Link auto complete: do not suggest the current link

Use case or problem

  1. Type [[ to start creating a link
  2. Type the first letter of the note you want to link to (you can type more letters too if you wish).
  3. The auto complete list shows your current incomplete link as a suggestion:

Proposed solution

Change the auto completing feature so that it does not include the N suggestion shown above.

Thanks! :slight_smile:

I cannot reproduce the behaviour. N is suggested only after writing [[N]], moving the cursor out and then back in and then writing space:

  1. write [[N]]<cursor>
  2. move cursor back in: [[N<cursor>]]
  3. type a space: [[N <cursor>]]
  4. N is suggested

The behavior that I documented is similar and unwanted—however not as bad as the original post.

Oh, true. After these two years, I tested this now again in Obsidian 1.5.3.

  • Yes, my original problem seems to have been fixed at some point.
  • Yes, there seems to be the problem triggered by a space that you mentioned. Here’s a screenshot of it.

This is on Windows 10.
