Linkit provides an autocomplete interface for internal and external linking in rich-text editors. Linkit supports nodes, users, taxonomy terms, files, comments and basic support for all types of entities that define a canonical link template.
Drupal core will soon provide link autocomplete suggestions in CKEditor similar to what this module does. Sites using or considering using Linkit should follow this core issue to evaluate whether they can use the core solution instead of Linkit. See feature differences below to compare what Linkit includes that will not initially be in Drupal core.
