@ commands not working with spaces

[sambouwer]

WHAT IS THE BUG

HOW TO REPRODUCE IT

1. Create a new Object
2. Use the @ command to add a new Object
3. Write “next week” or “last month” or anything else with a space
4. See that there is no date Object suggested

THE EXPECTED BEHAVIOR

A date Object to be suggested to be created as happens when typing “tomorrow”. This is also mentioned in the keyboard shortcuts as listed inside the app, so therefore I expect @ commands to work with spaces.

SYSTEM INFORMATIONS

• OS:
  Windows 11
• Device:
  Dell XPS 15
• Anytype Version:
  0.29-10-beta (still in 0.33.3)

ADDITIONAL CONTEXT

Might be related to the Object menu disappearing when you type a space.

This is still the case in 0.31.54

Allow using spaces in object name during linking with @

WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND Currently when I try to link an object with @, I can’t use spaces in the search string. When I hit space the search window closes. I would like to be able to write spaces in the name. HOW COULD IT BE DONE Don’t close the search window on space press. REAL WORLD USE CASES I have many objects with the similar name like “How to …” and it’s very complicated for me link them with @ because I could only type “How” and have to scroll huge list of objects to find what I need …

This seems to be the case with all mentions, not just the date, but reading trough the other thread, you’re probably already aware of that.

Yep, I should generalize this bug report…

Wouldn’t it be better to close it since it’s superseded by the above linked post?

[sambouwer]

I think it should be registered as a bug even though Razor mentioned this behavior is intended (which led to the Feature Request) as the Anytype docs show this should be possible:

The examples “@three days ago” does not work because it contains a space.
