curly and straight quotes not interchangeable in links, unlinked mentions #8

Closed oldjove closed 3 years ago

oldjove commented 3 years ago

Creating a link in a note using a curly quote will not find the target file if the target's title has a straight quote. Similarly, the new note won't show up in the unlinked mentions of the original note.

E.g. if the note Luhmann's method (with straight quote) exists, trying to link with Luhmann's method (with smart quote) will not find it.

I think that for the purpose of searching, straight and curly quotes should be interchangeable.

@oldjove Unfortunately, this isn't something I can control on my end. All this plugin does is swap out characters as you type. Modifying search behavior would need to be a feature request for Obsidian.

@mgmeyers Ah, okay. Thanks for the clarification.
