Cannot open wiki style links from .md file

[shriramks]

• Right-click and adding a wiki link to a file in the project folder works

command: make_page_reference
Running MakePageReferenceCommand
Finding matching files for None in /Users/<username>/<path>
Make page reference (402, 402)
Using selected page '<my note here>'

• Note: The shortcut to add however Super+Shift+D does not work; conflicts with Sublime's own "Duplicate Line"

• Tried multiple other keys: super+alt+d, super+alt+shift+d, super+alt+shift+j and so on but none worked. The "Duplicate line" kept going as is

• Cannot open the wiki link once inserted though.

• None of the shortcuts worked and most didn't log to sublime console

• One did, no command for selector: noop: but couldn't figure it out

Can someone help me out here? I just want to insert wiki style links into the .md files in my project

Using "Sublime Text 3" on "MacOS High Sierra 10.13.3"

I had a similar problem. It seems that some shortcuts are disabled in the plugin's settings by default:

MarkdownEditing/Markdown.sublime-settings

Lines 158 to 160 in 9bb79b3

	"mde.keymap_disable.open_page": true,
	// Make page reference
	"mde.keymap_disable.make_page_reference": true

You can turn them on in a syntax specific config files:

   // Open the home page
    "mde.keymap_disable.open_home_page": false,
    // Open the journal
    "mde.keymap_disable.open_journal": false,
    // Open the page referenced
    "mde.keymap_disable.open_page": false,
    // Make page reference

Keep in mind, there are more syntaxes managed by the plugin and therefore multiple config files. You can easily access all of them via menu: Preferences -> Package Settings -> MarkdownEditing -> [XYZ] Settings - User.

@josefadamcik Thanks for that!

I use Markdown GFM. I have turned the listed settings ON (making them "false") in:

• Markdown GFM Settings - User
• Markdown (Standard) Settings - User
• Settings, Syntax specific

I am still having an issue. Shortcuts work in creating a wiki reference or opening the file but not as intended. Creating wiki reference does not show the list of files in the project and opening the reference only opens the the selected word (word over cursor) in a new tab.

Am I missing something here?

@dave-ellis will you help the fellow wiki users?

[dave-ellis]

Yes, these feature settings have to be enabled. (@felixhao28 Maybe we should add a note in the README).

As for the key-bindings in OSX, I think the open page and make_page_reference is super+shift+d.

Of course, you can add a custom key binding by selecting menu:

Preferences > Package Settings > Markdown Editing > Keybindings - User

and then adding some entries for example the following binds super+shift+z:

{"keys": ["super+shift+z"], "command": "open_page", "context":
    [
        { "key": "setting.mde.keymap_disable.open_page", "operator": "not_equal", "operand": true },
        { "key": "selector", "operator": "equal", "operand": "meta.link.wiki.markdown", "match_all": true }
    ]    
},
{"keys": ["super+shift+z"], "command": "make_page_reference", "context":
    [
        { "key": "setting.mde.keymap_disable.make_page_reference", "operator": "not_equal", "operand": true },
        { "key": "selector", "operator": "equal", "operand": "text.html.markdown", "match_all": true },
        { "key": "selector", "operator": "not_equal", "operand": "meta.link.wiki.markdown", "match_all": true },
        { "key": "selector", "operator": "not_equal", "operand": "markup.underline.link.markdown", "match_all": true }            
    ]    
},

Gave both the changed keybinding and enabling feature settings a try and still not able to make/open wiki references

Step-1

• Enabled following features (rest are default)

"mde.keymap_disable.list_back_links": false,
"mde.keymap_disable.open_page": false,
"mde.keymap_disable.make_page_reference": false,

Step-2

• Changed the default key binding to "ctrl+shift+l" (which didn't work). Thought there might be a clash so tried with the same keybind as you had posted: "super+shift+z"

Step-3
Now "super+shift+z" is opening the wiki double braces but does not show a list of matching files in the project. This is what I did

• I have a file called punctuation in the project
• Invoked make reference command but this did not show me a list of the matching punctuation filename in the project
• Console logging for this,

command: make_page_reference
Running MakePageReferenceCommand
Finding matching files for None in /Users/<username>/Dropbox/<foldername>
Make page reference (231, 231)

• Now, I manually typed in the file reference "punctuation" and again made the wiki open reference
• This was interesting, threw up a bunch of errors in console as shown below

[[punctuation' in: /Users/<username>/Dropbox/<foldername>
Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "./python3.3/sre_parse.py", line 359, in _parse_sub
  File "./python3.3/sre_parse.py", line 485, in _parse
sre_constants.error: unexpected end of regular expression

• This is how my typed in wiki reference looks like as well
  

• Note: I have the plugin BracketHighlighter but all markdown related brackets in it are set to "false"

I think, something in the way the brackets are rendered are causing this.

Not able to put my finger on it but hope this helps your troubleshooting!

[dave-ellis]

I installed `BracketHightlighter` and this did not cause any issues for me. So I don't think you issue is caused or related to it. Can you clarify whether or not you had any text selected when you invoked the make_reference command? Or whether you had just typed the page name in and the cursor was at the end of the word? Also what about if you try invoking the make reference command when the cursor is not on a word, does the select page list get displayed then? Note, the current implementation will not show the `select page list` when the make reference command is currently on a word. It just converts it to a page reference (i.e. surrounds it in double square brackets). Additionally if the page name part of an existing page reference is selected, then the select page list is displayed and a different page may be selected. -=Dave

Can you clarify whether or not you had any text selected when you invoked the make_reference command?

- No text was selected when I invoked the `make_reference` command

Or whether you had just typed the page name in and the cursor was at the end of the word?

- I had just typed in the page name but the cursor was not at the end of the word. Tried making a reference by moving cursor to different positions inside the enclosed brackets.

Also what about if you try invoking the make reference command when the cursor is not on a word, does the select page list get displayed then?

- Nope, the page list does not get displayed then as well If possible, can you post a gif/video on how the selection should be done? Think I got your questions right but seeing it will be helpful much.

[dave-ellis]

Okay, it definitely sounds like something is not working as it should, since make page reference should select the word under the cursor and surround it with double braces. And if the word under the cursor is already selected and is a valid page reference (i.e. surrounded by braces) then the select page list should be displayed.

I have uploaded a demo of this process in action.

Unfortunately I don't own a mac and as such I haven't been able to verify behaviour on OSX.

Note also that I am considering changing this behaviour slightly, so that the select page list would be displayed always as part of make page reference as this may be more intuitive.

[rcorty]

I'm having what I believe is the same problem.
