What features did you like in 2023 and what do you want to see in 2024?

Rando · 2024-04-10T10:07:30.838Z

Wow, DDDot is great! Basically, combining DDDot and "Control+P" for searches, I could keep the stock side panels almost always collapsed. Also, I've set DDDot to collapse with F9, so it's only one shortcut, instead of two, to go to full editing view and back. Only the sync info would be missing from the view.
Only thing is... do you know a CSS code to force the width of the DDDot panel? It does not seem to remember the user settings when toggled back on after a collapse, which is unfortunate.

I've tried the following without success:

.resizableLayoutItem.rli-plugin-view-joplin-plugin-dddot-dddot\.panel {
    max-width: 250px !important;
    width: 250px !important;
}

Try this CSS to force a maximum panel width:

#plugin-view-joplin-plugin-dddot-dddot\.panel {
  max-width: 250px !important;
}

Rando · 2024-04-11T00:43:53.908Z

Nope, sadly I can't get this to work. I've got close with this code:

#plugin-view-joplin-plugin-dddot-dddot\.panel {
  max-width: 250px !important;
  position: absolute !important;
 right: 0px!important;
}

or

.resizableLayoutItem.rli-plugin-view-joplin-plugin-dddot-dddot\.panel .sc-cwHptR.DnUmE {
 max-width: 250px !important;
 position: absolute !important;
 right: 0px!important;
}

But there is now some empty space between the editor and the plugin interface. Meaning that the plugin is stored in some sort of div that I can't quite figure out how to style?

This general bug has an open Github issue: Panel width for plugins do not persist · Issue #5634 · laurent22/joplin · GitHub

For now, here's a workaround that doesn't require custom CSS. Move any plugin you want to preserve the panel width of left of the editor, as described and shown in this Github issue: Outline width is reset after toggling off and on · Issue #33 · cqroot/joplin-outline · GitHub

For you specifically, comment out the above Note Tabs plugin CSS and restart Joplin before moving plugins left of the editor. Not doing so can create unexpected whitespace when moving plugins. You can uncomment it after plugins are moved.

Rando · 2024-04-11T10:07:25.573Z

Alright that did the trick. I'm gutted that I cannot keep the panel to the right of the editor though, as there is already so much going on on the left, and also keeping one more panel on the left means pushing the editor view even more to the far right of the monitor which is probably not ideal for my neck... but hey ho! Perhaps, also, the plugin should initiate by displaying itself already on the left side after the first install just to clear up some confusion?

Anyway, I'm sorted at the moment, thanks so much once again. And this DDDot plugin is really great!

Rando · 2024-04-11T10:13:44.574Z

@muzak is there any workaround/plugin/something-I-missed that allow to delete or move the currently edited note if I have the main side panels collapsed (apart the "quick move" plugin)?

muzak · 2024-04-11T15:12:43.750Z

For desktop, check out the built in Command Palette with Ctrl+Shift+P. It opens Goto Anything but adds a : to the input, which lists all possible commands (including plugin commands) like :deleteNote and :moveToFolder. Opening Goto Anything then typing in : would show the same list.

Optimizations include remapping either shortcut and using text expanders to create command aliases (preferably for Goto Anything, since triggers already start with symbols like :) and more:

Text expansion in Joplin? Lounge

If you can configure them, text expanders like Espanso can work agnostic of editor, platform, and form factor. They can be useful for external editing, autocomplete, and more complex expansions: Markdown links, tables, page templates, etc.

I'm one of the users who double clicks my emails and pops them into a new window, double clicks his task app tasks into a window, and pulls his Firefox browser tab into it's own window to work alongside other things.

Would love to see that natively supported by Joplin!
I do use Typora currently, and playing with Marktext. But would love to see this supported natively.

Thanks for considering!

Rando · 2024-04-11T21:52:21.861Z

Awesome @muzak . Thank you, thank you, thank you! Now that I've got the point of the : into the Command Palette and Goto Anything, I can stay in the editor view in full screen almost all the time, and I'll most likely just toggle DDDot on/off when needed, instead of the stock side panels... DDDot displays the recent notes, the shortcuts, it toggles faster then a blinking eye and it's a single shortcut too, instead of two. That combined with the Command Palette is a real game-changer!
The only bit of information I would be missing from this workflow/view is the sync status, which I wish was on its own dedicated panel or that I could see it above the editor with a position: absolute; CSS value, but there's no way to make it work, as the class disappears as soon as the notebook panel is collapsed... well you cannot have everything, right?

Optimizations include remapping either shortcut and using text expanders to create command aliases (preferably for Goto Anything, since triggers already start with symbols like and more:

I'm a heavy Auto Hot Key user, so creating some shortcuts latched to Goto Anything would surely happen at some point... but I'll think about it a bit more in the future, as I still don't know my new way of doing things, yet. I'll take a deeper look at Espanso anyway, but from a quick look I should be able to achieve all of that with AHK as well.

Thank you so much again!

The mobile app has seen massive upgrades in the last couple of years. The editor now provides a good user experience, especially with mobile plugins enabled. I'd be happy to have a setting to skip the Markdown preview and go directly into edit mode when opening a note.

crtkugrrvjy · 2024-05-09T09:37:05.900Z

I'd also find very useful:

Publish to Joplin Cloud from mobile (very top item on my wish list right now)
Take multiple photos in a row on mobile
Each call to "take photo" opens a user-specified camera app. e.g. I would have it set to always open Android stock camera
Default notebook for new notes (and for Joplin Cloud inbox)

Benjamin-Watson0 · 2024-07-24T03:44:29.625Z

I really like it. How do you arrange your notes list vertically?
The foldable design has always been what I wanted, and Joplin's current design takes up too much space.

ipra · 2024-07-24T07:30:03.229Z

Getting rid of the occasional freezes on mobile Android I've been happiest about.

My wishes, all on mobile:

audio notes
taking multiple fotos in a row
further improvements with webdav sync

crispeto · 2024-07-26T20:14:26.306Z

Collaspable notes

zblesk · 2024-07-30T11:00:14.328Z

ipra:

audio notes

taking multiple fotos in a row

I really miss these as well.

For some reason when I select the 'take photo' option, the quality is very bad, so I got used to taking pics with the camera app and attaching them.
But I still don't have a convenient workaround for audio notes.

indeed, I currently get many pics of projected slides, which require zooming. Because of this I have to quickly switch to the Camera app, zoom snap, save, switch back to Joplin, and insert the created pic. Any way to even just zoom while getting the pic would be good in my case...

canvas like in obsidian or whiteboard like in logsec
collapsible headings, checklists, bulletlist without any html

fujiboku · 2024-09-09T02:17:53.859Z

Outline side bar and collapsible sections

mrbill · 2024-09-09T03:56:29.011Z

I am new to joplin. I migrated from inkpad notepad. I enjoy the synchronization options and the search and replace plugin. I also like the checklist feature.

I use checklist for many things and would like it even more if i could send checked items to the bottom of the list.

Wimvan · 2024-09-09T06:45:21.293Z

fujiboku:

Outline side bar and collapsible sections

There is a plugin for the Outline side bar functionality as far as I remember and a collapsible feature is alredy available:

Collapsible notes Features

Here's how you can enable collapsible lists and other lines in Joplin: Enable the beta editor: Tools > Options > General > Opt-in to the editor beta Install the Extra Markdown Editor Settings plugin and restart Joplin Enable code folding: Tools > Options > Extra editor settings sidebar item > Check Enable code folding > Change other settings while you're here Click ⌄ left of a line to collapse or fold it. Click › left of a line (or the … button on the right) to expand or unfold it.

HTH!
