All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
- Path in .zk/config.toml for the default note template now accepts UNIX "~/paths" (by @WhyNotHugo)
- LSP ignores magnet links as links to notes (by @billymosis)
- Compilation robustness for Alpine package builds (by @nmeum)
- Fixed parsing large notes @khimaros in #339
- fix day range parsing (#382) by @tjex in #384
- accept tripple dash file URIs as valid links by @tjex in #391
- fix(lsp): fix trigger completion of zk LSP by @Rahlir in #397
- fix(lsp): ignore diagnostic check within code blocks by @Rahlir in #399
- allow notebook as hidden dir by @tjex in #402
- New
tool.shell
configuration key to set a custom shell (contributed by @lsvmello). - New
notebook.dir
configuration key to set the default notebook (contributed by @lsvmello).
- The
note.ignore
configuration property was renamed tonote.exclude
, to be more consistent with the CLI flags.
- Fixed LSP positions using UTF-16 offsets (contributed by @wrvsrx).
- LSP:
zk.new
now returns the created note's content in its output (content
), and has two new options:dryRun
will preventzk.new
from creating the note on the file system.insertContentAtLocation
can be used to insert the created note's content into an arbitrary location.
- A new
zk.link
command to insert a link to a given note (contributed by @psanker).
- LSP: Support for external URLs with
documentLink
. - New
{{date}}
template helper to obtain a date object from natural language (contributed by @zalegrala).Get a relative date using natural language: {{date "next week"}} Format a date returned by `get-date`: {{format-date (date "monday") "timestamp"}}
zk list
now support multiple--match
/-m
flags, which allows to search for several tokens appearing in any order in the notes (contributed by @rktjmp).
- Breaking change: The
{{date}}
template helper was renamed to{{format-date}}
. You might need to update your configuration and templates.
- #243 LSP: Fixed finding backlink references for notes in a folder.
- #254 Fixed SQL error when pairing
--link-to
and--linked-by
.
zk new
now requires the--interactive
/-i
flag to read the note body from a pipe or standard input. See rational.
- Use regular expressions when searching for notes with
--match
.# Find notes containing emails. $ zk list --match-strategy re --match ".+@.+" $ zk list -Mr -m ".+@.+"
- The flags
--exact-match
/-e
are deprecated in favor of--match-strategy exact
/-Me
.
- The LSP server does not support resolving a wiki link to a note title anymore.
- For example,
[[Planet]]
can match a note with filenamei4w0 Planet.md
but noti4w0.md
with a Markdown titlePlanet
anymore. - This "smart" fallback resolution based on note titles was too fragile and not supported by the
zk
CLI.
- For example,
- #233 Hide index progress in non-interactive shells.
- #235 Fix LSP link recognition with unicode (contributed by @zkbpkp).
- #236 Fix updating links after creating a new note.
- #239 Support standard input via shell redirection with
zk new
.
- Removed the dependency on
libicu
.
- Indexed links are now automatically updated when adding a new note, if it is a better match than the previous link target.
-
New
--date
flag forzk new
to set the current date manually. -
New
--id
flag forzk new
to skip ID generation and use a provided value (contributed by @skbolton). -
#144 LSP auto-completion of YAML frontmatter tags.
-
zk-nvim#26 The LSP server doesn't use
additionalTextEdits
anymore to remove the trigger characters when completing links.- You can customize the default behavior with the
use-additional-text-edits
configuration key.
- You can customize the default behavior with the
-
#163 Use the
ZK_SHELL
environment variable to override the shell forzk
only. -
#173 Support for double star globbing in
note.ignore
config option. -
#137 Customize the
fzf
options used byzk
's interactive modes with thefzf-options
config option (contributed by @Nelyah). -
#168 Customize the
fzf
key binding to create new notes with thefzf-bind-new
config option.
- The default
fzf
key binding to create a new note withzk edit --interactive
was changed toCtrl-E
, to avoid conflict with the defaultCtrl-N
binding.
- #126 Embedded image links shown as not found.
