For a “schema” concept, I have tried a different approach as a proof of concept. I took it to be a list of categories in a hierarchy.
Sometimes it might be useful to get outside the Org paradigm a little – this time, I create a new file create function without using org-capture or org-roam-capture. Resultant files are ID’ed and part of Org-roam (they are nodes).
Searching with stock standard
find-file
Creating a new note with a custom function (source on Gist).
You can create a new category in the hierarchy (Emacs prompts for confirmation). This implementation does not persist the hierarchy in a file, so the history resets when you quit Emacs.
I haven’t used Dendron so the UX might not be as good.
And I have to admit I don’t know how histories actually work in completion functions I used (homework for me, I think).
Thoughts?
