you can kind of achieve this with yasnippet. I made this below: # -*- mode: snippet -*- # name: simple-link # key: sl # -- [[$1.org][$1]
to use it, you type sl, press tab, type in the file, and then tab ], and you get your link. that may be better than typing everything out, if you remember sl for simple link, and press tab. I tried to not have the trailing ] typed in, but as soon as you type a character org shrinks the link and it does not behave as you want. As an alternative, consider writing a short emacs function that inserts what you want. (defun sl (link) (interactive "sLink: ") (insert (format "[[%s.org][%s]]" link link))) Now you type M-x sl then enter the link in the minibuffer. What you want probably isn't feasible. How do you differentiate [[foo bar]] from a file and a heading in the current file?
