Steps to reproduce

Start typing an internal link to a note which does not exist yet:
[[this is a new note]]

Then add a | to display an alternative text, obsidian autocompletes to an existing note in some cases:
[[this note already exists|]]

Expected result

[[this is a new note|]]

Actual result

[[this note already exists|]]

Environment

  • Operating system: Windows 10
  • Obsidian version: 0.8.9

thanks

#4

we may have to disable autocoplete with | and maybe even # to fix this. Only autocomplete when user hit enter or tab

#5

Will be “fixed” in 0.8.12. Now we only autocomplete with tab or enter

Motivations:

  • Users complained
  • It’s harder to handle the standard markdown case.

To handle this case, we ask you to explicitly press esc to close the autosuggestion window.
