With all the smoothness of Discourse, I’m surprised this doesn’t already exist (it exists in Wordpress - you know, that ugl…wonderfully coded thing). I many times link to existing topics on our Discourse installation, and I have to navigate to it, copy the link to clipboard, come to the new post an…

This has been discussed many times. You should be able to find the discussion with a search. I think it’s just that it’s harder than it seems. You can navigate to the topic while you are composing and even quote from it, so you don’t have to navigate back.

At https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-about-mentioning-topic-feature/7350/2 we discuss this power user feature, where you can press CTRL+ALT+F while composing a post, type your search, select the match with ↑ or ↓ and then press A to insert it on the composer. I created the link above using it.

Wow. I missed that. The post you linked to says [imagem] Give that a shot, I’d much rather improve search for everyone instead of adding a secret shortcut few will learn Which doesn’t really explain the secret shortcut you describe. :wink:

[imagem] Falco: I know you are joking but that is actually possible with a plugin, and @vinothkannans created just that for a customer :exploding_head:. Very cool! Actually, what would be cool and pretty easy here is that replace-a-word theme that would re-write INSTALL-cloud (and something …

I think a transparent inline search with suggestions like the Tags box (with a longer delay after last keypress, if we’re worried about traffic/cpu) is much better than a secret shortcut. Anyone else? Is there a chance it will get implemented?

I’d support this, although it probably only make sense as a plugin or behind a site setting. It would be super useful for example in Wiki categories.

Shortcut works for me, but we should definitely publicise it. Something discobot could teach?
