Obsidian URL? #30

I’m a writer who’s fond of Vim, not a coder or techy.

I’ve been frustrated by the fact that Obsidian’s “markdown links,” with the Obsidian URL, with “%20” in the place of spaces, don’t function as such in Vim. At least not in Vim with wiki.vim.

How do you deal with them in Vimsidian?

Hi!

Vimsidian doesn’t support Obsidian URL-style directly. It recognizes text enclosed in [[ and ]] as link names and searches for files based on those names.

If your filenames contain spaces and the links in Obsidian replace these spaces with %20, the navigation and search functions likely won’t work. For links to function correctly, the filename and the link name need to match exactly.

However, Vim can handle this quite flexibly. For example, if a navigation command is available, you could define a custom command and key mapping that wraps the navigation command, passing in the link with %20 replaced by spaces. This approach should make the navigation work as expected.

I can write a bit of Vim script, so if you need help with this, feel free to ask for more details!
