Basic functionality not working

[MaralWa]

Hi,

I am a long time user of VimWiki and hoped that mkdnflow could be a LUA based replacement for VimWiki. But for me mkdnflow is not working at all. The folldwing lines are from the index file of my main Wiki:

[Abonnements](Abonnements)
[[Abonnements]]

With VimWiki, if I place the cursor somewhere within the links and hit <CR>, the linked note Abonnements.md is opened by nvim. If I deactivate VimWiki and do the same with mkdnflow, the cursor just moves to the next line. Also mkdnflow does not conceal the links. Also mkdnflow does not conceal Wiki-links like VimWiki does.

I am using NeoVim Release v0.8.0. My NeoVim configuration is based on my fork of nvim-basic-ide.

I added this locally to my plugins.lua:

 use({'jakewvincent/mkdnflow.nvim',
     rocks = 'luautf8', -- Ensures optional luautf8 dependency is installed
     config = function()
         require('mkdnflow').setup({})
     end
 })

When I start nvim, I see no errors, but :PackerSync produces these messages:

E5108: Error executing lua Vim:Error executing Lua callback: ...im/site/pack/packer/start/mkdnflow.nvim/lua/mkdnflow.lua:240: loop or previous error loading module 'mkdnflow

        ...ite/pack/packer/start/packer.nvim/lua/packer/display.lua:996: in function 'quit'

Hi. This is probably due to something in the config you've copied, rather than a mkdnflow issue. The following may be related: https://github.com/jakewvincent/mkdnflow.nvim/issues/49. I'd recommend trying mkdnflow with a minimal config first or trying to disable the other plugins enabled in your config one by one and seeing which (if any) might be interfering.

This plug-in is not a one-for-one, drop-in replacement for Vimwiki. Please do a Ctrl+f in the readme for 'conceal' to see how to enable link concealing. Mkdnflow only offers concealing of wiki-style links and markdown-style links. If you want any other markdown elements concealed and have treesitter enabled, as well as the two markdown parsers, you can actually just enable concealing for markdown files (:h conceallevel) and you will get links and a number of other elements concealed out of the box.

Hi, thank you for your reply. Indeed impatient seems to cause the problem in my config, too. I just removed it from my configuration and can now follow links with <cr>. And I could also activate concealing for links. I think I misunderstood the website and thought that links were concealed by default. Ciao Maral
