Block level filtering/querying aka another option for searching for things in Drafts

19

Small update… All this block level thinking has made inline tags more useful for me. Not as an alternative to the existing tag system built into Drafts, I hasten to add, but as a complement. This update picks up any hash-tags in the line your cursor is currently on.

Wouldn’t take much to also pick up on “@” tags if anyone would find that useful. For anyone savvy enough to DIY, you’ll be looking for a regex in the third action step. :wink:

I’ve paired this with a slight adjustment to my syntax definition file that highlights inline hashtags…

{
      "match": "\\B#(\\d*[A-Za-z_]+\\w*)\\b(?!;)",
      "scope": "color.accent03",
      "exclusive": false,
      "comment": "Hash tags in text",
      "captures": {
        "0": {
          "scope": "color.accent06"
        },
		"1": {
          "scope": "color.accent06"
	   }
      }
    },

(…could probably be refined further, but I’m still getting my head around these syntax definition adjustments, and this works for me for now…)
