Enabling Commentator Plugin disables smart wikilinks

Open zeigerpuppy opened this issue 2 months ago • 2 comments

Steps to reproduce

  1. Enable the Commentator plugin
  2. Try adding a wikilink to an existing document, e.g. [[Mydoc]]

Usually Obsidian would suggest matching documents from a drop-down list for linking. However, with Commentator plugin enabled, no suggestions are provided.

Current behaviour

The Wikilinks automatic suggestions fail to be show.

If you disable the Commentator plugin, it works again as usual.

Expected Behavior

Wikilink suggestions should be shown even when plugin is enabled.

I'm experiencing the same issue. I've tested this in a sandbox vault without other plugins, and the problem persists. Even building from the latest commit didn't resolve it. This might indicate a deep-seated conflict within the rendering system. My current workaround involves disabling the plugin when not in use and when in use, I use OmniSearch for wikilink insertion. This is just a temporary solution, but it might be useful, as I haven't found a better CriticMarkup-style plugin for Obsidian.

oh hey I tried to do a fix for this in my fork here, there are some quirks for using it so make sure you read the Readme. If you are OK with that, you can download that version from the release.
