features of 1.5.0

Nice work! Allow me a few suggestions (most important first):

• unlike the standard behavior of Joplin, the link created in the original note cannot be clicked on (with cmd-left-click) to switch to the new note (the same DOES work for the link in the new note). Bug or oversight ?
• in the wysiwyc editor the link created inside the original note is not useful, if possible adopt Joplin style
• one can already turn off the backlink (inserted into the new note), it would be really useful if the user could turn off the link to the new note (inside the original note) - or even better replace it with some predefined text
• title pop-up works fine, but ideally the text used in the pop-up should be highlighted, such that if you want to change it you can start typing right away
• it would be nice if the "text to appear before backlink" could be auto-paired when using brackets etc.

Hi thanks for taking a time to write

unlike the standard behavior of Joplin, the link created in the original note cannot be clicked on (with cmd-left-click) to switch to the new note (the same DOES work for the link in the new note). Bug or oversight ?

Do you ctrl+left-click in wysiwyg or editor/preview pane? There is no default to go to link inside of editor, left click is default in preview and ctrl+left in wysiwyg.

Those defaults work in my instance so i can't reproduce (but read next answer)

• in the wysiwyc editor the link created inside the original note is not useful, if possible adopt Joplin style

All plugins for Joplin are incompatible with wysiwyg editor. As far as i know there are no plans to make them compatible with this view.

• one can already turn off the backlink (inserted into the new note), it would be really useful if the user could turn off the link to the new note (inside the original note) - or even better replace it with some predefined text

I've heard this request by other users too so it will go into todo list.

• title pop-up works fine, but ideally the text used in the pop-up should be highlighted, such that if you want to change it you can start typing right away

I think it can be done.

• it would be nice if the "text to appear before backlink" could be auto-paired when using brackets etc.

Could you give example of how it should look?

Everything I do is in the WYSIWYG editor, on MacOS.

1. on Mac the ctrl modifier key is called often cmd, I confirm the statement that links can't be opened (as detailed above).
2. Seems a misunderstanding, I should have said: the "note ID / link" created inside the original note (example from my notes xxx is not useful, it looks strange, just takes space, and has no purpose It would be nice if it got replaced by a working link. ...
3. if this text reads "from" than "from is inserted, if the text starts with [ or { or < (e.g. <from, BUT NOT ) than the result looks like this: <from ... backlink title ... >.

I hope this helps a bit ;)
