Hotkeys for inserting current date do not add dates as wikilinks

[jasht1]

Thank you very much for this plugin, It is a fantastic time saver!

I use the "Natural Language Dates: insert current date and time" hotkey to timestamp a lot of my work, but would like the ability to chose to add the date as a wiki link by default.

Especially if "add dates as links" is enabled for the rest of the plugin's functionality.

Though perhaps an even more powerful solution would be to have the custom format option support additional syntax like link brackets as currently it behaves like this when wikilink brackets are added:


Perhaps also have a way to customise the format for 'date & time' like is possible to do with 'date' and 'time' individually.

A work around for this is adding \[\[ before and \]\] after in the date formatting section in the settings like so : \[\[YYYY-MM-DD\]\]
Though you should then disable the "Add dates as link?" option else you will get 4 sets of square brackets whenever you insert a date any other way.

Note that this work around will break the functionality of Shift+Enter to keep input text as an alias as the plug-in doesn't see your dates as links.

Until the main issue is fixed you must choose between linked hotkey timestamps &
"Typing @today Enter will automatically be expanded to the current date. Press Shift at the same time to keep the input text as an alias (e.g. @today → [[202112-27|today]])."
