Replacing by highlighting doesn't work #29

Closed dag7dev closed 3 years ago

dag7dev commented 3 years ago

Obsidian version: v0.11.13

This doesn't work unfortunately for me, I wrote today I highlighted just that word --> it doesn't replace as it shown in the demo

argenos commented 3 years ago

Are there any errors in the console?

dag7dev commented 3 years ago

How do I suppose to open the console?

argenos commented 3 years ago

Usually Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + I

Could you also mention how you triggered the conversion? Did you set the hotkey in the settings?

dag7dev commented 3 years ago

No error in console then.

I didn't setup the hotkey, maybe that's why?

argenos commented 3 years ago

How are you invoking the conversion? Please note from the README:

(note that hotkeys are unset by default starting on v0.4.1)

dag7dev commented 3 years ago

@argenos maybe I misunderstood something: according to the readme and what I understand, it should recognize automatically if I, let's say, write "today", shouldn't it? (it should automatically parse it, if I highlight "today"). Am I wrong? I MUST trigger something or is it automatic?

argenos commented 3 years ago

No, it is not automatic! You have to trigger this through the command palette or with a hotkey. Starting on version 0.5.0 you can also use the auto-suggest feature to trigger the parsing.

dag7dev commented 3 years ago

@argenos Thanks for clarifying this out, now it's clear! one last thing: any clue how to trigger auto-suggest feature for parsing?

argenos commented 3 years ago

The default is @, but you can change this in your settings

dag7dev commented 3 years ago

That's clear now. Thanks for your patience!

I would highly reccomend to write these things in the README file; it will be clearer to people to understand how things work!

argenos commented 3 years ago

The readme does mention it!

To create a date link, select the text you want to change (e.g. today), and use the NLP date command. You can use the shortcut or the command palette (Ctrl + P).

@argenos you're not forced to answer me by email; however, some people are reporting me who my email goes straight to the spam folder for unknown reason. If it's the case, I just wanted to let you know that I have sent you an email and you could find it straight in your best spam folder! :D

argenos commented 3 years ago

Thanks! I did get your email, I just haven't gotten around to writing a reply, sorry about that.
