[ and { shortkeys don't work in Confluence Cloud

With conlfuence server i'm able to create links to pages by starting with a [, but in the cloud version it doesn't work. Does anyone know how to "solve" this? I know it's possible to do this via ctrl+k, but this is a pitty to have this extra handling.

The / can be used instead of { to get to macros and some other shortcuts, but I can't find anything for link to another page.

[ is more important :-) Let's wait till someone helps me with that :-)

I'd agree - I use that all the time to create stubs - pages that don't exist yet, but I need to write later, when I'm done with the current page.

@Nic Brough -Adaptavist-  i've found the solution :) It doesn't work as good as the "on premise" way but you need to do it like this:

[New Word]()

 

This will search for the "new word" and if it's not defined it will create a link to create the new page like you've in the onpremise/server version.

 

I hope they will "fix" this and make it work like on the server version.

Ohh, that's really good to know!  Thank you!

I too hope they fix it and put back in the basic [<space>: new page title] linkage that server still has.
