Consistency between Title Headers and Note Names

[NotBoolean]

I like to have a H1 heading at the top of each note that is the same as the note name. Unfortunately, if I rename the note at any point I have to remember to change that header as well.

Do you mean {{title}}? Use this in templates it will auto insert the “title”(filename).

Proposed solution: Add option to treat YAML “title” field as one of aliases. i.e. when the option is toggled ON in settings (or in some config file) for given vault, then return title as match in auto-completion during linking …
