Add ability to remove/delete notes

Open dolangish opened this issue 6 years ago • 5 comments

I would really like to be able to remove old notes from VSCode instead of having to navigate the OS file system.

How do you envision this feature working?

Context menu in the tree view? Or a command in the command palette?

Either would be fine. I was thinking of a right click on note in the tree view -> "remove note" menu option, but if you think a command palette command would be better, then by all means, do it that way. I just need a way to clean up my notes from VSCode because once I finish an implementation I summarize my notes into our bug tracker tool and no longer need the note. Currently I'm stuck with storing a bunch of notes I will never actually need. Not a huge deal because storage is cheap and I'm pretty good at tagging my notes so they are easily searchable, but the ability to clean that all up from within VSCode would be nice.

@patleeman First thanks for an awesome note taking tool. I am new to it but already hooked. I second @MaddawgX9 that being able to delete notes would be a great addition. My preferred solution would be a contextual right-click menu on the note. That would open future options like renaming, moving the note to a folder or deleting moving folders and notes. Not sure how to do that elegantly in the command pallet.

@patleeman Thanks, VSNotes is great. I'm curious for the time being until this is addressed: what is your workflow for deleting notes? (I'm guessing it's more efficient than mine, which is to navigate to the notes directory e.g. via a terminal and delete the file that way.) Cheers.

Thanks @rdipietro for bumping this issue. It reminded me that after a year, I still really want a delete via the UI feature. I've submitted a pull request here
