org store link doesnt work

org store link doesnt work

[Glauber Alex Dias Prado]

Hi I cant seem to make org store link work, does i have to do something
special? It simply says that the link was stored but when i try to
retrieve it the only possible completions are the kind of links that are
possible, like nntp: file: ...

Use the <up> arrow or M-p.  The stored links are in the history, not in 
the
completion table.  It used to be like this, but it was changed.  If the
documentation still says you should use completion, it is wrong and I'd
like to know about it.

Hi the docs arent wrong but are missing the M-p which worked here to
restore it, where down and up arrows doesnt work probably cause of
something that i have customized which might steals the bind (im not sure)
below it follows where i could find info doc on this subject:

All links stored during the current session are part of
     the history for this prompt, so you can access them with <up> and
     <down>.  Completion, on the other hand, will help you to insert
     valid link prefixes like `http:' or `ftp:', including the prefixes
     defined through link abbreviations (*note Link abbreviations::).

Thanks a lot, i was already thinking i had something broken here on my side.

Hi the docs arent wrong but are missing the M-p which worked here to
restore it, where down and up arrows doesnt work(sorry correcting it
they work after i had pressed M-p at least one time) probably cause of
something that i have customized which might steals the bind (im not sure)

What keys do you use to complete the link? On my setup I get
standard-prefixes with TAB completion, to get stored links I have to
use <M-p>, <M-n> or just <RETURN> for the last stored link.

Cool stuff <RETURN> is very pratical when not working with lots of links
which should be more than 80% of the cases i use it.
