The plugin prevents follow the backlink standart obsidian behaviour

Open quctex opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open some note with backlinks.
  2. Click on backlink.

Best if the backlinked note is long enough to span multiple screens. Last cursor position in backlinked note should be near end of file. The link from the "backlinked note" to the "some note" should be in the middle of the note.

Expected Behavior:

  1. Obsidian opens backlink-note, scroll down to the corresponding link and highlight it.

Actual behaviour:

  1. Obsidian opens backlink-note, scroll down to the corresponding link and highlight it.
  2. Cursor moves down to the last position, so highlighted corresponding link fly-away upper.

I unfortunately still observe the same behavior (when in the list of backlinks, clicking on an entry first goes to it, but then Remember Cursor Position unfortunately goes to where the cursor was during the last edit).

I did try all the possible time lag settings, to no avail.

Any solution to this crippling problem (trying to reach a specific place in a note—through a backlink—is impossible) would be much welcome! 😀

this problem indeed stops me use backlinks normally. So I am considering remaining this plugin or not.

I would know how to help in debugging this point or, at least, to know what prevent the plugin to avoid to switch to the last restored position when the file is opened using a backlink.

I'm asking it because I was discussing obsidian people about including this functionality into the core but they will not take into account if it is achievable for a plugin developer and a plugins lready exist... 😊
