Suggester System

When a QuickAdd prompt asks you for text, you don’t have to type a file name or tag from memory. Start typing a trigger like [[ and QuickAdd shows a searchable list of matches, exactly like Obsidian’s own link and tag autocomplete. Pick one, and QuickAdd drops it in where you were typing.

What you can search for

Type one of these triggers anywhere in a prompt:

Type this	To search
#	Every tag in your vault
[[	Every file in your vault
[[#	Every heading in your vault
[[#^	A specific block

Where the triggers work

The # and [[ triggers work in QuickAdd’s single-line and multi-line input prompts, and in text and textarea fields on the one-page input form. Field and pick-list widgets keep their own inline suggestions. The math prompt ({{MVALUE}}) suggests LaTeX commands instead.

Search your tags: #

Type # to search every tag in your vault, then pick one.

Search your files: [[

Type [[ to search every file in your vault. A file shows its name, or the alias you matched, with its path beside it. Links to notes that don’t exist yet are listed too, marked Unresolved link.

Search a nearby folder: ./ and ../

Narrow a file search to a folder near the current note:

• ./ searches the folder the current note is in.
• ../ searches the parent folder.

Jump to a heading: [[#

Type [[# to search every heading in your vault and link straight to it.

Link a specific block: [[#^

Type [[#^ to find and link an individual block.

Keyboard shortcuts

You can drive the suggester entirely from the keyboard:

Key	Action
↑ / ↓	Move up and down through the suggestions
Enter	Pick the highlighted suggestion
Escape	Close the suggester without picking

The list wraps around: pressing ↓ on the last item jumps back to the first.
