Description:
Currently, Helix Notes only triggers wiki‐link autocomplete when the user types [[ (double square brackets). This request proposes adding 【【 (U+3010, U+3010) as an additional trigger for the autocomplete popup.
Important:
Single Chinese brackets 【 and 】 (U+3010 and U+3011) must remain as plain text – they should NOT trigger any special behavior.
Only the double 【【 should invoke the autocomplete (and similarly, after selection, the closing pair would be 】】).
Expected behavior
When the user types 【【, Helix Notes shows the same wiki‐link suggestion list (existing note titles).
Upon selecting a title, the app inserts 【【Selected Title】】.
The inserted link should be clickable/navigable just like a standard Title link – i.e., Helix Notes should treat 【【...】】 as a valid wiki‐link delimiter.
Single 【 or 】 typed alone (e.g., in 【note】 or 【title】) must NOT open autocomplete or behave as a link.
Why this is needed
Many Chinese users naturally type 【【 for emphasis or outline structures, but currently it does nothing. Adding this trigger makes wiki‐linking more intuitive without breaking existing plain‐text usage of single brackets.
Avoids conflict with mixed syntax like 【title】 where inner 【 and 】 are part of the title text – they should remain literal.
Edge cases to consider
If a note title itself contains 【 or 】, the autocomplete should still work.
The link resolver should treat 【【 ... 】】 as equivalent to ... , but only when both opening and closing brackets are double. Single brackets remain inert.
Thank you for considering this enhancement – it would greatly improve the experience for Chinese writers while preserving full backward compatibility.
