I glued fzf and vimwiki together to do something very similar. If you have both of those tools installed, you can use a mapping like this:

nmap wp :Files ~/git/vimwiki/

so that you're just a couple of keystrokes away from fuzzy finding any entry in your vimwiki.

This is cool! It's generic enough that it works not only with nvalt on Mac, but also with Notable on Linux (https://github.com/notable/notable)

Notable also uses markdown files for storing notes, so I just had to point the plugin search path to notable's notes directory, and it worked like a charm!

Please keep this usecase in mind when you make changes to your plugin going forward. Thank you!

Deft was (around 3 or 4 years) my weapon of choice as well when I was using nvAlt. So, it was nvAlt (for times when I was in a random place on my Mac), Deft (for searching or adding from within emacs and 1Writer [1] from iOS, all were fed from a Dropbox folder. Now (since January) though I have moved to use Bear [2] (non-free) on all my devices. Its use case is a bit different, but I like it better overall. Side ques…

skim [1] is a rust alternative that has an interactive mode [2] which makes it easy to drill down to more specific results. [1] https://github.com/lotabout/skim [2] https://github.com/lotabout/skim#interactive-mode

Thanks, I was actually wondering why I had heard of no fuzzy searcher in Rust, seemed like a natural fit
