Bad behavior generating new zettel when there is a dot in the name (double heading and backlinks) about vim-zettel

Thanks for the report. I cannot reproduce it, unfortunately. Could you please share also your configuration for Vim-zettel?

Thank you again!

I still cannot reproduce it, I am afraid :/ But I can see that you have mappings for : in the vimrc file. I've found that I use execute ":w" on the quite a few places in vim-zettel, so maybe this is the problem. I found that it is not necessary to use :w, w is enough, so I replaced them. Does this fix it for you?

[rober-m]

Thank you for the response. I tried so many things by now... and what I have to prove it you ask? A new bug... haha. I removed everything from the .vimrc except for the plugins and the minimal vim-zettel and Vimwiki config.

Now the previous bug disappeared, but there is a new one. When I create a note inside another note, the link is generated, but not the new note. So, when I hit Enter on the link, it goes nowhere.

By the way, the thing that made the previous bug disappear was commenting this line:
let g:zettel_format = "%y-%m-%d_%H%M_%title"
I can't say why.

I will reinstall everything and report back. Luckily my work setup is safe on Neovim.

[rober-m]

IT WORKED! I reinstalled everything and now works perfectly. I don't know why. Maybe a clash of plugins?

Thank you so much for your help! This issue is no more!

[michal-h21]

Great! Yes, package clash is definitely possible, maybe you had older version of some of the packages, so update fixed that.
