Link Shortening

Design intent: Ruthlessly eliminate all unnecessary information on screen, but maintain original user input.

Antinote automatically shortens URLs so they don't take up as much space. This shortening is only visual and the full URL exists in the note's data — when you highlight and copy a shortened URL, the full URL text is sent to the clipboard.

• Open the URL in your browser with ⌘ + Click.
• Expand the shortened URL with ⌘ + Shift + Click. This will allow you to edit the URL text. Expanded links stay expanded until you manually shorten them again with ⌘ + Shift + Click.
• When you copy a shortened URL, the full URL is sent to the clipboard.
• URLs will only shorten after your text cursor leaves it.
• Duplicate URLs will have a "[#]" appended to them.
• Link shortening is disabled in "code" notes, and inside markdown code blocks.
• Both link toggles live in Settings > Editor > Links.
