Draggable List Items

Reorder list items by dragging.

Obsidian Downloads Obsidian Compatibility

variant_d_polished_14s

Works in reading view and live preview, on desktop and mobile. Tasks (- [ ]), bullets (- * +), and ordered lists (1., 1)) each form their own drag groups, so you can't drag a task into a bullet list. Nested children move with their parent. Ordered lists renumber on drop.

Usage

Hover a list item to reveal the handle, then drag. On mobile the handle is always visible. A ghost preview follows the cursor and a drop indicator line shows where the item will land.

Esc cancels an in-progress drag.

Collapse / expand

Right-click the handle on a collapsible list item to toggle its collapsed state. The handle replaces the default collapse chevron.

Cross-group drag

Enable Cross-group drag in settings to drag items between separate lists at the same indent level (e.g., between two bullet lists).

Cross-file drag

Enable Cross-file drag in settings to drag items between different files across editor panes. Live preview only.

Settings

Open Settings → Community plugins → Draggable List Items:

  • Enable drag handles -- Show or hide all drag handles.
  • Enable cross-group drag -- Drag items between groups at the same indent.
  • Enable cross-file drag -- Drag items across files in different editor panes (live preview only).
