Markdown links requires extra actions to be transformed

👋

When I type a link using [text](link) format, I have to delete the auto inserted parenthesis to trigger the link transformation. It feels unnatural and unintuive for a user.

See recording for example:

It would be good to have this trigger automatically when the cursor move out of the parenthesis zone… or just no auto-closing parenthesis so we can explicitly close it and trigger the behavior.

Yep, need to improve the link parsing from markdown. The UX around links right now is that you can select any text, and paste the link, and it'll do the markdown parsing in the storage.

Like this -

Keeping this open, since the app should also do it with the [text](link)] format

Thank you for the tips! I'll do that. I'm so used to low level tools (IDEA, GitHub or GitLab UI…), it's almost natural for me to type this using the markdown format directly.

PS: Thank you for the tool too ♥️
