[[ search box Add buttons like alt m search box.

[[ search box Add buttons like copy, link, and mirror below the alt m search box. Sometimes you just want to call a modifiable template from a distance. If you call it to link or mirror it, it will not affect The template of the original content is cumbersome and has no responsive function

If you are at a and want to copy, link, and mirror the content to b at this time, it is very easy, just alt m to bring up the search box; but if you are at b at this time and want to directly copy a copy of the content of a (copied The content modification will not affect the original content, it is sometimes needed, such as calling a template), it will be very troublesome, you have to search for the content at a in another pane and then copy it over, I hope legend can add it in the search box of [[ Function shortcut keys like alt m under the search box

Yellen

And this also has the advantage that [[ can also directly call the mirror like alt m, [[ is indeed better to trigger than sfit 99 and the operation is more unified

Roy

Totally agree, alt m can better transfer the information to its appropriate place, if [[]] also adds this function, it can more conveniently call the information at the current position and copy a copy of the original text that can be modified arbitrarily. If you just link the modified content, there will be more concerns, because to modify it, you must modify the original content

alt m move nodes is one of my most used and favorite functions in legend. It is the most convenient tool I have ever used to organize messy text content. I am used to writing all kinds of things throughout the day in my daily notes. Very messy, all kinds of content are in it. I can easily write anything that may not be related to each other. Because of the existence of the mobile node function. I can send all kinds of messy content to it very conveniently and quickly. The place to go. Efficient and easy to use. A shortcut key of alt m satisfies the four functions of moving, copying, linking, and mirroring. It covers all my needs for sorting out the messy content. In terms of sorting out the messy content, legend is for me It is a perfect product.

However, in terms of using the saved resources to organize new content. I think there is still a lot of room for improvement in legend. Perhaps in this regard, there should also be a big killer like mobile nodes. For example, “reverse move nodes”

Maybe it is possible to develop such a function “reversely move a node”. Its shortcut can be set to alt shift m or other. Its usage is the opposite of alt m to move a node. At a, alt m can search for b, and then put a (move copy link Mirror) to b. And alt shift m can search d at c with alt shift m, and move the content of d (move copy link mirror) to c. I have written many commonly used small article fragments. When I am writing When I have new content, I need to create a new pane to search for related tags. Find the article fragments and drag them to new articles for reuse. This is actually a bit troublesome. Because the operation steps are a bit more. And various article fragments are scattered in In various places, and in various labels. It takes more steps to find them.

[[ blacklink can handle some of these problems relatively easily. But it is only convenient in some places. For example, it is more convenient when the article fragments you reuse are in the new content and do not need to be changed. But many times you need to put the content After citing it and making various modifications, it can be turned into a new article and put it in word and then sent to others. The [[ blacklink function will allow you to modify the new article part while modifying the original article fragment. This will introduce more complications, which are not easy to handle. So instead of using this method, I prefer to use the first method with more complicated steps.

If you use alt shift m “reverse move node” function will solve this problem perfectly. At c, you can not only link/mirror the content of d to c. You can also move/copy the content of b to c It is convenient to organize new content. At the same time, it is very convenient and elegant to integrate (mirror and link functions into one shortcut key again) So far, you can use two shortcut keys in legend, so that you can freely use any text to facilitate move to wherever you need to go.

I like this idea a lot! I added it in the latest beta. What do you think?

Yellen

Jay Super cool!!! This is definitely the most exciting thing I’ve heard in a while!!! 💖💖💖

I just tested it, and it fits my imagination very well. But there is a small place that may be improved.
For example:

This is the beginning of a sentence [[This is the content embedded in this sentence]] This is the end of the sentence.

The link function can embed the sentence in the middle of a paragraph.

I imagine that ctrl copy here can be like a link or embedded in the middle of a sentence. For example:

This is the beginning of a sentence. This is the content embedded in this sentence (copy content) This is the end of the sentence.

But after testing it, I found that the searched for copied content It will directly replace the original sentence.

The use logic of alt m is to move to the child node of the target node. This is completely sufficient and reasonable in terms of organizing the content. However, when splicing articles, a lot of copied content will be embedded in the middle of the node. If you use it directly, the original node will be changed. The content is deleted. So I need to enter a node to copy the content and then cut it to the middle part of the text.

This is already a lot more convenient than before without this feature, but maybe it can be optimized a bit more.

Maybe this function should be reused by most of the code of alt m. Alt m does not have the ability to inlay the copied text into the middle of the node. I am not sure if the implementation of this function will be very difficult. But if it is relatively easy to implement, implement this function will be more perfect

Jay

Ah yes, you’re right. I had been testing by entering links in empty items, so just replacing them made sense. But it should be smarter and have different behavior if the item has text in it. I’ll work on it some more.

Jay

Ok, that’s fixed in the latest beta. It copies target text into the item if it already has text. Does that work better for you?

Yellen

Jay Super perfect!!!

LauraH

Ohhh, great request and great implement Jay. I like this too!!!

Eik

I’m reading this thread and feel like this could be important for me to understand. Can somebody make a short clip as some kind manual? Would help me a lot.
