# FastForwardLink
|
|
|
|
Fast-forward from multiple links to a single target note.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Introduction
|
|
|
|
FastForwardLink helps you write faster, keep your notes interconnected, and reduce navigation friction in your vault. This plugin allows you to set multiple links to open a single target note, effectively creating synonymous links. Use custom link abbreviations to type faster, establish conceptual connections between terms, navigate between notes quicker, and keep your vault organized.
|
|
|
|
For example, when discussing photo editing software, `ps` is often shorthand for `photoshop`. Without FastForwardLink, the link `[[ps]]` would navigate to a note titled `ps`. But with FastForwardLink, the `[[ps]]` link forwards you directly to your target note `photoshop` (or any other specified note).
|
|
|
|
Here are some examples of how you might set up FastForwardLink:
|
|
|
|
- `ps` > `photoshop`
|
|
- `js` > `javascript`
|
|
- `tay tay` > `taylor swift`
|
|
- `46` > `joe biden`
|
|
- `e=mc2` > `Einstein's special theory of relativity`
|
|
- `favorite film` > `bill and ted's bogus journey`
|
|
|
|
> Press `Ctrl + Alt + R` to quickly create a forwarding link.

## Installation and Use
|
|
|
|
### Installing FastForwardLink
|
|
|
|
To install FastForwardLink:
|
|
|
|
1. Download the FastForwardLink plugin file and place it in your vault's plugins folder at `{VaultFolder}/.obsidian/plugins/{your-plugin-name}/`.
|
|
2. In Obsidian, go to **Settings** > **Community Plugins** and enable **FastForwardLink**.
|
|
|
|
The plugin is now ready for use.
|
|
|
|
### Setting Up a Fast-Forward Link
|
|
|
|
To set up a fast-forwarding link:
|
|
|
|
1. Create or open the note you want to fast-forward to a target note. For example, a note titled `ps`.
|
|
2. In the note, type the target note's title wrapped in the forwarding syntax: `::>[[target-note]]`. For example, to forward from `ps` to `photoshop`, include `::>[[photoshop]]` in the `ps` note.
|
|
|
|
Clicking the `ps` link in any note now opens the `photoshop` note.
|
|
|
|
### Keyboard Shortcut
|
|
|
|
Yup, typing sucks. Fortunately, there's a keyboard shortcut to make it easier to create a forwarding note.
|
|
|
|
Press `Ctrl + Alt + R` (PC) or `Cmd + Opt + R` (macOS) to wrap selected text in the fast-forward syntax.
