Auto-Complete

IWE can suggest links as you type using the standard LSP code completion feature.

Link Format

By default, completions insert Markdown-style links [title](key). You can configure IWE to use WikiLinks [[key]] instead:

[completion]
link_format = "wiki"

Available options:

• "markdown" (default): Creates [title](key) style links
• "wiki": Creates [[key]] style WikiLinks

Minimum prefix length

By default, IWE requires at least 3 characters before showing completion suggestions. You can adjust this threshold:

[completion]
min_prefix_length = 3

Set to 0 to always show completions regardless of how many characters have been typed.

Document Titles

By default, IWE uses the first header of a document as its title in completion suggestions. You can configure IWE to use a YAML frontmatter field instead:

[library]
frontmatter_document_title = "title"

With this configuration, documents with frontmatter like:

---
title: Custom Document Title
---

# Header

Will appear in completions as “Custom Document Title” and insert [Custom Document Title](key) when selected. If the frontmatter field is missing, IWE falls back to using the first header.
