Right now, and please someone correct me and tell me that I am wrong, there is no way to autofill an existing article after you see the dropdown menu. For us Keyboard Kyles, this is a real bummer, because now I have to reach all the way over to my mouse! In all seriousness, it isn't a big deal, but it is a small tweak that would really help out my workflow as I try to just quickly link between connected topics.
Simply adding the ability to page through the options using the keyboard arrows would let me stay on the home row and prevent the current requirement to use the mouse!
Like I said, I'm not super proficient with WorldAnvil, I'm just a casual user who really enjoys the service. If there is a solution or if I have erred in another way with this post, please let me know! Thank you!

I wish that was my experience. I left the platform for a while but do really enjoy it and would like to keep using it. That said, the linking system is both unintuitive and the autocomplete is spotty at best. Is this an issue you are still opposed to considering?

on 2022-05-29 15:29This could also help with how that option functions on mobile. I've been on this site with 2 different phones and that scrolling still likes to act up at times. Maybe an "arrow" can get around that?
