List Fold

An Obsidian plugin that toggles fold/unfold on list items only, without touching headings.

Obsidian's built-in "Fold all" command folds both headings and lists. This plugin gives you list-specific folding, which is useful when you work with deeply nested outlines and want headings to stay expanded.

Commands

CommandDescription
Toggle fold top-level listsFolds or unfolds only root-level list items in the current note
Toggle fold all list levelsFolds or unfolds every nested list item recursively

Both commands detect the current fold state: if most target items are folded, they unfold; otherwise they fold.

Usage

  1. Open the command palette (Ctrl/Cmd + P)
  2. Search for "List Fold"
  3. Run either command

Assign hotkeys in Settings > Hotkeys for quick access.

Compatibility

  • Works alongside the Outliner plugin
  • Requires Obsidian desktop (uses CodeMirror 6 editor APIs)
