This adds the whole new section in `org-roam-mode.el` for node dedicated buffers, with a new global command `org-roam-buffer-display-dedicated`, which supersedes `org-roam-buffer` command. Along the way this also refactors the code for the persistent buffers to clean it up, make it more clear in what it does, improve its robustness, and to make it play nice with the dedicated buffers.
Org-roam

Org-roam is a plain-text knowledge management system. It brings some of Roam's more powerful features into the Org-mode ecosystem.
Org-roam borrows principles from the Zettelkasten method, providing a solution for non-hierarchical note-taking. It should also work as a plug-and-play solution for anyone already using Org-mode for their personal wiki.
- Private and Secure: Edit your personal wiki completely offline, entirely in your control. Encrypt your notes with GPG. Take lasting notes in plain-text.
- Networked Thought: Connect notes and thoughts together with ease using backlinks. Discover surprising and previously unseen connections in your notes with the built-in graph visualization.
- Extensible and Powerful: Leverage Emacs' fantastic text-editing interface, and the mature Emacs and Org-mode ecosystem of packages.
- Free and Open Source: Org-roam is licensed under the GNU General Public License version 3 or later.
Installation
You can install org-roam
using package.el
:
M-x package-install RET org-roam RET
Here's a sample configuration with use-package
:
(use-package org-roam
:ensure t
:custom
(org-roam-directory (file-truename "/path/to/org-files/"))
:bind (("C-c n l" . org-roam-buffer-toggle)
("C-c n f" . org-roam-node-find)
("C-c n g" . org-roam-graph)
("C-c n i" . org-roam-node-insert)
("C-c n c" . org-roam-capture)
;; Dailies
("C-c n j" . org-roam-dailies-capture-today))
:config
(org-roam-setup)
;; If using org-roam-protocol
(require 'org-roam-protocol))
The file-truename
function is only necessary when you use symbolic links
inside org-roam-directory
: Org-roam does not resolve symbolic links.
Org-roam requires sqlite to function. Org-roam optionally uses Graphviz for graph-related functionality. It is recommended to install PCRE-enabled ripgrep for better performance and extended functionality.
