org-roam-ok

An org-roam plug-in minor mode for better PKM in Emacs.

The enhancements include:

• Informative minibuffer lines
  • Title-alias distinction
  • Parent-child connection between org-roam file nodes
• Japanese-aware unlinked references parsing
• Use of hyphen for title slug
• Automatic creation of missing parent directories
• In-memory caching for faster node lookup
• etc.

This is a packaged version of my org-roam customization. As the related init.el section has grown large, I turned it into a package to tidy up the initialization.

Installation

To install via use-package, have the following lines in your init.el:

(use-package org-roam-timestamps
  :after org-roam)

(use-package ok-plural
  :straight (ok-plural :host github :repo "okomestudio/ok-plural.el"))

(use-package org-roam-ok
  :straight (:host github :repo "okomestudio/org-roam-ok")
  :init (org-roam-ok-on-idle-init-setup))

Running the org-roam-ok-on-idle-init-setup function is optional; it simply loads the minor mode and fill the in-memory cache to speed up the very first node query. Otherwise, use the org-roam-ok-mode function explicitly to enable the minor mode, e.g.,

(use-package org-roam
  ...
  :config
  ...
  (org-roam-ok-mode 1))

Usage

To use the enhanced unlinked references section in the org-roam buffer, add org-roam-ok-ja-unlinked-refrences-section to the org-roam-mode-sections variable, e.g.:

(setopt org-roam-mode-sections
        (list #'org-roam-backlinks-section
              #'org-roam-reflinks-section
              #'org-roam-ok-ja-unlinked-references-section))

Customization

• org-roam-ok-on-idle-delay (default: 60): Idle time delay in second before the on-idle initializer runs when org-roam-ok-on-idle-init-setup has been run

Development

TBD.

TODOs

• Document enhancements in more detail
• Make org-roam-timestamps dependency optional
