated with Jarvis, which provides your first two requests. it will also suggest other notes of interest (including other clipped notes), but not external links to webpages.

what is "a capture" in this context?

silopolis · 2023-11-17T12:48:16.341Z

Yes indeed, I was referring to the notes created with the "Clip URL" feature of the Web Clipper.

Oh oh, Jarvis to the rescue ! That may deliver more than hoped for

"Capture" for "screenshot" of the page, but this is so superfluous that it may be a waste of coding resource for the community...

Thanks for the Jarvis tip

LanguageTool plugin
WebDAV calendar/to-do sidebar. I'm not a fan of the current to-do or calendar plugins, and I run a Baikal server, so it'd be nice to not switch between BetterBird (ThunderBird clone) for viewing to-dos and calendar entries.
Zotero Plugin
Native PDF markup or annotator, like what's found in the LibreWolf web browser. Logseq also has an interesting PDF usage. Whatever you highlight is copied below the PDF file in your note. Logseq's organization is horrid, though, so it's not worth using.

Check out the Zotero Link plugin.

A plugin like the Obsidian plugin called "Media Sync" which scans the vault and download all externally linked images.

Why do we need it? As we know, the native web clipper doesn't work on mobile. But there are ways to clip a markdown file but with only externally linked images. With this plugin, we can periodically run it on the desktop to download all externally linked images.

How do you clip a markdown file to the mobile app? Maybe we can improve this workflow and automatically download the images at that point.

Hi Laurent,

Thanks for looking into this. I use an iOS Safari Extension "ToMarkdown" which converts the current page into a markdown version, and then I copy the text into Joplin. Obviously, any linked images will remain as linked images.

iOS Safari Extension to convert web pages to Markdown text - GitHub - macsplit/tomarkdown: iOS Safari Extension to convert web pages to Markdown text

I have an alternative idea: the "share" function on iOS makes a note with only the weblink in Joplin. I don't know whether it is possible, on desktop, to have a button/plugin to scan the vault (or a particular folder) and call up the web browser and the Joplin web clipper to download the contents of these notes. (Currently I do this manually, and this button can automate this process.) Thanks!

Hello @laurent,

Stepping in as, being AFK for a week, I gave this another shot... And got pretty nice result!

Using the Markdownr app on android does a nice job converting web pages to MD with nice front matter and summary options, and automatically pops up the share panel again to successfully import into Joplin mobile. Main "issue" is that no choice is given for the target folder. If that choice could be given and assets downloaded at import time, that would give us a pretty good capture solution.

If there was a more complete solution to build upon this, the Zettel Notes sharing options are surely a good inspiration as the convertion to md seems to work very well, it offers the choice of target dir (or note), and has additional sharing targets like adding to note, capturing link only... Making the closest thing to our beloved web clipper experience.

Hope it helps
J
