This is what I see:
Note that the positioning of the dropdown appears unrelated to this PR (see #28917 (comment)). My instinct here: this is really nice! It doesn't look like a lot of code complexity, but it's a really nice little feature for linking to existing stuff. It's so rare that I'd ever want to write Moreover, it doesn't weigh down the user interface, because it's just a "commandline tool", and it shares such DNA with the slash command already. I personally think there's a place for this. If others are fans, I'd tweak a few small things:
Nice work! |

Works as advertised! @draganescu, this is a great use of Testing Notes
In the screencast below, I covered the following scenarios:

Took it for a spin: Seems cool! It's a pretty power-user specific feature, but since it doesn't weigh the UI at all, it's a nice balance. If it doesn't affect performance negatively, it seems fine for this one to get a code review and land as is! We could do a few improvements in the nitpick category, though. It'd be nice to add this new keyboard shortcut to the shortcuts sheet, this one: It also seems like we should have an icon for posts. I don't really love the "Pin" for posts, even if it has historically been represented that way. Nevertheless we do have a pin icon in the library: We could also, in the name of post types, use the same general pattern, and do this: None of those icons are published yet, but we probably want them. Let me know if you want the vectors to add to the library. |

I wish I'd get notified for thumbs up 😅 — sorry for the delay. Here are new icons: #39139 |

Added the new icon and the shortcut in the help modal. Something I tried and failed is to timeout the sending of requests but for some reason using |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Giving tentative approval to this one because:
- It's a fun power user feature that is likely to make a few people very happy
- It does not add any UI weight virtualy at all since it's likely to be rare people intentionally type
[[for typographic reasons
It also works well:
One small thing, the keyboard shortcut help looks good (see the bottom):
But shouldn't it be under "Block shortcuts"? Perhaps right under the slash command since its behavior is somewhat similar? I know the command isn't block level so it's a stretch. But it works in a block? Alternately we could rename the "Text formatting" to be "Text formatting & shortcuts"?
It'd also be nice to get another code sanity check, but otherwise: nice one!

@jasmussen thanks for the 👍🏻 The shortcut is very related to the link formatters so I'd leave it under "Text formatting", but move it up next to the other link format shortcuts. |

I just want to say that I deeply appreciate this feature, which I just discovered with Gutenberg 12.8. I had been futzing with various plugins that did a poor job of this sort of thing. I think you'll be very surprised at how many non-"power users" will love this as well! Thanks again! Edit: One point of feedback - it appears to work for CPTs, but not for bbPress Forums, Discussions or Replies, despite the fact that they are also CPTs. Is that something that could be investigated/added? I could see it being very useful. Perhaps a setting somewhere to allow us to select which CPTs can be autolinked? |

Just a thought: why not using |

@westonruter the editor also uses |

@westonruter The I'm ultimately indifferent to what is used, so long as it is functional. My concern would be confusion since, as @Mamaduka says, @ is already used for user autocompletion.

Test cases all seem to work. Thumbs up to adding the ability to link to categories and tags |
