(Feature request) Option to disable the ability to create new child note with @

• I have searched the issue tracker for a feature request that matches the one I want to file, without success.

Describe feature

Right now, the 1st option after you try to link a note with @ or ctrl + L, is create a new child note. This results in an extra key press (the down button is far away enough to require you to move your arm) every time you want to link to an existing note. The option to turn off the feature of creating a new note with @ can save hundreds of key presses, not to mention the time and energy of having to move to said key. I know this might not sound like much, but it makes for a drastically less efficient workflow for those that don't need to create a new linked note with @.

I understand the problem, but creating config options is usually not a great solution for such problems.

One idea is that the feature stays where it is, but the second item in the list will be auto-selected, thus in your case you don't need to press down and if you want to create a note, you press up.

I'm now trying to figure out if this is possible with the autocomplete component.

Oh, yeah, that is better. I think a combination of the two ideas can be better for everyone involved though, where you can have the option to toggle which of the two items will be auto-selected, because I'm sure there are those that prefer the way it is now.
