Keyboard shortcut for following wikilinks

I am a big fan of the wikilinks behaviour in nvUltra (and previously nvAlt), but what I am missing currently is a keyboard driven way to follow those links.

 

To give you an idea of what I mean, if I am in a meeting, I start with an overview document, and use wikilinking to create related notes. Currently (as far as I am aware), this means typing `[[note title]]`, and then using the mouse to click on the link. It would be fantastic if I were able to use a keyboard shortcut rather than having to reach for the mouse.

 

I have no strong preferences for what keys to use, but I think I have tried other apps which use shift-return to follow links.

 

Thanks!

  I'm totally with you! Hope this is possible in the future.

  Bumping this request. Was kinda shocked when I went to use it today that there wasn't a shortcut already waiting. Initial thought was no biggie, I'll just add a shortcut for the menu item via KM... and then saw Open Link only exists in the context menu. Ended up writing an overly complex KM to expand my selection and search for it. Would much prefer a native, less Rube Goldberg-ian solution.

  I'm also all the way there for having this as a feature. The good 'ol Cmd + Enter of Notational Velocity is the only thing I miss. 

  I'll just take this opportunity to say that everything else about this software is an epic improvement on former iterations. Your software has so many applications, and cannot wait for it to become available.
