[REQUEST] Copy link containing zettel ID only

galen

Hi all,

Like many Archive users, I prefix all my notes' names with Zettel IDs, and then link only using Zettel IDs so that I am free to rename notes if necessary. However, when I control-click on a note and "Copy Link", the entire note's name is copied into the link. For example, if I have a link named "201804281854 hello there", and I control-click on the note and select "Copy Link", then "[[201804281854 hello there]]" is copied to the clip board. I would much rather have "[[201804281854]]" copied to the clip board, since that is the form that all my archive links take.

I'd also love to have this action as a menu item so I can define a suitable shortcut with Keyboard Maestro.

Is there a way to do this that I am missing?

Thanks!

Keyboard Maestro macros to address this.
1. Insert note link -

"Learning How to Read [[201812171121]]" 

https://forum.zettelkasten.de/discussion/297/convert-the-archives-copied-links-from-yymmddhhmm-title-to-yymmddhhmm-title#latest
2. Create TOC look -

This is a great note ................................................[[201901091407]]
This is a note that's even better ...................................[[201901091408]]

I have attached a solution for Alfred users: tinyupload.com

Select notes from the left-hand list in The Archive and press the hotkey set in Alfred. Copies note titles in the form of 201909200825 Example note title to Example note title [[201909200825]] Will work with multi-note selection too. Remember to set the hotkey in the workflow. Enjoy!
