Ctrl XA Plugin

Inspired by vim plugin : https://github.com/Konfekt/vim-CtrlXA

This Obsidian plug-in allows easy cycle through lists of keywords such as for example:

• Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday/...
• true/false
• yes/no
• set/unset
• yesterday/today/tomorrow
• roman numerals I, II, III...

It also automatically increases/decreases numbers and dates.

Usage

Install and enable this plugin.

Go to settings of plugin, fill the lists you need.

Go to settings/hotkeys, define hotkeys for commands "Ctrl-XA cycle various items: Cycle up" and "Ctrl-XA cycle various items: Cycle Down", could be Ctrl-X and Ctrl-A (like in Vim), or any key you want...

You are ready to use it:

• please input a sentence like "Will do it on Monday"
• place your cursor on "Monday"
• press hotkey you defined for cycle up.
• sentence is now "Will do it on Tuesday"

Releasing process

• check content of changelog.md and add release date
• check content of versions.json
• check "version" field in manifest.json
• check "version" field in package.json
• check everything is saved and commited
• git tag and push
• let github actions generate the new draft release https://github.com/nbossard/obsidian-CtrlXA/actions
• go to release page https://github.com/nbossard/obsidian-CtrlXA/releases edit latest draft and publish it
• bump version number in "CHANGELOG.md", "versions.json", "manifest.json", "package.json"
• save stage and commit

Development environment

tools

• don't forget to npm install
• open another terminal running npm run dev
• developped using neovim
• Plugin obsidian "Hot Reload" also helped a lot https://github.com/pjeby/hot-reload

Code principles

• "happy path is left aligned"
• test as much as possible, using jest.

branches

Apparently Obsidian is checking content of manifest.json on "main" branch to detect for new versions. So "main" branch will now contain only releases and work will be done in "develop" branch.

github actions

This project uses "github actions" to generate (draft) releases out of tags. This is configured in file release.yml Refer to documentation: https://docs.github.com/en/actions