- #152 Incorrect timezone for natural dates.
- #170 Broken wiki links in subdirectories.
- #185 Don't parse a Markdown table header as a colon tag.

andfilename-stem
when formatting notes (e.g. withzk list --format
) and for thefzf-line
config key. - Customize how LSP completion items appear in your editor when auto-completing links with the
[lsp.completion]
configuration section.[lsp.completion] # Show the note title in the completion pop-up, or fallback on its path if empty. note-label = "{{title-or-path}}" # Filter out the completion pop-up using the note title or its path. note-filter-text = "{{title}} {{path}}" # Show the note filename without extension as detail. note-detail = "{{filename-stem}}"
- New
--dry-run
flag forzk new
which prints out the path and content of the generated note instead of saving it to the file system. - New
--verbose
flag forzk index
which prints detailed information about the indexing process. - You can now filter through the YAML frontmatter with
zk list --interactive
.
- #89 Calling
zk index
from outside the notebook (contributed by @adamreese). - #98 Index wiki links using partial paths for
--linked-by
and--link-to
. - #98 Ignore spaces around the pipe in wiki links for LSP diagnostics.
- List the tags found in your notebook with
zk tag list

- New template variables are available when generating custom Markdown links with
link-format
.filename
,path
,abs-path
andrel-path
for many path flavors.metadata
to use information (e.g.id
) from the YAML frontmatter.
- The LSP server is now matching wiki links to any part of a note's path or its title.
- Given the note
book/z5mj Information Graphics.md
with the title "Book Review of Information Graphics", the following wiki links would work from a note located underjournal/2020-09-25.md
:[[../book/z5mj]] [[book/z5mj]] [[z5mj]] [[book review information]] [[Information Graphics]]
- Given the note
- Use the
{{abs-path}}
template variable when formatting notes to print the absolute path to the note (contributed by @pstuifzand). - A new
{{substring s index length}}
template helper extracts a portion of a given string, e.g.:{{substring 'A full quote' 2 4}}
outputsfull
{{substring 'A full quote' -5 5}
outputsquote
- UTF-8 handling in the LSP server.
- #78 Do not exclude notes containing broken links from the index.
- Allow setting the
--working-dir
and--notebook-dir
flags before thezk
subcommand when using aliases, e.g.zk -W ~/notes my-alias
. - #86 Index encoded Markdown links.
- Use JSON formats with
zk list
for easy post-processing:--format json
prints a plain JSON array.--format jsonl

- #16 Links with section anchors, e.g.
[[filename#section]]
. - Unicode support in wiki links. If you use accents or ideograms, please run
zk index --force
after upgrading to fix your index.
- Editor integration through LSP:
- New code actions to create a note using the current selection as title.
- Custom commands to run
new
andindex
from your editor. - Diagnostics to report dead links or wiki link titles.
- Auto-complete only the path of a Markdown link by typing
[custom title]((
.
- Customize the format of
fzf
's lines with your own template.[tool] fzf-line = "{{style 'green' path}}{{#each tags}} #{{this}}{{/each}} {{style 'black' body}}"
- Automatically index the notebook when saving a note with an LSP-enabled editor.
- This ensures that tags and notes auto-completion lists are up-to-date.
- Creating a new note from
fzf
in a directory containing spaces. - Fix completion with Neovim's built-in LSP client (contributed by @cormacrelf).
- Interactive wizard for the

(setup wiki links in the note formats configuration) - Auto-complete hashtags and colon-separated tags.
- Preview the content of a note when hovering a link.
- Navigate in your notes by following internal links.
- And more to come...
- See the documentation for configuration samples.
- Auto-complete Markdown links with
- Pair
--match
with--exact-match
/-e
to search for (case insensitive) exact occurrences in your notes.- This can be useful when looking for terms including special characters, such as
[[name]]
.
- This can be useful when looking for terms including special characters, such as
- Generating links to notes.
