With today’s public release, everyone can enjoy type-to-complete style auto-completion of #hashtags in their Zettelkasten.

That means all tags from all of your notes are available for you to insert quickly. Avoid typos and find obscure tags without having to look them up!

If you’ve never used any kind of auto-completion before, the main keys are:

• Escape makes the popover go away and discards a suggestion.
• Tab selects the topmost completion candidate as a suggestion (that shows up as a preview in your note);
• Arrow keys move the selection if the popover is visible.
• With an active selection Tab again or press Enter to commit the selection.
• On macOS, ⌥+Esc (Option+Escape) brings up the completion popover manually, too, in case you want to edit a half-finished tag or accidentally dismissed it.

The same completion popover now also enhances how dictionary words are completed:

macOS’s default dictionary-based word completion is invoked by pressing ⌥+Esc in any macOS-native app, including The Archive. Usually, you can only pick words from the list once it shows up, and it’ll vanish otherwise. But with The Archive’s new completion popover, you can make the dictionary popover appear and then type-to-complete, too.

As always, people on the Cutting Edge update channel could test this feature early, so switch channels to play with upcoming improvements before everyone else can.

Up next, we’ll make auto-completion available for wiki links. Stay tuned!
