# Littera Nexa

Link to a note by typing its name. No `[[` needed.

> *Littera nexa* — Latin for "the linked letter".

![Typing Jane, with suggestions for the alias Jane and the note Jane Smith](assets/suggestions.png)

A convenience function that removes the need to type `[[` before creating a wikilink. Common use
cases:

- Linking to the same notes frequently, e.g. notes from a People folder
- Auto-suggesting a link when you forgot to link
- Helping fast typers who mistype `[{Jane` and don't get any suggestions from Obsidian

The suggestion list mimics Obsidian's behaviour as much as it can, with configurable elements under
**Settings → Littera Nexa**.

## Working with other plugins

Obsidian shows one suggestion menu at a time. Littera Nexa never replaces a menu you opened by
typing a trigger, such as a date menu.

Tasks is different: on a task line its menu is open almost everywhere. By default Littera Nexa
replaces it while a note matches what you type, and Tasks' menu comes back when nothing matches.
Turn off **Replace line-wide menus** to stop that.

If you would rather not see the Tasks menu everywhere in the first place, raise **Minimum match
length for auto-suggest** in the Tasks settings to 1 or more. Tasks then opens its menu only once
you start typing one of its keywords.

## Troubleshooting

If the list doesn't open, check these:
 - The word starts with a lowercase letter, and **Starts with a capital** is on
 - You have typed fewer characters than **Minimum characters**
 - The note is outside the folders you selected, or inside one you excluded
 - The cursor is in a section that is switched off, e.g. a code block
 - The cursor is in the middle of a word
 - The note is the one you are editing, which is never offered
