Mention Things

Obsidian plugin that adds support to mention other notes via customizable signs. Most commonly used to @-mention people:

When you hit enter on a suggestion, it'll create a link that looks like this:

and leave the cursor at the end.

Options

Mention Types

Character - The symbol (like "@" or "&") that triggers the suggestion box while typing. Each character can be associated with a different type of mention.

Label - A descriptive name (like "Person" or "Project") that appears in the suggestion box when creating new entries. This helps identify what type of content you're creating.

Type - Whether the note-name should be inserted as a real link, or if you just want to auto-complete the filename as plain-text (useful when using Virtual Linker or similar plugins)

General Settings

Match from start - When enabled, only suggests items that begin with your search term. Recommended for faster, more precise matching.

Max match length - Limits how many characters you can type before suggestions stop appearing. Prevents suggestions from showing when typing longer text that happens to start with a mention character.

Stop characters - Any character in this list will immediately close the suggestion box when typed. Helpful for quickly dismissing suggestions when you type punctuation or special characters.
