Links and search
Memories can point at each other with [[name]] links, so related facts stay connected. Search finds memories by name, description and text, in the same window as your conversations.
Open it
Section titled “Open it”- Links work in the memory editor, on a project’s Memory tab and in Settings › Memory.
- Press Command, Shift, FControl, Shift, F (or Search conversations in the command palette) to search memory and conversations.
- Run Search memory… in the command palette (Command, KControl, K) to search memory only.
Link memories
Section titled “Link memories”Write [[name]] in a memory’s text to link to another memory by its name. Use [[name|label]] to show other words. Links inside code are left alone.
In the editor:
- A link in the link colour opens that memory.
- A link in orange points at a memory that isn’t written yet. Click it to write it: New memory opens with the name filled in.
A name is looked up in the memory’s own folder first, then in your personal memory.
Linked from and Not written yet
Section titled “Linked from and Not written yet”Under the text, two lists show how the memory connects:
- Linked from: the memories that link here. Click one to open it.
- Not written yet: the names this memory links to that nothing answers to, each with Write it….
In a list, a N links not written yet chip shows only the memories with such links. Click it again to show them all.
