Hover Preview

IWE supports the standard LSP textDocument/hover request to preview the contents of a linked note without navigating away from the current document.

Supported links

  • Wiki links: [[note]]
  • Markdown links: [title](note)

External links (e.g. https://..., mailto:...) are ignored.

Preview content

  • Returns the target note as Markdown (MarkupContent with kind markdown).
  • Strips frontmatter at the top of the note (delimited by --- and terminated by --- or ...).
  • Returns the rest of the document without truncation so your editor can decide how to render/clip it.

Editor usage

  • Helix: place the cursor on a link, then space + k
  • Neovim: place the cursor on a link, then K (or run :lua vim.lsp.buf.hover())
  • VS Code: hover the link (or run “Show Hover”)
