This is loosely related to the request to make automatic YAML upper- / lower-case aliases for a note, but what I would like is probably rather easy to accomplish as a baseline feature of Obsidian. Really, it’s more of a segue.
Let’s say there’s a document, “House Tasks - Home”, which I use to reference my home in my notes. It has aliases of “House” (first letter upper-case), and “house” (first letter lower-case).
You can see in the image below that when I type “house”, a lower-case word, Obsidian offers the upper-case “House” alias as the first menu item even though the exact thing I’m typing is [[hou
.
Would it be difficult to sort that suggestion list by the case of the letter a person is typing instead of sorting it upper-case first?
If I were typing [[H
to reference a document alias starting with ‘H’, I would expect the first suggestion to be the upper-case alias. If I type [[h
to reference a document with an alias starting ‘h’, I expect the lower-case alias to be the first suggestion.
As-is, I have to type a bit of what I want and either mouse click the lower-case alias or hit the down arrow on my keyboard, then ENTER to select the correct alias.
(Especially as a vim user, I really would prefer to keep my fingers as close to the home keys (asdf
, jkl;
) as possible.)
