Node/file pick list does not appear when calling org-road-node-find

Complete newbie to org-roam!

When trying to open a node using org-roam-node-find, a pick list does not appear. Instead, I am prompted to type in a file name. This will become impossible as the nodes multiply! How can I change this behavior? I have org-roam-db-autosync-mode in my .emacs file per the manual. When I run org-roam-db-sync this message is displayed: “Processing modified files …. done”. So it appears that all of the nodes are being indexed.

Why do I not see a list of files instead of just a prompt to enter a file name?

Thanks for any help!

I am guessing this is because you use the default completion. I suggest you try Vertico. I use it and it gives me a list of node titles without typing anything.

One other thing is that I guess you don’t see “file names” listed, do you? What you see should be list of titles, not file names.

  • File names are like this: ~/Documents/areas/2024-09-29T000330_pcase_let_example.org.
  • Its title that shows up in my node list is like this “Emacs pcase-let destructuring example”.

Vertico works. Thanks for the tip!
