Explain the problem as you see it
I often use the SHIFT+"get a link to node" to quickly refer to an existing node (instead of looking to that node with the "@"). But when pasting the link, it creates it on a new line and not inline in the text where it is pasted.
Why is this a problem for you?
I want the link to be pasted where my cursor is. As mentioned above, it's sometimes quicker for me to shift-right-click on the note to get the link and paste it into my text than to use @, which is not an easy key combination on my swiss keyboard. But when pasting, it automatically adds the link to a new line, not where my cursor is.
Suggest a solution
The paste should happen where the cursor is

Hi Catherine R.
You can create an inline reference to a node by cutting and pasting the node reference into a node with existing text.
I use CTRL+C and CTRL+V to cut and paste nodes more quickly. Place the cursor anywhere in the desired node and cut (CTRL+C) to copy the node reference. Then, place the cursor anywhere in a destination node with existing text and paste (CTRL+V) to create the inline reference.
If you paste a node reference into an empty node, you get a new reference node in its entirety. Entering a space in an empty node allows you to paste an inline reference at the beginning of a node. The space can be deleted after creating the inline reference.
Lastly, Tana's updated 'set alias' command allows you to rename inline node references, which is incredibly useful also.
I hope that is helpful.
