ObsidianTweaks

This is a small plugin that implements some features of Obsidian that I believe should've been part of the core release -- perhaps in the future they will be? ❤️

Philosophy

• By default no features are enabled. You can enable the features you want.
  • Thus all features can also be disabled.
• All code is released into public domain without any requirement for attribution using the Unlicense.

Features

Below is a list of the current functionality available for you to enable.

Note that hotkeys cannot be 'disabled', but they can be set to Blank. They are all set to Blank by default. Go to Settings > Hotkeys to set the shortcut to match suggestions below, or use your own binding!

Better Toggles

The default toggles in Obsidian can be a bit wonky at times and do not always work well. The toggles implemented here should always return to the same state when toggled twice.

They also do nice word-wrapping for you.

Additionally Bold and Italics are implemented with underscores as well as asterisks. Simply bind the command you want.

Math toggles are also included.

How to install

Install the Obsidian plugin via one of the three methods described below.

Community Plugins

BRAT

Manual Installation

Alternatively you can do a manual installation:

- Extract the files within the zip file into `ObsidianTweaks` folder
- Place the folder in your .obsidian/plugins directory
- Reload plugins (the easiest way is just restarting Obsidian)
- Activate the plugin as normal.

Why Unlicense?

In case the developers of Obsidian want to just straight copy some code into Obsidian, they can do that without worrying about licensing at all.

Note that any contributions to ObsidianTweaks will thus also be Unlicensed.

Honorable Mentions

I initally planned to contribute to the Hotkeys++ plugin, but since I don't necessarily want ObsidianTweaks to be limited to hotkeys in the future, I decided to make my own.
