Use case or problem
When creating an internal wikilink, the dropdown of matching files appears. If you type #
with a file highlighted, that file title gets autocompleted into the link, which is really handy.
If you type |
to add custom text while a file or block is highlighted, it just keeps the characters you have already typed and types the |
.
Proposed solution
It would be a nice shortcut if typing |
worked like typing #
does and autocompleted the highlighted file or block link.
Example
If I’m trying to link to my daily note 2022-01-21
, typing [[2022-01
and then highlighting the note title and typing #
will fill in [[2022-01-21#
and start the block search,
If I type [[2022-01
and then highlight the note title and type |
, it just leaves [[2022-01|
.

This request to automatically add a |
after hitting Tab while creating a link is somewhat related; although it is about adding a |
automatically instead of adding text automatically when |
is typed.
