[F] Autocomplete name of note when linking it #2903

Open luisyaxmedrano opened 10 months ago

luisyaxmedrano commented 10 months ago

Expected behaviour

My request is that when linking a note by using <> and typing a letter QOwnNotes would show suggestions of notes that begin with that letter in their title. And so on, so, if I were to write an entire word within the <> QOwnNotes would also suggest notes that begin with that word in their title. So it's a sort of an Autocomplete feature that improves the speed in which notes can be linked.

Actual behaviour

The feature does not exist.

Steps to reproduce

Steps to reproduce would be regular linking steps. Using <> and putting the name of a note in it.

In the script engine, there would be https://www.qownnotes.org/scripting/hooks.html#autocompletionhook to control the autocompletion. https://github.com/pbek/QOwnNotes/blob/main/docs/scripting/examples/autocompletion.qml is a good example on what you can do with it.

luisyaxmedrano commented 10 months ago

I'm a little bit confused. This doesn't add an autocomplete feature, does it? It's like a function for me to script the feature, right? Because I added the script and it did nothing in QOwnNotes.

pbek commented 10 months ago

No, the script is just an example on how to use the autocompletionhook. One would need to implement a script looking for notes with a name starting with the characters already entered...
