Nova^™

Markdown File Linker allows you to insert links to local files as Markdown links, perfect for linking between articles in your Jekyll blog!

Usage

To run Markdown File Linker:

• Select the Editor → Insert File Link or Insert Image Link menu items; or
• Open the command palette and type Insert File Link or Insert Image Link

You might also choose to set a keyboard shortcut using Nova → Settings... → Key Bindings, such as:

• Cmd+Shift+L to invoke Insert File Link
• Cmd+Shift+I to invoke Insert Image Link

Results

You choose a local file using the file selector, such as:

• /Users/matt/Projects/blog/_posts/2023/2023-11-21-yoyozo-how-i-made-a-playdate-game-in-39kb.md

And it will be inserted as:

• /2023/11/21/yoyozo-how-i-made-a-playdate-game-in-39kb/

If you've selected some text before invoking the extension, you'll get:

• [YOYOZO](/2023/11/21/yoyozo-how-i-made-a-playdate-game-in-39kb/)

For an image you might end up with:

• ![IMG](/images/posts/yoyozo-teaser.gif)

Configuration

To configure global preferences, open Extensions → Extension Library... then select Markdown File Linker's Settings tab.

You can customise the following:

• Posts Folder Name
  • default: _posts
• Images Folder Name

• Path Transformation Regex

• Path Replacement Pattern
