rougier / nano-sidebar Goto Github PK

I'm loving the look of the nano-sidebar, but I'm looking to create a "fixed" (as in the links to the buffers exist or can be opened whether you've got the buffer alredy open or not), but am having trouble figuring out how to force "links" to do things like open the buffer Org Agenda if it is not already open etc (which is GTD) in my normal nav..

This is the effect I am going for (yes, stolen from my Notion and recreated in logseq). I figured I can just move back to emacs if I can just crack this somewhat.

Is there some documentation on how I might accomplish this as trying to do this with "links" is not working as well as I would like though I may be missing the point of nano-sidebar entirely or trying to bend it in ways it was not intended.

Notion

Logseq

A "link" like GTD just points at agenda, while Log would point at the latest day logfile I have (in the form yyyy-mm-dd.org) though being able to "collect" up those types of files as a listing woudl also be amazing.

Anyhow, would love to know if nano-sidebar is the right tool to try to do this with... (or any idea you might have...).

I'm just looking at this package after having seen some of your other work. Your readme says sidebars are "per-frame", but do you know whether they can e per-tab as well? Sorry for just asking a question, I wasn't sure how to look for this in the code.

when i use the nano-sidebar-toggle, it takes a whole buffer instead of just the "side"
is there a way so i can configure it on a specific width?

might be related to #5 , as I use tabs extensively, but it also seems to apply with tab-bar-mode turned off.

here's my use-package:

(use-package nano-sidebar
  :ensure nil
  :defer t
  :quelpa (nano-sidebar
           :fetcher github
           :repo "rougier/nano-sidebar")
  :commands (nano-sidebar-toggle))

running nano-sidebar-toggle and stepping through, it appears that the sidebar frame already exists, but I am unable to find it or switch to it using frame-next. For instance, i nmy current session (frame-list) gives:

(#<frame emacs@anarres 0x556cc03b42e8> #<frame NΛNO sidebar 0x556ccf3a9bd8> 
#<frame *elfeed-search* 0x556cc179fe50> #<frame /home/matt/WDW235/Announcements.org 0x556cc014f870> 
#<frame emacs@anarres 0x556cbb030140> #<frame  *Minibuf-1* 0x556cb9ef9c00>)

Since I don't understand the underlying tab implementation, I worry that there's some interference between those levels. I don't understand the frame internals well enough to test effectively, either.

Thanks!

I recently rewatched your talk in EmacsConf 2021, and I was wondering how did you get the sidebar for the org-agenda in this slide

The result is so clean and informative that I would like to replicate for my own agenda. However, I don't understand yet how to make this work.

Maybe if you could provide a full example in the README, the user could make any necessary modifications.

Thanks for your time.
