Autocompletion of org-roam links

[maikol-solis]

Hi!

Would it be possible to have some autocompletion to find links in the Vault?

For example, If I have a file called machine-learning.org with this content,

:PROPERTIES:
:ID: 1
:END:
#+TITLE: Machine learning methods

I would like to insert a link to this file from another file by simply typing "Mach", and it will automatically suggest inserting the link: "[[id:1][Machine learning methods]]".

Thanks for the help.

Hi!

Autocompletion is a nice feature indeed.
There is a few missing elements that still need to be implemented before that:

• The title is not parsed currently
• There is no index of org files in the vault and parsing all org files at every keystrokes is a bit much.

Also, even though using the id makes sense, not all files have an id. There is also the question of what to do when there is no title. I would rather conform to Obsidian existing behavior, which would be [[machine-learning]] to follow your example.

All in all, it might be some time before I tackle autocompletion.

Thank you for the reply. Don't worry.
Take your time, the plugin is already great.

Hey @maikol-solis

I added some autocompletion for the links, see release 2.8.0

It's not exactly as you described, the #+TITLE is not taken into account, only the filename. Also there is no link renaming [[link][rename]] you still have to add the rename part yourself. I am trying to match the behavior of markdown files.
