It proposed the following:

git diff --word-diff=plain -- "*.md" | rg -o '\{\+(.*?)\+\}' | str replace -r '\{\+|\+\}' '' | str join " " | str words | length

However, I ended up using this simplified version:

git diff --word-diff=plain -- "*.md" | rg -o '\{\+(.*?)\+\}' | str replace -a "{+" "" | str replace -a "+}" "" | str replace -a ' ' "\n" | lines | length

I’ve noticed that LLMs often lean toward overly complex solutions. I’m not sure if this is due to being trained to generate as many tokens as possible, but using regular expressions where a simple string replacement would suffice is often a sign of unnecessary complexity.

I also looked at rustmark, but configuring it simply to list Markdown files felt like too much effort.

Ultimately, I decided to use dufs and view the files as plain text. It supports basic file operations and WebDAV, which is more than sufficient for my needs.

RandomColorScheme returns the name of a random colorscheme after searching through all available paths. SetRandomColorScheme sets the colorscheme to that choice. The keybinding is mapped to <leader>uR.

function RandomColorScheme()
  local color_schemes = vim.fn.globpath(vim.o.rtp, "colors/*.vim", false, true)
  for i, fullpath in ipairs(color_schemes) do
    color_schemes[i] = fullpath:match(".*/(.*).vim$")
  end

  -- Generate a random index
  local index = math.random(#color_schemes)

  local random_color_scheme = color_schemes[index]

  vim.notify("Random Color Scheme: " .. random_color_scheme)
  -- Select a random color scheme
  return random_color_scheme
end

function SetRandomColorScheme()
  vim.cmd("colorscheme " .. RandomColorScheme())
end

vim.api.nvim_set_keymap("n", "<leader>uR", ":lua SetRandomColorScheme()<CR>", { noremap = true, silent = true })

function CreateTimestampedFile()
  local zkdir = os.getenv("HOME") .. "/github.com/iesahin/garden/zk/"
  local timestamp = os.date("%Y%m%d%H%M%S")
  local filename = zkdir .. "/" .. timestamp .. ".md"
  vim.cmd("edit " .. filename)
end

vim.api.nvim_set_keymap("n", "<leader>F", ":lua CreateTimestampedFile()<CR>", { noremap = true, silent = true })

Now, I can just hit <leader>F (which is <Space>F in my setup) and immediately start adding a note to my zettelkasten.

I have a shell script to add daily recurring tasks, such as “Drink Water” or “Pray Maghreb,” to this file. SimpleTasks expects the file to be at $HOME/Dropbox/todo/todo.txt, and I use a template file, such as template.txt, to populate it. However, as anyone who has used TODO files knows, there are always unfinished tasks; for instance, I don’t always drink my daily allotted amount of water.

So, my evening script moves completed tasks (marked as DONE) to their own file, removes recurring tasks from todo.txt, and repopulates them for a new day. (Note: The code below is not usable as-is; you must define the TODO, DONE, and TEMPLATE file paths correctly.)

TODO=.../todo.txt
DONE=.../$(date +%F)-done.txt
TEMPLATE=.../template.txt

#Move Done to $DONE
grep -wE '^x ' $TODO >> $DONE
sed -i '/^x /d' $TODO

#Delete lines with @Evening, @Morning or @Regular tags from todo
sed -i "/\b\(@Morning|@Evening|@Regular\)\b/d" $TODO
cat $TODO_TEMPLATE >> $TODO

I have configured cron to run this every day at 6 PM. (My “evening” starts earlier than my morning.)
