I select some text and type [[. I understand that the selected text should then turn into a wikilink, but instead it is deleted and I am presented with a popup list of existing wikilinks. (I have selected Use [[Wikilinks]] under Files & Links in the Preferences.) What am I doing wrong?
In case it is relevant, I am running Monterey on a Mac and am a fairly new user of Obsidian.
When I try it in the Sandbox vault or in a new test vault, I am presented with a popup list with the selected text at the top. Is this how it is meant to work? I tried the other troubleshooting steps on my main vault, but they didn’t seem to help. But at least I have a workaround with a hotkey.
For me it makes it a potential link. If it doesn’t exist, then I can ctrl-click to create.
My settings have autopair on and wikilinks preferred. No popup lists involved.
