Treeview improvements discussion

[patleeman]

I'm opening up an issue here to start a discussion about the treeview. Since it was added in 0.3.0 it hasn't received much love and in its current state isn't really all that useful.

I want to completely refactor it and build in some new features.

Here are some ideas:

1. Separate tags and notes into two sections.
2. Add a new section with links to commonly used commands.
3. Add a context menu with some commonly used features (click opens note, delete, duplicate)

Some feature requests:

• #6
• #10

Sections and links to commands in VSCode's Live Share extension

Do you have a feature you'd like to see or inspiration from a different extension? Please comment below and post screen shots if applicable.

I think this is a great plan.

For the custom actions area, I would like to see ability for things like saved search/filtering? Some way to define my own custom things. As an example, show a filtered list for date older than 2018 and tagged Active Projects, so that I can start to review old notes etc etc.

I'm personally trying to use VSCode as a sort of personal Wiki, as it has the best MD editor with most flexibility, particularly with extensions like this!

1. sort notes by last modified date desc/asc
2. using $title or $first_h1 in treeview instead of the filename

Actually, I think the evernote is a very good example to follow:
