Path completion modes

[squidfunk]

Description

Zensical Studio currently completes paths from the project root, and when inserting, makes links relative to the current document. While this is a sensible default, we might also allow different completion modes, including:

• Search by header, e.g. # Search|
• Search in current scope, e.g. ./|

We just shipped Zensical Studio 0.2.15 which improves path completion:

How it works

Completion now adapts to the part of the target you are editing:

• Start an empty link: nearby pages are ranked first.
• Type a path: results narrow to the relevant directory while preserving the authored relative prefix.
• Complete a document path: Studio immediately offers that document's anchors.
• Type #: Studio offers local anchors, including headings, tabs, footnotes, and explicit IDs.
• Start with /: Studio completes project-root paths instead of converting them to relative paths.
• Reference links, footnotes, snippets, emoji, and icons continue to use their respective project-aware completion sources.
