Auto complete links and tags? Follow links?

pascalpascal
in The Archive

I just started using The Archive after finding out nvALT (yeah, I know..).

Let's say I have a note named NoteOne and another note named NoteTwo.

In NoteTwo, if I start writing [[Note, it would be really nice if auto completion was offered.

Also, when there is a double bracket link inside a nvALT note, I can simply press CMD-ENTER to follow the link. It doesn't seem to be possible to do that with The Archive. Am I missing a shortcut? It would be very useful to have that feature.

Thanks.

    The autocomplete capability (both to the internal links and to tags) would indeed be great.

    Hi Pascal. To clarify - do you want to be able to hit Cmd+Enter when your cursor is inside the link? I guess that would be useful. I use my cursor a lot, so I normally just click on the link but I guess if you are mostly a keyboard person, that key combo would be useful.

    @pascal If you are an Alfred user, you may be interested in a workflow I created which provides an alternate solution.

    1. Hit the shortcode to open Alfred
    2. Type ar + space and then search for a note
    3. Press ⌥ + Enter to paste the wiki link of the note into The Archive

    You can also assign a custom hotkey to combine steps 1 and 2 to speed things up even further.

    @pascal That feature is on our radar! Thankfully, folks from the community have chimed in and offer macros/scripts to make the waiting time easier :)https://forum.zettelkasten.de/discussion/213/the-archive-keyboard-maestro-alfred-macros

    Any news on the autocomplete function yet?

    No news: it's planned (and missing dearly :)) but the next milestone is plug-ins.

    Ok, even so I’m sticking with my choice of The Archive. No more research - my head hurts😆 I’m leaving FOMO behind!
    Also because it seems like you guys have a good relationship with the Tinderbox crowd?
    I guess since The Archive is plain text there’s no problem moving between the two?
