Link autocomplete

To link one note to another, type [[ and a suggestion list appears. Keep typing to narrow it down, then pick the note you want. You never have to remember a note's exact name, and you won't accidentally create a link that points nowhere.

How it works

Type [[ anywhere in a note and the suggestion list opens. As you keep typing, it filters live to the notes that match. Choose one and Minerva drops its name into your link.

Open
Type [[ to open the list. It stays open and keeps filtering as you type, and closes when you finish the link with ]] or move away.
Filter
Whatever you type after [[ narrows the list. Matching is forgiving — the letters just have to appear in order, so mtg still finds Meeting Notes.
Move and pick
Use the arrow keys or click to move through the list. Tab or Enter accepts the highlighted note; Esc closes the list and leaves your text as-is.
No match
If nothing matches, the list is empty. Minerva won't invent a note for you.

The list includes every note by name, plus any alternate names you've given a note in its properties — so a nickname is just as easy to link to as the real title. You can also link by relationship: start with a relationship word (for example supports::) to choose one of the built-in link types, or begin with cite:: to point the list at your sources instead of your notes.

Partway through typing a link, a list appears just below the cursor showing the notes that match — such as "Meeting Notes" and "Meeting Prep" — with one highlighted, ready to pick.
