[Howm-eng 155] Search by page title with autocompletion

[yacinechaouche]

Dear Howmers, or homies,
If I know I want to open a certain note which title is "Plan", is there any howm command that would allow me to open that page by simply typing C-c , <key> then be prompted for the title of the page and it would auto-complete for me ? like I type only Pl<tab> and it would show completions for Plan, Plumbers and Plagiarisme, given that such pages exist.

Hi.

Howm has auto-completion only for *keywords*.  So you need to write
the title as "= <<< Plan" instead of "= Plan" for auto-completion.
You can set it default as follows, but I'm afraid of efficiency.

;; Set initial contents of new notes
(setq howm-template ("= <<< %title%cursor\n%date %file\n\n"))

Or, ...

;; Though this is not completion, you can find notes by their titles.
(defun my-howm-search-title (title)
  (interactive "sSearch title: ")
  (howm-search (format "^=\\s+%s" (regexp-quote title)) nil))

Most titles in my notes are empty because considering suitable titles
is bothersome for quick note taking.  I regard howm as a tool not for
well-organized documentation but for scribble / clutter-writing.

Hello !
I put both code in my .emacs but got no matches :( 

Is the first code supposed to be used with Keyword completion C-c , i ?

Ah. Regexp was wrong. Sorry...

;; Though this is not completion, you can find notes by their titles.
;; (fixed [2018-09-02])
(defun my-howm-search-title (title)
  (interactive "sSearch title: ")
  (message title)
  (howm-search (format "^= +%s" (regexp-quote title)) nil))

> Is the first code supposed to be used with Keyword completion C-c , i ?

No. It modifies the result of "C-c , c" (howm-create).
You will get "= <<< " instead of "= " in the first line of
each new note.

 Dear kazuyuki san,
After thinking a bit I think I can achieve the same by searching with "C-c , g" then precede page titles with "^=.*<regexp>". What do you think ?

Hi.

Yes. The below code does it automatically.
