Question: How are zk notes supposed to be navigated?

[ndavd]

Suppose I have a note which contains multiple links to other notes on the topic.
Ideally I would be able to open that note read its contents, click on a link and go to the respective note.

How can that be done?

Usually you would pair zk with a Markdown editor (e.g. Obsidian, Zettlr) or any LSP-compatible code editor (e.g. VS Code)

If you prefer to stay in the terminal, many are using Neovim with zk. There's also a dedicated Neovim plugin to augment Neovim with zk features.

Alternatively, you can use tools to convert your notebook to a browsable website, such as neuron or gollum.

I use neovim and I currently have that plugin installed. is there a way to follow the links using it?

[mickael-menu]

Yes, check out the Example Mappings section.

Following links is handled with this mapping:

lua << EOF

vim.api.nvim_set_keymap("n", "<CR>", "<Cmd>lua vim.lsp.buf.definition()<CR>", { noremap=true })

EOF