- Use the
{{link}}
template variable when formatting notes to print a link to the note, relative to the working directory. - Use the
{{format-link path title}}
template helper to render a custom link. - Customize the link format from the note formats settings. You can for example choose regular Markdown links, wiki links or a custom format.
- Use the
- The local configuration file (
.zk/config.toml
) is not required anymore in a notebook's.zk
directory. --notebook-dir
does not change the working directory anymore, instead it sets manually the current notebook and disable auto-discovery. Use the new--working-dir
/-W
flag to runzk
as if it was started from this path instead of the current working directory.- For convenience,
ZK_NOTEBOOK_DIR
behaves like setting a--working-dir
fallback, instead of--notebook-dir
. This way, paths will be relative to the root of the notebook. - A practical use case is to use
zk list -W .
when outside a notebook. This will list the notes inZK_NOTEBOOK_DIR
but print paths relative to the current directory, making them actionable from your terminal emulator.
- For convenience,
- Global
zk
configuration at~/.config/zk/config.toml
.- Useful to share aliases or default settings across several notebooks.
- This is the same format as a notebook configuration file.
- Shared templates can be stored in
~/.config/zk/templates/
. XDG_CONFIG_HOME
is taken into account.
- Use
--notebook-dir
or setZK_NOTEBOOK_DIR
to runzk
as if it was started from this path instead of the current working directory.- This allows running
zk
without being in a notebook. - By setting
ZK_NOTEBOOK_DIR
in your shell configuration file (e.g.~/.profile
), you are declaring a default global notebook which will be used whenzk
is not in a notebook. - When the notebook directory is set explicitly, any path given as argument will be relative to it instead of the actual working directory.
- This allows running
- Find every note whose title is mentioned in the note you are working on with
--mentioned-by file.md
.- To refer to a note using several names, you can use the YAML frontmatter key
aliases
. For example the note titled "Artificial Intelligence" might have:aliases: [AI, robot]
- To find only unlinked mentions, pair it with
--no-linked-by
, e.g.--mentioned-by file.md --no-linked-by file.md
.
- To refer to a note using several names, you can use the YAML frontmatter key
- Declare named filters in the configuration file to reuse note filtering options used frequently together, for example:
[filter] recents = "--sort created- --created-after 'last two weeks'"
$ zk list recents --limit 10 $ zk edit recents --interactive
- #4 Terminal borked when piping content with Vim
- Looking for mentions of a note with a title containing double quotes.
- Crash when parsing certain link snippets.
- Support for tags.
- Filter notes by their tags using
--tag "history, europe"
.- To match notes associated with either tags, use a pipe
|
orOR
(all caps), e.g.--tag "inbox OR todo"
. - If you want to exclude notes having a particular tag, prefix it with
-
orNOT
(all caps), e.g.--tag "NOT done"
. - Use glob patterns to match multiple tags, e.g.
--tag "book-*"
.
- To match notes associated with either tags, use a pipe
- Many tag flavors are supported:
#hashtags
,:colon:separated:tags:
(opt-in) and even Bear's#multi-word tags#
(opt-in). If you prefer to use a YAML frontmatter, list your tags with the keytags
orkeywords
.
- Filter notes by their tags using
- Find every mention of a note in your notebook with
--mention file.md
.- This will look for occurrences of the note's title in other notes.
- To refer to a note using several names, you can use the YAML frontmatter key
aliases
. For example the note titled "Artificial Intelligence" might have:aliases: [AI, robot]
- To find only unlinked mentions, pair it with
--no-link-to
, e.g.--mention file.md --no-link-to file.md
.
- Print metadata from the YAML frontmatter in
list
output using{{metadata.<key>}}
, e.g.{{metadata.description}}
. Keys are normalized to lower case. - Use the YAML frontmatter key
date
for the note creation date, when provided. - Access environment variables from note templates with the
env.<key>
template variable, e.g.{{env.PATH}}
.
- Renamed
--linking-to
filtering option to--link-to
. - Multiple
--extra
variables are now separated by,
instead of;
.
