Auto-suggestions for inserting outgoing links while typing

A way to have auto-suggestions for turning the last word written into a link to an already existing note with the name of the word written.

So, for example, writing the word “guitar” in a note, and already having a note called guitar then getting an auto-suggestion where the cursor is, so that the moment “guitar” is written the color is changed to the color of a link, making it possible either to press ENTER to make it a link or SPACEBAR to continue typing without making it a link.

Since the Unlinked Outgoing links are already there, this should be relatively easy to implement, since it’s simply an Unlinked Outgoing link auto-suggestion at the cursor, instead of in the list of unlinked outgoing links.

the app need it.

This is a good idea to enhance live preview editing experience, however enter and tab are already associated with new lines and indentation. It is not an enhancement if you need to avoid auto‑suggestions when you want to write new lines. Tab is already used for indentation. Do you want to intend the line or complete the auto−suggestion. I guess both are useful things. Opt + Space could be used for suggestions—however this is already reserved for non‑breaking space on mac. How about Control + space? If additional suggestions are implemented in live preview, an inline display complete with Ctrl + Space should be shown. This could be useful if Add internal link is not bound. Yet you could bind Ctrl + Space to add internal link. Problem nearly solved?
