Auto complete notes for easy interlinking

[kumarve]

Current behavior

In order to link the notes, the user has to go to the information icon (i), copy the notes link and paste it on another note. This is not user-friendly.

Expected behavior

There should be a short-cut way of linking the apps. For example in Dyna list if the user types [[, it would list the available notes in a drop-down, and by selecting one of the notes from the drop-down, the interlink is established.

Environment

• Version :0.11.17
• OS Version and name : MAC 10.12.6

Alternate tags

Crossnote linking, cross note links, internal references, auto-complete, auto-completion

(These were added as searching for this specific feature request was tricky.)

I need this feature too. It would be difficult to show a drop down in a text environment. It is ok just by typing [[other note title]] or something like that. When other note title exists, it is viewed as a link, else it is viewed as a link but in italic type. When you click it, app will suggest you if you want to creat a new note and in which folder.

I hope the link can be cross folder, that is, I do not have to type folder name in [[...]].

It will prompt the app from a notebook to a quick wiki!

[[...]] is reserved notation in Boostnote Markdown notes. Try it ;-)

Yes, I see. So use other delimiter instead.

The normal link notation could be used. We could trigger a dropdown/auto-completion on a certain hotkey when your caret is behind a [. Ctrl+Space is often used by IDEs. Selecting a note from this list would create a link to that note.

Hi! I'm new to this markdown editor and trying it for the first time.

I'm trying to make links to other notes using autocomplete (like other editors), but this does not work...
